News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Disstevefan1]

The ones closest to Connections/Creations aren’t fully working, the sides are stuck on a bright white

I didn't even know the pylons were also broken.

I cant keep up with all the failures.

Seeing what they’re doing more closely, it doesn’t look like permanent removal, at least not yet. They wouldn’t just be slapping another plastic cover on top since the durability of that is part of what caused issues in the first place. I think they’d swap out the lighting channel for something more durable if they ultimately get rid of it entirely.

Since the holiday season is currently underway, whatever they plan to do, they are already too late.

At this point, who cares.

This whole area is substandard garbage - in my opinion.

Lighting is hard....

Reconfirmed that the plan is still to have the ground lights working again by the holidays, FWIW

Is that why they haven’t fixed the light towers or the fountain lights in months? Maybe they want to fix everything in one fell swoop?

Truthfully, I have no idea. That sounds like a good guess.

Current target is to have them on for when they start doing the holiday stuff on SSE. So I'm assuming when Festival of the Holidays starts? That's a few weeks away.

In the interest of transparency what I'm told and what I expect are two very different things, I think "by the time the holiday lighting starts" will quickly turn into "before the holiday lighting ends". But that's just my inner cynic, it looks like work is well underway and there's still time to get it done by the end of the month.

Do you think these fixes will include the floor lighting outside of Communicore Hall?

I would assume so

Or fixing Communicore Hall...

I'll be going to EPCOT on the 8th of December. I'll post pictures here if they are/aren't working

Edit: Not sure If I'll be staying till dark but I'll try to post pics b4 I leave

If all the data lines for the lights are corroded they probably have to rip up the concrete to fix. Hard to imagine the bare minimum was screwed up so badly.

I’d hope they ran it through some conduit and can just fish it through without digging anything up.

So can we finally call this Future World a bust yet?? How many years of walls for this cluster$#%#?

I'm struggling to think of any land-sized revamp that could be any more wasteful and anti-climatic than this has been.

Yes, the answer is yes.
