I wonder if they will have the same square footage like they did over at the Wonders building when they did the F&W pairings and demonstrations?

I’ve been thinking about the slow progress in CommuniCore Hall and it reminds me of a car wash that is under construction in the city I live in. A developer bought a full-service car wash back in early 2022 and announced that they were going to convert it to one of those automated car washes. They tore out all of the existing car wash machinery and some existing structures on the property. Fast forward to March 2024 and the car wash is still under construction with no signs of opening anytime soon. I drove past it yesterday and wondered which will open first, the car wash or CommuniCore Hall.

Hopefully somebody realized they need more than just Pinar's 1 hour loop playing in the former FW?

This reminds me...
I retired 4 years ago this coming May.
A couple of years before that they announced the construction of a Bass Pro Shops a few miles from my house.
Great! I thought... By the time I retire, that store will be open and it'll be a nice little part time job to keep me busy. (I worked at Herman's World of Sporting Goods in the early 80's.)
They still haven't gone vertical on that construction project.

Love this so much! Hopefully it is still going in August when I’m there; I would love to see (hear) this in person!

I don't know how but they should mix the old and the new music loop for all of Future World. I love both the old one and the new one so much and it's a shame it seems we can only have one and not the other but a mix of both would be sick

I wonder if this is here to stay, also I was not cool with them playing the entrance music at the Imagination Pavilion but now I’m wondering if here going to revert to the old music there to.

I hope so! And then maybe they could do the same for the Seas, and then maybe they will bring back Fun to Be Free for Test Track 3, and maybe then they could tear the entirety of mission space and build horizons back and play the music from that there, and then I would die of happiness.
Seriously though there are four pavilions, three if the land is permanent, where you could add back some original music and make us fans so happy for literally no cost. I really hope they follow through on this.
I SWEAR IGER DO THIS AND I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER UNIVERSAL PARK

not to drag off topic, - but this happened in Ohio also. The merger with Caballa's tied up some of their planned expansion. They finally built the new site here in Cincinnati - so hope springs eternal for you

I was actually going to mention that myself but didn't want to veer too far off topic. I like the old Bass Pro store in Forest Park better but the location off Union-Centre is better.
Hopefully, they can finish off the new buildings and maybe I can experience Epcot with any walls for the first time in what seems a decade.

There’s no reason why they shouldn’t, even if they did decide to add it’s fun to be free to Test Track. It all fits, the seas should totally get it, 2 weeks ago the same music was playing all 4 corners of former Future World, if The Land music is back it wouldn’t surprise me to see at the least The Living Seas and Imagination, music that’s all background and relevant to the attraction. If I’m not mistaken I think the Pyramid fountains or maybe even all Fountains over by imagination are or were in sync with the original music loop.

Shouldn’t they finish the construction at Epcot first before doing a D+ documentary on the transformation of Epcot?
