How long does the current hub last till they dig it up again? Place your bets now!

The fiber optics never looked like cake sprinkles.

Has it already been brought up that SSE has lost the two trees that flanked the front of it?

Perhaps they will return to using palm trees in those locations.

Those had been needing to go for a while. The symmetry had been lost due to damage or disease in the other trees.

I wish they would, but I'm sure the flag poles were their idea of a cheaper option.

I wonder if they stuck these in just as another jab at WDW, LOL

Is it weird I like no trees better?
James Alucobond

No, not weird at all considering the state it was in. The ones that were there had become really scraggly and were not positioned well since their opposite partner trees had been removed. But it would definitely be nice to have something with a bit of height added back to the landscaping.

I don't think they'll dig it up at all, which for me is the real problem.
Too much money and too much work on their part.
I believe they will take the cheapest way out as possible.
Maybe turn the ground lighting off, replace the covers with opaque covers, and call it a day.
What they ought to do is demo the whole thing and put a fountain in.

“Just paint the former light strips a Day-Glo Orange, put some black light fixtures up on the poles surrounding the center, and call it a day.
Problem solved!
Hey, they will still ‘light up’ and ‘glow’ and won’t require any work or maintenance whatsoever! “

There must be some sort of tree project going on at Epcot, I also noticed tree replacement happening in Japan, Morocco, France, UK and Canada. Would be nice to have the palm trees back here. Also over the years several palm trees have vanished in the world showcase plaza, not sure if that was done on purpose for firework viewing or not, but it’s very noticeable if you ever see old pictures/video

Maybe put a strobe light on it.

I kinda like this change, the old trees were overgrown and asymmetrical. If they could add some palm trees like they did back in the day that would be nice...
the current entrance still looks miles better than leave a legacy.

At this point, I’ve gone from “why can’t maintenance fix this” to “good for them”. Obviously, if a park maintenance team keeps fixing it and it keeps breaking, I’ve got applaud their commitment to do as much as they can under their circumstances. This is not giving WDI/Disney parks/experiences/ground light boogaloo a pass, but there’s a group of people that has committed enough to try to keep fixing as much as they can, and have to say I appreciate it.

At least it seems like the new installation is more easily repaired than the original one, I guess?

Are the colors changing or is it stuck on green?

It's supposed to be green at that point in the show, so probably functioning.
