News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[aladdin2007]

THEZach would like a word. After all, he was the "single accountable WDI leader for the EPCOT project, including master planning, story and concept, detailed design, and delivery/construction elements".

yeah... well.........lol...not much good to say about any of the above from beginning of project to end.

What's more fitting than random boxy buildings dropped in the middle of a garden setting? Oh wait...

One word...Balzac's...

You can never forget a time in the mid 00's when you saw these kiosks Everywhere and no one ever bought them..

 

[MisterPenguin]

At least these kiosks were put in a place made for them. Unlike the ones blocking pathways (looking at you World Showcase).

This overhaul center looks identical to my community College I use to go to and yet my college was built over what was once an army navy base airport airfield..

I agree. Bring back the corporate park of the original Hub!!

Yes, please do! It was beautiful!

The current one is pretty good (and a million times better than the disastrous 90s era concrete plaza) but not as good as the original.

Probably because it would be the most awkward word of mouth marketing anyone could possibly conceive lol.

Never knew that was the name. Clearly not ran past a Scottish / British audience either

Looks like they're restoring the planter at the entrance to the bridge to World Showcase where they had made temporary curb cuts and pathing when the walls further constricted the area. I guess they're getting it back into normal shape for F&G.

Yeah the commercial in the 90's was as weird...

 

[IMDREW]

Will they be selling watches, perfume or nails in these?

Probably the same stuff that's being sold several feet down by the bridge....Unless, they decided they make it their new take on Pin Central.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

That's neat! The lighting package on SSE is perfect, I much prefer over the Vegas Sphere..they can each have their own identities... I had no idea they planned a lighting package for right after the wand... it's kind of sad anyone lifetime earlier who never got a chance to see this!

That’s interesting, they would have hard that and the Fountain that would be one heck of a show.

 

[James Alucobond]

Looks like half of the area by the rose walk will soon reopen with a new booth.

Not a surprise considering Epcot is just a year round festival cash cow but something new would have been nice

WHOAH! I literally never thought of both the fountain of nations show along with SE Beacons of Light THAT!* now it's making me even more sad. Thanks for bringing that up!

There will be new (higher) pricing... isn't that enough for you?

Is there still the rumor out there of curiosity as to why this year the Flower and Garden festival will end sooner than last year and the year before.. some peeps are speculating a new festival.?

Some are speculating now that Epcot will be Festival-less this summer.
