EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

I agree. I dislike that such a vivid musical identity has been stripped away over the years. It’s in the rides too! Even in the classics that remain, Tomorrow’s child and Listen to the Land have not played for YEARS now. Yeah, we do still have “Golden Dream” and “One Little Spark”, but we all know about figment at this point. (Tho American Adventure is very underrated imo). We all have hope for “it’s fun to be free” but I think the other classic Epcot rides should get their songs back. Put the music back into Spaceship Earth and The Land! That’d be a good step towards rebuilding Epcot.
At least they still make new, original area music here. I like Mission: Space’s music a great deal and enjoyed TT2.0’s.

Yeah. Even the topek loop, with how repetitive it can be, is beautiful music wise to me. It seems to me that even when they actively or unintentionally try to, they can’t fully make Epcot bad or get rid of that identity, even if it is a shell. Though they were sure close with some parts of the original redo. Honestly, I think the COVID cancellations could’ve been a long term blessing in disguise for Epcot. I think still now, there are people in WDI who know what Epcot is and should be that are held back by executives in some form. Maybe not everyone but SOME. I hope test track will be a step in the right direction in the future with SSE, Figment, and beyond.

I really like the new loop. I was saying that last night. Tying it into Luminous is absolutely wonderful for me. Very well done. But, it is too broadly used. I wish Nature and Discovery had their own loops. They can have references to the main loop, but it is a little too much across everything.

With that, we walked out of SSE to have We Go On playing on SSE. I didn't realize they were still using that loop, and it legit got me. Getting to hear the I:ROE finale back in Epcot was pretty awesome. (As was the ARTS OG Imagination show.)

There's no question for me--the melody she made is beautiful and I do love the use of different musical styles to represent pavilions within the park. Just wish they had some of those pavilion themes also integrated. Kind of like how they integrate her melody into Disney songs during Luminous. It brings a really beautiful musical consistency to the park in a way we don't see in the other parks.

Given the park's unique musical history, I wish they would work to integrate the past with new music a bit better. Kind of like how the Tomorrowland loop integrates music from long-gone attractions. Nothing like hearing "Miracles from Molecules" while riding the PeopleMover!

It annoys me that a park with such a rich musical heritage got a background loop that’s just the same melody over and over and over again. It wouldn’t upset me as much if it were confined to the CommuniCore area, but they’ve gone out of their way to replace the unique area loops for the entrance plaza and Imagination (& previously The Land) too. Replace the Innoventions loop, sure, but taking out other loops for areas that still exist is extremely excessive.

Especially since they went through the effort of making 3 "different" neighborhoods, you'd think they would make 3 different loops.

Being a theme park music nerd is fun but exhausting.

Nemo, Journey of Water, Test Track, and Mission: SPACE's loops aren't evident until you get very close to the attractions.

Guardians and (finally) The Land have loops you can hear well outside the areas.

Figment's loop is a tragic tale.

I think Pinar's loop is good -- and I like that it appears in Luminous. World Disco and Nature should have at least gotten variations on the main theme with different instrumentations and styles.

There actually are different versions that play, but not by neighborhood because…reasons.

Those two YT videos are the neither the current interstitial BGM between the evening shows. Both of those videos hammer hard the main themes. The new interstitial BGM has a light, soothing touch.
The Pinar Toprak BGM has several variations that play in different sections of the park. The BGM has not changed at all since World Celebration opened in 2023.

This reminds me of when they used We've Just Begun To Dream ag opening gate and when they used it again as the closing score for Illuminations 25..

when was the new interstitial bgm added? I went last Saturday but didn't notice anything different. Though that could be because the encanto show music was blasting in my ear most of the time.
