News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

They’re likely two separate structural systems. A joint would explain the two small fascia panels. Columns are one thing but that detail is sloppy.

“They’re tourists - whadda they know?”

Here's a look at how columns in CommuniCore Plaza are being finished off - photos from May 4.

The theming on that trash bin is outstanding!

What the heck is that space even for? What is the raised circle for? If it was for performers it doesn't look like the put in of the stage essentials...or will they have to put a temporary stage at the far end? or just very small acts?

Jammitors?

Is it just me or did they overuse the SSE triangles on this project? Current WDI/designers seem to have a real problem with editing. I don't know if it's a case of young/inexperienced creatives (or project managers) and/or design-by-committee. I've noticed this in recent years with many WDW projects, artwork, signage, etc. And it seems to be a real trend. For many years before that -- though -- I'd consider WDW aesthetics practically flawless.

For example -- I'd remove the triangles from the highlighted areas. And if I kept them on the round stage -- I'd probably screen them back on a darker color.

Don't have any images, but are there any plans to hide the back portion of this building? Currently it's unthemed with no foliage (yet?) to hide it. It's just a white wall that faces the Figment building.

The temporary boxes around the bases of the circular light fixtures just outside Connections Cafe have been removed, revealing the new bases. They look fine, however the obvious imperfections and different color where they shaved off the “mounds” really bothers me. That part doesn’t look good at all imo

It’s concrete, they can’t exactly just paint it. What they should have done is cut out the immediate surrounding area and replace it in sections. I would think the intentional cracks all over the ground would make it relatively easy to blend in new sections with the existing ones.

cool!! I plan on telling folks that the strange floating rectangle of triangles is an abstract titled 'The Borg ship that assimilated Heihei'.

Pretty sure they can at least stain and treat it the same way the surrounding concrete is treated in order to better conceal it.

Gotcha. I’m no expert in that field, so that’s good to know.
