Round the corners of the CommuniCore building and I'll shut up

The styling of the Moana section compared to everything else really shows how much it is from a different plan compared to what we’re getting. That said, I’m also pleasantly surprised with how… sealed off it appears to be from the hub of the park.

Sure, but isn’t this the side that chronically smelled like sewage? Hopefully all this work will fix that…If the northwest side of Communicore West was razed first, for Journey of Water, then I wonder if the southwest side would have remained intact.

Is the communicore area being built as part of this current construction?
How many years will it take to complete this?
Is there one time line if RCID continues to exist and a different time line if RCID is successfully dissolved?

So, Epcot Character Spot is back in it's original place I see....Also, after noticing the JoW attraction....I'm Still worried of the fate of the original leaper's and would they shut them off..

Feel like the non-Journey of Water stuff can be thrown up relatively quickly. Mostly concrete work and landscaping outside of the new Communicore building. Are they aiming to open the rest of World Celebration at the same time as Journey of Water?

Okay so has anyone noticed that the Harmonious barges are absent in the new concept art?

Interesting right?
ETA: Are the tacos still there? Stargate is clearly missing.

Those aren't the tacos. They look like the small gated barges used in EPCOT Forever and Illuminations.

As much as I'd like to believe they were scrapping the stargate and tacos, I doubt it. I can't see them throwing those out given how much $$$ they invested in them....

You know, if they wanted to get everyone to not just shrug in acceptance of this but to actively applaud the new direction of Epcot, they would announce that they are also introducing the ability to transport the tacos and Stargate in and out of the lagoon each evening!

Neither would I, however the barges *WERE* in all previous EPCOT overhaul concept art. Weird. I think they realize they'll end up spending more to market the hell out of this thing.

Honestly I think this looks significantly better than the previous plan. Not good but better. But I would’ve loved to have seen the original plan come to fruition just to have seen whether the idea worked better in person than on paper. This one is definitely a step back in terms of how much of a change it is.
It’s probably just because they’re ugly utility structures. The Cosmic Rewind show building hasn’t been in any art either.

In fairness, they weren't present in the original art either:
Compared to today's new Art:

At this point the tacos and Stargate don't even bother me anymore. I've just become complacent in the fact that the rest of the park will look like crap so might as well go all out and leave them there.

That's a good point...
It's possible that transporting the barges and stargate was also an original possibility.
The daytime fountains might have been what they needed to justify it's permanent mounting, but that didn't work out as planned either.
Maybe @marni1971 could shed some light...
