News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[BlakeW39]

I would rate it a lot higher...though I think the big effect in the queue could have been a little more thrilling, and I hate that the screens create so much light reflection...like everything needs to be painted with a super matte black paint and the intensity of the light projections need to be turned down or something, but it is a super fu ride, lots of laughs, and a pure joy...
We can pick apart little things, but this was a fun addition...

I mean the ride system is fun. I'm not saying it's a bad attraction, but it is wrong for EPCOT and on top of that, like you said the amount light coming from screens make the track and room visible and make the effects less convincing. If they just toned down the screens and maybe painted the track a really dark matte black like you said I think it would be a better attraction. But still a bad decision for the park

I agree with that...It would have been better in DHS...but I like that they at least made it feel like a real pavilion in the pre-show... which kind of nods to the original park... If we are going to get rides based on IP, I hope they at least make things relevant to the pavilion...Could the Guardians have had some sort of educational component? Possibly yes and that would have helped.

Are the walls next to Guest Relations down already?

Are the walls next to Guest Relations down already?

Not as of yesterday, but they definitely look ready to drop this week. World Nature bathrooms too as the walkways over there were getting washed yesterday.

Never thought I would be so excited to hear about two walls dropping soon. I guess that just speaks to how long the walls have been up in EPCOT

I think they should build a Sweden pavilion to honor the Stockholm Syndrome being created by this project.

Two additional photos from today. The first photo shows some walls have appeared near the former Starbucks location.

The notices the walls by the former Starbucks on Monday but I forgot to grab a photo of it.

Is what's to the right of the old Starbuck's also still walled off?

Where that play area used to be? It is.

Are there any long-term plans for the area between the Imagination-World Showcase/Canada walkway area? Don't really understand why that area can't be designed to be cleared easily for festivals without the need to erect construction walls when not being used.

I mean, they reduced it to gravel, so I assume they're doing something with it at some point. I'd initially thought they closed it in order to incorporate the Starbucks area once that shut down, but it's been a while. Guess it's just low on the priority list?

The white triangular panels that were staged by CommuniCore Hall are actually being installed on the long service building for JoW.

 

[James Alucobond]

Apparently they have started adding these things from the site plan, which are large shade structures.
