News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[monothingie]

The facade is being refurbished. Something is probably temporarily disconnected.

It worked for EF!

Peter has decreed his opinion as fact. Do not question his undisputed knowledge!

I never stated an opinion. I stated a fact.

That you still want to find equivalency between these two items shows your lack of knowledge.

 

[monothingie]

You realize Canada is entirely surrounded by scaffolding while the facade and roof are being fully refurbished and repainted right?

You do realize it was working properly when Epcot Forever was being run right?

Not every night…

Disney has an undisputed and proven record of shutting down effects that are costly to maintain or unreliable in use. Most recently they did that in the queue of the new TRON attraction. Most famously they did that with the Yeti. You seem to ignore this and just say they won’t do any of that, take my word for it.

Sorry but no.

Not every night…

So only Tuesdays and Thursdays it didn’t work? Come on man do better than that.

Sorry but no.

It hasn’t even been one week. Jumping to speculation about shutting them down at this point is absurd.

That is not what is happening with the tron queue.

The yeti being turned off was not because of it being costly to maintain or unreliable. Again… false equivalency.

You watch EPCOT forever 5 days a week?

I can’t speak for what specific days of the week it was. But there have definitely been days it hasn’t lit during Epcot Forever.

Living With the Land : Glimmering Greenhouses... 45 min wait.

Can’t fault NPH for that yesterday afternoon. Maybe yesterday morning but…

It was poorly designed and not durable for guest use. Repairing it was not feasible without causing disruption so it was covered over.

Sorry, it was not designed properly and costly and disruptive to repair, so they shut it off.

Which days? You’re the one saying that it didn’t work all the time, tell me which ones, otherwise you’re just peddling garbage.

Operations people appear to be documenting it.

I literally just said “I can’t speak for what specific days”, sorry I don’t keep track of the date of every failure I observe.

I never said it didn’t work “all the time”

Wait, lights aren’t the same as giant robots?

Unless they’re strobe lights.

I don’t think we can presently conclude they’ll throw in the towel on the lighting. If I didn’t know better, I’d think some here want this to fail for some reason.

No comment on that but...... I don't understand why we can have a perfect Opening Night and then, the Lighting Problems start???

 

[aladdin2007]

At least Canada is half lit, Norway still doesn't have lights at all never did of course. I know it stems from years ago with sponsorship details but by now would be kind of nice if Disney added them. Maybe they can't for some technical reason? I know I know, cost. But for the pavilions grand size it would look incredible.

There were lighting problems on opening night.

Keep in mind Canada is still under refurbishment and is covered in scaffolding. It was under refurbishment for the whole testing period of the show so they might not have had the chance to properly program and test the pavilion lights. Another possibility is that portions of the lights are being removed temporarily so they can paint/refurbish the exterior.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Bad show. (Which may have been important at one time, but clearly isn’t anymore.)

Test the stuff before you go live. Don’t release and promote a product that is not ready or looks great but isn’t durable and breaks after 2 days of daily use.

Mr. D'Amaro, put back this wall.
