News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[UNCgolf]

I highly doubt they’d remove Nemo but perhaps making the ride a bit more educational soon? One of my favorite personal armchair projects is having the dark ride be a lesson about marine ecosystems featuring Nemo and company

Personally I wish they'd remove Nemo and change the whole pavilion back to the original concept, when it was one of the best overall experiences at WDW.

Since they're not going to do that, though, they should at least reopen all the aquarium windows and use Nemo as an educational tool (as you mention) instead of the quite bad ride that exists now.

Wondering if more of the spine will open up with Moana on Oct 16, or will remain as is until December.

I may have lost track but what is going in the big open space next to the left of communicore hall, it looks like it should be part of the enclosed building but its open......

That’s CommuniCore Plaza and there will be a stage underneath the roof.

It’s frankly incredible how mismanaged this was that they tore down an entire building for their original plan, dropped that plan, then rebuilt half of the aforementioned building.

I'm hoping they can get to something like this for the Journey of Water opening:

And then this at some point in November:

Looking quite good, IMO.

I really do wonder if this is primer. The beige always fit the building better which is something I usually don't say since it's far from a favorite color. I always felt blue was overused everywhere on and in the pavilion.

It would certainly be nice to see a restoration of Living Seas to something closer to its original state.

I found it the most effective of the original pavilions in terms of its architecture due to the combination of shapes and the mural at the entrance. Like everything at Epcot, though, it fell victim to the post-1995 'improvements' which involved painting everything bright colours and adding clutter. This is one case where I think it could pretty much go back to its original state and look fantastic, which I'm not sure is true of all the original pavilions.

So there will be a huge amount of benches under all those tree lined gardens in the center.. right?

Yes

There are markings for bench installation underneath the shade structures in the northwest garden, the northeast garden appears to have traditional dining tables in the site plan, the southeast garden has seating built into the planters, and the southwest garden will have both traditional seating and built-in benches surrounding the nine centerpiece trees.

Looks so much better than the blue.

Alternate thought: Restore the old colors to the mural, but leave the Nemo characters at the front entrance. Move the original sun on the horizon down to where Coral Reef Restaurant is to bring more attention to it.

Living with the beige is the next pavilion over, it has way too much of it.
