News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[CastAStone]

They completely redesigned just about every building at Hollywood Studios as well with a similar aesthetic. They were all given much more dimensional height and bolder colors.

Please forgive this some what off-topic aside...

I wonder how much that cost.

New facade for Rat building CONFIRMED View attachment 554949

My wife - who follows none of this - out of the blue asked my on the Skyliner on Thursday what they were building in the France pavilion that had that blank in themed blue back wall. It’s such poor show that She assumed it was still under construction.

I wish they’d just plant some trees to at least offer a visual distraction. I know they are ok with backstage views from monorails and skyliners, but some foliage would really help.

also there’s a GR lobby at international gateway, if enough people pop in there and voice displeasure it could bring some changes

It looks like is one of the items put on the budgetary back burner. Along with Tron, Guardians and SSE.

Everything is going towards what can be completed by Oct 1st.

CRATER!!! I love that!

I cant take credit for it. Someone else here used the term and I thought it was incredibly appropriate!

Love the consistency of design and the color coding.

Popcorn...

I know it's just a popcorn kiosk, but it's super cute, and definitely feels more of the future than what the park has been hitting on. Win/Win for me.

Now we just need a green one near The Land and we'll be set!

Interesting, I somehow missed this! i really love the emphasis placed on the iconography, letting guests know what's available at each station. I noticed the popcorn Kiosk has a popcorn bucket where this one has a knife and fork. Visuals are always helpful, especially in a park that markets itself as an international experience. It’s a way of easily including people who may not speak English, or be able to read it.

Seems they're going for another cart/stand theme, similar to how all the carts have been themed like this for the last 10-15 years:

Only this time, its an updated look.

Is Disney planning on buying Legos?

 

[Bocabear]

That was my first thought...Legos... Or shipping containers plunked down at random.
I know...It's a popcorn booth...
lol
I must have missed The Zach's breathless post about the unbelievable design chops and something something Imagineering something Walt Disney.

 

[The Aracuan Bird]

It’s just popcorn. Can we get a good dark ride?

I like it. It fits in without being dated.

 

[Mac Tonight]

I don't know why, but those are giving me some weird Ralph Breaks the Internet vibes. Is that the new Future World aesthetic??
