Does anyone know what this corner is supposed to be and why it is currently blasting generic pop music? It's sandwiched between CommuniCore and Journey of Water.

They ..."could" play the innoventions loop there...Then anyone could join in and vibe along..I'm all for that..

 

[HMF]

I'm kind of lost...Exactly where does this play??

It's the main theme . Most obvious place is 180 top.

I don't even think Bruce Broughton acknowledges this..


Still I just can't hear it in the 180 dome segment...If you can find that comparison..That'd be great!

Behold! In-ground lighting that works! (Ignore the broken fountain lighting directly behind it.)

I've heard Lockheed isn't exactly happy with the idea of fireworks often, and their opinions seem to take precedent, even if Lockheed doesn't generate quite as much money in Orlando or the wider state as UO does (though if you consider only Epic vs its neighboring plant, it's not even close and Lockheed generates a few times them in expected economic contribution). Some have claimed they need to approve every time there's fireworks, but unfortunately there's no real source I can find about that!

Is it the nighttime sentries who are afraid of fireworks like dogs are?

It may have something to do with issues if a firework goes off and lands on or causes issues with... whatever they're making over there besides F-35s - last time I checked some sorts of missiles. So that makes sense.

1. EU should have checked with LM before building their fireworks launch site where it is.

2. The nearest LM building is over 5 football fields away. So... <shrug>

3. EU could make their expansion pad between Berk and Potter their new launch site. (And I believe they did have some fireworks launched from that site already.

It just seems strange they didn't work anything out from the beginning. The fountain show is nice, but it's no Bellagio.

I noticed this the other day, it’s left over from the cool kids summer activity they were hosting here. They’ve either forgot or they’re having trouble getting it switched back to the regular BGM

Here’s me at work in a mandatory faculty meeting complaining, once again, about Epcot lights. It’s that bad (the presentation about making thinking visible AND the broken lights).

Kind of sad there’s literally nothing in the Communicore Hall for this festival. For such a hyped up “flex space” they sure don’t do much with it half the time.

It's kind of like how my bedroom is a "flex space" but usually just features me, alone with my cat, staring at the ceiling.

 

[KDM31091]

They did claim they’d make it special and wonderful during festivals and I guess that was a lie lol.

Communicore Hall was basically a last minute band-aid after they realized that tearing down Communicore West for a building that would never see the light of day was a HUGE mistake.

I was trying to think of a fix for Communicore hall. And my idea was what if they move the EPCOT model (currently in the people mover) into the building. Making it kinda a mini museum/display about the history of EPCOT. That way you have time to see the model and gives a reason to go into the building. Plus they cold put any future models in there for whatever comes to EPCOT in the future

Sadly it is all about the "Flex" space and the ability to rent the space for functions if necessary.... So a museum or anything else will only be a temporary fix....

Is this space routinely rented out?

I believe they do so for children's birthday parties. You can pay extra to have Darby O'Gill show up for a M&G.
