News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[SaucyBoy]

I've been visiting WDW frequently since 2006 and I honestly have no idea where this picture was taken in Epcot. Where it is, which way it faces, etc.

Here is an aerial from Bio (not sure the date) that shows the location.

Just checking, we waited five years for the construction of this?

Ah yes. Post a photo of an active construction zone to try and make a point

The grift goes on, the grift goes on
Drums keep pounding nonsense to the brain
La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da

they essentially cordoned off the entire central core....so even though the park was open, they were pretty free to do what they needed to do...they were not delicately working around throngs of people in the area...

True, and like I said - it still took too long.
Demolition and a rebuild however is often lengthy.

Your facing towards the Innoventions/Future World West of Epcot as Imagination is in the background..

You have to understand...
There are a handful of people for any build who have decided they hate something and will nitpick something to hate all along the way.
When proven wrong, because that "thing" actually winds up looking beautiful and better than its predecessor - they will then move on to the next thing to pick on.
And it's different than mere critique.
I have or had my share of issues with Tiana's for instance, but I adjust with new information.
I didn't decide that I hated it because I didn't want Splash replaced (and I didn't want it replaced) and then went on to claim everything about it is terrible.

Then just block them if it bothers you. Someone’s allowed to hate everything about a project if they want to. They only complain about things because they’re fans of it to begin with.

You can block the people if you don't want to see the response to this unbridled hate. Take your own darned medicine.

Oh, your post about it not centered on SSE fell flat, and so you're taking another bite of the hate apple. Cool.

I don’t get enraged by the opinions of others. Just annoys me when I see your and others fury over someone expressing their opinion on a discussion board.

Calm down

Great point!

Universal is so lucky that Covid never happened a couple miles up the I4 so they could build this over the same timeframe:

But hey, Disney created a horrible guest experience for five years in the entire center of the park to bring us this impressive, majestic stage, because um, Covid, or something.

As pointed out below, building in fresh area without consumer interaction concern is an entirely different timeline. Did Disney drag this out, yes. No one denies that. As for the quality, I am also amazed at how many here throw stones before things are done, and then later seem to realize it isn't as bad as they thought. Why not wait til its totally open and being used before assuming your opinion is valid?

Um...because I can clearly see in the picture the exact scale, placement, and design of the stage and its cover?

If it looks fundamentally different than this when it opens, I will be the first one to come back into this thread and apologize.

 

[pigglewiggle]

Well, I think it looks great.

same. Much better than the old communicore imo

 

[DCBaker]

There seem to be screens on inside here, but oddly enough they appear to have the Connections Eatery logo on them. New QSR location?

Here's another look at this location.

For some reason this reminds me of a gas station 7 eleven:

Mixology bar?

 

[HauntedPirate]

If anyone was worried, this will fit right in with the other malfunctioning LED lights. (Hopefully this was fixed already, the pic was from 6 weeks ago)

Mixology bar?

Small kitchen window, soda machine, what may be a frozen drink machine. Not the makings of a bar. Yeah, there's a couple of taps but that's not a bar.

The exterior of “CommuniCore Hall” looks like Spaceship Earth with a terrible skin disease. I find it viscerally repellent. I can’t think of a design choice at a Disney park I’ve ever disliked nearly as much.

Haha, I don't dislike it nearly as much, but this is actually a pretty apt description. I have a feeling it will become outdated more quickly than some of the other elements of the redo as well, unfortunately.
