News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[P_Radden]

Another revelation from that concept art is that the original Fountain of Nations will be demo'd but the new one does look Bellaigo ish..

It kind of reminds me of the Westcot concept art.

Combined with the Discoveryland concept...

What's that hedge maze between Land and Imagination?

Don't forget - Chapek said this was a blue sky drawing. It can and will change.

Are any of those circular blobs (or the purple thingy in front of Mission Space) possible rides?

Otherwise it looks like they are replacing former attraction space with trees and sidewalks.

I know but still

I know but still

No I agree - regardless it's exciting!

I see a complete lack of CommuniCore and a whole bunch of mysterious new things that were not discussed at D23. That glowy thing in the foreground.... a fountain?

I'm guessing the new things are all stores/restaurants. With Communicore going away, they need space for MouseGear, the new Starbucks, and the QS space from Electric Umbrella.

So perhaps the glowy dome thing in foreground is a stage surrounded by fountains?

 

[IMDREW]

I love the new look!

I have a feeling that the finished product will be DRASTICALLY different than this blue sky, pseudo concept art.

my head is spinning from all these announcements, some interesting but several makes me want to hurl.
this one is interesting it just seems like everything is going to be a giant construction zone for a long time.

What is interesting to me is that a lot of these announcements seem like starting points rather than ending points. I guess when they say the parks will never be complete they meant it.

Wow!

Thinking even more on this. I know this is only concept art, but having the Communicore buildings gone seems like that is something really set in stone. So I'm hoping for new, good, original area music that doesn't include generic action movie credits violins constantly ramping up in volume (you HAVE to know what I mean).You really can't have the Innoventions music playing when there really isn't any Innoventions left.

Even though one of the pathways moved, it looks like everyones favorite bathrooms will be staying. And no more ugly cover in front of TT? There is a lot of green space.

Woah wait a second, the Project Tomorrow area for SSE is gone? That seems a bit drastic. Someone must be taking full advantage of the term *concept*.

 

[Clamman73]

At least we're getting some type of futuristic donut shop.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

I know it's blue sky but very interesting that WOL is still there. Very interestead in the plans for that space

 

[larryz]

It's planned to remain. In one version anyway. Under a new name.

Club Beverly?

That concept art is beautiful! I'm welcome to the changes, but I also hope it won't feel like a waste of space. I also love MouseGear. This concept makes it seem like it will be relocated, perhaps to an even smaller location. I most excited by the fountains. In any case, even if those fountains are not in the natural bodies of water closer to World Showcase, we do need to update our Fountain of Nations. It is also surprising to see Starbucks especially gone. The swimming pool area looks odd through. I can't imagine what that is.
