News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

Hate to be the Zach, but there’s yet-to-be-activated floor lighting on path from hub to Land that’s partially under construction walls.

 

[SaucyBoy]

They’re going to tell their grandkids that they were once in a theme park and took a photo with a statue?

Wow.

Some of y'all get such sadistic joy out of 'ing on other people's joy. I'm sure there are things you get a kick out of that most of us would stand and laugh at; but we don't because we have class.

Hate to be the Zach

As long as you don't write a 30 paragraph confessional about that specific shade of grey, the feelings it's meant to invoke, and how a chance encounter with a similarly colored sidewalk in your youth inspired you to select this color, I think you'll be fine.

I'm guessing Epcot's waiting till those walls are gone?

Will Comm. Synce with SSE in anyway?

Classy, indeed.

They should have put him at the center of his own, high-capacity attraction... a Waltnimover? A Carousel of Waltness? Or something like Fairytale Hall, where you go off into different rooms with duplicated Walt statues, or even a M&G character with a huge sculpted head like the Bowler Hat guy?

Or just have him walking around the park, getting everyone with a "how do you do?"

 

[TheMaxRebo]

By this time next year AI will be able to provide an absolutely realistic video of a wrestling match between me and Walt. And that is what I will show to my grand-replicants.

My money's on th penguin - Walt has poor stamina, just gotta outlast him

 

[Horizonsfan]

Can anyone confirm if the Epcot 40th show is still in the nightly rotation?

 

[Squishy]

You think they'll mind if I sneak in 3rd shift and replace the flowers in the center flowerpot with a bunch of fountains off wish?

 

[James Alucobond]

Can anyone confirm if the Epcot 40th show is still in the nightly rotation?

Don't think so. It's EPCOT Anthem, Wish, 100th Wish Upon A Star, and Frozen Holiday in the rotation right now. Unless the EPCOT Anthem is that? I forget what's what.

It’s been gone for a while now

 

[Epcot81Fan]

Apologize if this has already been answered - why is Walt not centered?

As I watch the videos, nearly everybody (as human behavior would obviously dictate) sit on both sides of him and the picture is not centered in the space.

It was there in October. Guess it must have disappeared with the conclusion of F&W.

That's a shame, I was hoping to see that one from the new hub.

I'm wanting to see Rainbow Connection from there. Definitely my favorite of the shows since it's pretty restrained until the end, so I hope they bring it back during Arts.

I would think so that when a family sat next to him, he and the whole group would be centered.

 

[networkpro]

Isn't the entrance cycling through several sets of music? And we saw yesterday the pictures of the red and white candy canes I wonder if that was a Christmas set?

They were cycling through a new lighting set last night, red/orange chasing worms, golden shimmer waves...

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

I love this! It looks awesome!

But guess what...it would look EVEN BETTER with a fountain!

 

[networkpro]

I’m genuinely baffled by this. Why would anyone wait an hour plus to get a picture to get a picture with a permanent statue? Is it for social media? Brand loyalty and consumerism? Is these a dark look at the human condition?

Is there a term we use here for fans like this? I feel like these situations come often with merchandise releases like the Figment bucket, but this one is more confusing to me because the merch at least goes out of stock, that statue is going to be there for a while. Not to put anyone down, do what makes you happy, but I genuinely don’t understand what the appeal is here to warrant this wait from, presumably, locals.

You pick squatting with Walt or Squatty Potty.

Exciting day to be an Epcotian!

Most just call us alcoholics...
