News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[maxairmike]

The thing is as of tonight every single section is at the very least lighting up, again save for some incorrect colors on a few. There’s not much reason to be using the mode still

I noticed that as well a few nights ago. I'm hopeful that they'll be on top of this with the vendor/manufacturer to polish this up. Definitely not great that they're doing this after it all opened up, but from what I've seen they seem to be really trying to get this figured out. Since all sections can light up, that's possibly a good indication the problem is on the software/controller side and not with the light fixtures themselves, which is my biggest concern.

I would love to know why Disney still insists on keeping the west construction bypass open when all main pathways have been open for almost a month now.

Maybe it is still open because part of the main walkway by CommuniCore Hall/Plaza is still behind construction walls?

I'm of the opinion that more bypasses is more better.

Let's get the Eastern bypass back open!

I'm with @tparris. Traffic flow is no longer a problem. It's time to close the bypass and restore the surrounding backstage areas so that we no longer have to look at mud and the water treatment facility when we pass by on the monorail.

Here's a 4K video taken today of areas still under construction.

The updated timeline: 2024.

The Sacred Timeline

The following is a timeline of stuff for which we have a specific date, or our legit insiders have indicated. All the other stuff for which have no time frame at all, such as projects indefinitely on hold (e.g. Stitch's replacement, Mary Poppin attraction) are, by definition, indefinite and...

By the way they are going....Mid summer at the latest..Not sure a real reason they are going at such snails pace..By the time they finish that Epcot will be needing another retheme once it's ready..

So I took a few weeks off the board over the holidays and not sure if I overlooked it or there haven't been any new updates...but have the epcot logo rings been repaired or started working again?

The bypass has reportedly now closed permanently.

And that report was wrong! @tparris says it is still open.

I’m at the park right now, it’s still open.

The EPCOT guide map certainly indicates that.

If your info is from the "Worldwide Leader", it's probably wrong

New benches have been added outside of Connections Cafe along the wall separating it from Guest Relations.

I think Bioreconstruct suggested those were just moved from the central area between Connections and Creations because of the marathon.

Hey, Disney, don't start blocking the shortcut door!

(It's the quickest path from hub/maingate to GotG:CR.)

Or... open up the Eastern bypass again!!
