I could care less of the floor lights, if no fountain then why not rip out the concrete all together and just have a green grass floor Keep the lit up Pillars. My issue with the area is there's too much concrete, and rust. The thing I was most excited that never came from concept art was all the special descending, and climbing paths that would wind through the area whether the color is non realistic.
That thing would been such an eyesore, the shape is as much as a planter. The only thing that would help is all the those private event population would want to take spot there and give us back the UK area and Italy area for normal guests firework viewing. On the other hand that building would been such a showoff with influences and event payers!
I think I'm more tired of the concrete and rust. It's not the lighting package. I really love the area at night too! It's the day time that is so college campus in Boston that is not deserving for paying guests.
some here say the water wouldn't blend with the music and such but I can't help it would've enriched the atmosphere of a park setting. They really made a mistake getting rid of it. Epics fountain is great but it feels Bellagio because it sits on a Lagoon of water whereas FOF was the Spirit of Epcot!
I'm not picturing a "gurgling fountain," but a successor to the Fountain of Nations. Heck, put it in the exact spot where the Fountain of Nations was. It's an embarrassing downgrade right now.
Someone would have to go collect the water again…
Oooooh, I volunteer!
FoN requires a large amount of power, pumps and hardware. There isn't space for any of it.
It would be very hard now that the area has finished construction. A fountain like that requires a lot of behind the scenes infrastructure. Which is most likely why they got rid of it because a planter is a lot easier and cheaper to maintain. The idea of a fountain coming back is just not going to happen until they renovate the entire area again and decide to re-pipe water lines under the ground.
I don't remember a water plant for FoN like this monstrosity that is taking space ON STAGE!FoN requires a large amount of power, pumps and hardware. There isn't space for any of it.
As an example, this is the hardware needed for Moana.
Steve, wasn't the pump infrastructure for the fountain of Nations located in the basement of communicore West? I seem to recall a diagram of the basement posted at the beginning of this project and there was a section called pump room. If so, why can't it be reverted back. The basement is still there. They just built the annoying DJ area on top of it.FoN requires a large amount of power, pumps and hardware. There isn't space for any of it.

Excellent point! I hate that DJ area BTW!!
This isn’t quite the same as Journey of Water is larger and has to use treated water as if it was a swimming pool.FoN requires a large amount of power, pumps and hardware. There isn't space for any of it.
As an example, this is the hardware needed for Moana.
As did FoN. It was treated water using bromine.
I remember seeing the steps down to it years ago.... No reason this could not be done again....
