As I expected, a New Guidemap is out!

Looks like the west bypass might finally be gone tomorrow.View attachment 757521

It is blocked off today.

Maybe only at rope drop? It's not roped off on the other end

I believe that bypass is being removed from general guest use.

Ok the music is pretty good I’ll give them that one and I absolutely love the landscapes but it still needs a water feature, that music would go so well with the sound of water. I don’t care what fountain it is or how big it is it needs a water feature.

Would it be helpful at Park Open and Close?

@tparris BTW, I didn't see it in any of the pictures but may have missed it—did you catch a glimpse of what's going on behind Dreamers Point? Is it just a curved wall of corten steel, or is there a bench or something there? It looked a bit weird from the aerial shots, so I was curious how that turned out.

Here’s a look at that spot.

Is the new Comm. Building supposed to have Balconies?? I thought I saw some while watching Rix this Morning.

This is very nice. Moving score.
Made for sitting, drinking coffee or wine and just listening to the music. Much needed seating is very appreciated.

I like the new music loop. I'm not sure it fits "new" Epcot (it seems more like traditional Epcot themes). But, it's another nice part of the very successful entry redo.

Sounds like a subtle homage to the Innoventions loop at the start of this.

Thoughts:

Almost acts like the Oasis at DAK, gives you a chance to breathe and settle into the park

Will feel more alive once CommuniCore opens and the outdoor stage comes into use

Definitely missing a small water feature, feels like one could “easily” be added to middle garden if they really wanted.

Generally an improvement over the concrete wasteland from before

 

[ToTBellHop]

Really like what I’m hearing and seeing thus far.

Would it be helpful at Park Open and Close?

The only reason it existed at all is to get people from the north entrance into the park. Now that the center area is open, it's no longer needed.

I'm looking forward to when World Nature becomes a corner, honestly.

Where are the lights in the ground located?
