News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

And, after looking at this shot, I'm really more convinced just how tight that pathway is going to be. Considering the expected mass of humanity.

I got a feeling due crowd control they are going to have you enter from open point and exit out the other until the fanfare of this dwindles down..

It has always had one entrance and one exit. Signage already indicates one of the paths is “exit only”.

Judging by this pic, I feel like the innoventions building is gonna be so hidden behind all those trees that the unfortunately asymmetrical hub won't feel THAT asymmetric while standing in the middle of it.

It looks like it'll feel very much like a garden to all sides

Patiently waiting for the day we get an actual opening timeframe or perhaps even month. Just something other than “fall”.

For Disney that seems about right...They won't give you a specific date until the last minute...

I really don't think it's much worse than the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or Maharaja Jungle Trek.

Fair enough. Will be there in a couple weeks and see what I can see.

Like anything else, there will be times when it will be a problem (certainly on busy days when it first opens) and times when it won't be.
I believe that when the dust settles, it we rarely be an issue.

With the whole Epcot retheme, I just wish they had chosen a more “timeless” look, instead of following the “clean, modern” trend. This all is gonna look outdated in 10-15 years

it's a shame they didn't update all the kiosks to the new design, instead just painted over the old ones

In 15-20 years, Cosmic Rewind is going to be outdated, too, unless they somehow update it with new IP. I guess that's easier to do since the ride is all screens and a moon.

They'll have to totally replace it. It was my understanding, with the 3rd film, this is as far as GOTG goes.

Maybe they could replace it with Milo Thatch's Wild Ride . . .

"Timeless" isn't a style you can just pick.

Sure you can! Just look for a style that has been in continuous vogue for the past several centuries and go with that!!!

Honestly, while I am definitely not the world's biggest fan of Cosmic Rewind, I actually don't view its aesthetic as one that will need to be updated. Personally I think most of the EPCOT pavillions look fine on the outside, it's just the inside that looks like what you might see in a mall from the 80s.
