News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[James Alucobond]

Yeah, I’ve seen a few of those spots. I think a couple were even over by the bathrooms where they could’ve just expanded what they’re doing over by Communicore Plaza out a bit to encompass the patches. I honestly think it’s just a case of things proceeding as normal because one hand doesn’t talk to the other.

We need the Zach to do a new post and breathlessly gush about the new bespoke concrete paving for World Nature! they could then push the completion date another year out...lol

Assuming Zach is still there?

Hmmm. His last post was March 20

He must be there! You can't spell "Corporate Razing and Raiding of Historical Nostalgia" without ZACH!!!!!

More aerials via Bioreconstruct.

They might be small, but they do look like fountains. Here's hoping!

Still, I hope, at some point for a larger fountain, even if it will be smaller than FoN.

Raised planters having drains is a good design decision. They’ll also have to have irrigation.

It's incredible how this isn't even open yet and already it's disappointing.

They literally could have just planted some trees in the Plaza that already existed and called it a day. The net result would be the same.

Such an unbelievable waste.

Looks great so far. Can't wait until the walls are down and we can experience Epcot without the infamous walls

These were put up over night at the festival center

Well those are certainly odd.

Anybody have a picture of the ground there from the Monorail? Are they staged there temporarily or secured to the pavement?

I would imagine they’re permanent lighting fixtures. We’ve never seen art of the back half of Communicore Plaza nearer Imagination (the only art cuts off after the first set of planters), but they seem to match the fixtures that will encircle the logo planter at the center of World Celebration.

Hooray! I've been waiting five years for these to finally arrive!

Probably bolted to these, then?

I’m almost not hopeful that it’s going to be complete for this fall

The high beam led fluorescent lighting is about the worst. Not impressive or thrilled, Epcot use to be pretty at night, not with those they have have been installing.

 

[Bocabear]

I am hoping it is not The high beam led fluorescent lighting...perhaps it is an addressable RGB fixture that resembles the other from the outside but will be something softer when complete... Though I was frightened when I saw the picture... Surely there is a good lighting designer on this project... They usually get lighting right....

LED fluorescent?

Do y'all mean LED lights in the form of a tube?
