[THE Monorail Lime]

Insert witty comment regarding irony of destruction of energy substation for the energy pavilion.

An attraction about energy loses IT'S energy

I feel that this thread should be a single post that says, "Still closed."

Not going to lie, it was so frustrating being at Epcot last Tuesday and seeing both Energy and WoL closed right next to each other. That is so much space being wasted right there.

Actually, "never coming back" is more accurate.

Gosh the picture that was shared above just INFURIATED ME. It is such a huge pavilion to have NOTHING going on. Ugh.... FILL THE SPACE! MAKE EPCOT GREAT AGAIN

There's not NOTHING going on, it's a Festival Center for part of the year

Sad news the building with the simulators is gone

I do believe what you saw demolished was some of the back portion of Energy, i've heard it's been demolished but the majority of the maintenance bay is supposedly still intact.

Maintenance bay?

 

[ShoalFox]

Maintenance bay?

Presumably the traveling theater repair building

 

[danlb_2000]

The maintenance bay would be the structure at the top of these pictures.

I think that the permit that was issued for the WoL building that lead everyone to think that they were tearing it down was really just them cleaning out the bays that held the ride vehicles. Nothing else seems to have been touched.

The Wonders building currently will be around for a while yet. The permit was for short term storage additions.

It might even come back into everyday use.

Maybe.

No news. It’s still there and will be for the foreseeable.

More than can be said for the Energy substation and maintainence bay.

So the garage door or any door to the maintenance it would be in the tunnel with the flashing lights.... And if the launch tunnel goes out the side demolition of maintenance bay is in the future.

Is there a possibility that this building will house the Space restaurant we have been promised? It would be cheaper than a new build, and the structure is beautiful...it could easily look like the interior of a satelite colony in outer space...and there would be plenty of room for shopping venues, waiting areas and growth... Though it would be sad to lose a whole pavilion for just a restaurant and shop.....wait, isn't that what the Italy, Germany,Japan and UK pavilions are? hmmmmm

That is not the plan.

No. They’re removing redundant structures.

No. The TSR is south of MS. It will utilise the unfinished second MS Corporate lounge as its lobby.
