@marni1971 Any updates on those Seas and Land plans that you were optimistic about?

I’m aftraid not.

I’m aftraid not.

So no "Sea Castle" and "Mesa Verde" rides in the pipeline?

Unless there is a budget to, for example, replace The Land pavilion with something similar to this...

...then it is time for reimagining Future World. IMO.

Speaking of the Land, apparently we'll getting a new palm tree soon-ishly in the ride?

Sad...

With the Q1 reports and the menton of less spending towards the parks....Would this change the FW redesign dramatically now?

What do you mean? Spending that last quarter was up in terms of the parks. Attendance was relatively the same. Guest spending was up due to high prices.

When TDO decides that Epcot should be a theme park again, instead of "Festival Central" things will improve. GoTG and Rat are a start. Space restaurant will help. Hopefully the spine redo will lay the foundation for more attractions and less "drink and drown" events. Then...

1 - SSE major renovation
2 - Imagination Pavilion. See #1
3 - WoL Pavilion...been dead way too long.
4 - New country with a D or E attraction.

Ah, must have read that wrong...No prob..

Doing something with the WoL pavilion would not interfere with the daily park guest visit at all.
Waiting for a new movie to go into The Land pavilion theatre.
Reboot Figment and the imagination pavilion plus put in a new 3D movie (perhaps Figment)

My two cents:

• Wonders of Life: Baymax + Wreck it Ralph
• The Land theater: WallE
• Imagination: Inside Out 3D show + Figment&Dreamfinder trackless ride

Wonders is likely to become a multiple IP pavilion for the younger crowd. Don’t expect any “real” attractions. Expect this to open during the SSE project and way before Imag. Might even see some walls this year.

A new film is also approved for The Harvest Theatre.

Oops wrong thread.

 

[marni1971]

Yesss! So happy to hear The Land is not being ignored. What is up with all these bombshells being revealed the past few days??

I’m a plant who’s job is to spread happy news in an attempt to divert attention from the Guardians Epcot disaster.

You're going to have to dish out some more happy news because that Guardians thread is a real powder keg.

I'll take it. Better then another dead building in FW.

The M&G’s plus some theatre shows. I’m not sure if they will use the three small theatres that’s already there

Also, Food and Wine goes into one of the Innovations building since that’s their big $$$$$$$ maker.
