I find it interesting that they spend money on things like this that look like they don't even need work done to em.... When there are other locations that need it a lot worse.. Lookin' at you, Canada Pavilion.

Much of Canada was recently worked on.

It's nice and all, but could get get some other more important things fixed. I dont know.. Maybe paint the turrets to match the castle. Because we have 3 colors going on with them... Blue, Faded Blue and Purple... LOL

I'm aware. But it was a terrible job.

Ah yes OK fair point.

I'm not going to complain about them doing something though

Just keep the maintenance coming

Uh...whose idea was it to paint it goat-vomit-green?

 

[jagiord1]

Oh... that’s a choice.

 

[cjkeating]

Out of all the things that they could have repainted... they chose this?!

 

[GrandCanyonConcourse]

Looks nice, gives it a natural mossy look

That's a weird choice. I don't think any of the buildings in the town in Beauty and the Beast were green.

Plus, it's not even actually green right now. It still looks vaguely yellow just with some light green staining; I've never seen a building that looks like that in real life. Is that supposed to be the final paint job or are they still applying more coats of green?

 

[Tuvalu]

Yeah, no.

Old was better.

I'm aware. But it was a terrible job.

Literally every time I go to Epcot I stop at GR and express my disappointment with that pavilion.

 

[MansionButler84]

Is this just for St. Patrick’s Day?

Not quite sure what people are on about - the building has always been Green. This photo is from the Soft Opening in 2012:

The green appears to be a little more saturated now than it used to be (though that could be a product of the photo), but it's not a wild departure from the original color scheme.

Same guy that chose the castle turrets chose this, don't know if it is a conscious choice or the guy needs his vision tested. Maybe he has cataracts and he sees though a fog

I wouldn't say natural

I wouldn't say natural

As natural as the bag of shredded cheese that’s been in the back of my fridge since the lockdowns started...
