Rumor Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

[Haymarket2008]

"Brazil" wouldn’t be putting up the money. A private sponsorship would.

Don’t get your hopes up for Imagination. Nothing is decided yet and there’s several options. Any of which would not be ready for seven years.

Why seven years??

I would enjoy whatever you like

So where would you like to have this debate?
Also, what are we debating?

If it's anything like we're used to hearing: Budgets n' Stuff
Which could also be the name of a Deadmau5 album too.

Also, all of us should remember this thread is about Brazil.

Any photos of those topiaries.

They were in Epcot for F&G. I guess they were moved from Coronado.

Finally get to use the ignore feature!

I’ll call you on a pay phone...so the pretense is dropped...

“Hi, Clark Kent...this is Bruce Wayne...”

Seven years has been disney corporate code for “something we want the pub for...but have no intention to actually build”

It seems 3 or 4 years is the sweet spot now.

Was on Figment a couple of weeks ago. It's hands down the most disappointing attraction on the property. The entire pavillion really. So much potential... Oh, what once was...

Right up there with the most embarrassing moves in WDW history. Letting it lag for 17 years in decay.

Closing of wonders of life without replacement is right up there...but imagination was Epcot sabotage.

Why seven years??

Just a guess, but thinking Martin may have meant “several”. “Seven” seemed strange to me as well. We never get something that specific, unless maybe when we’re down to days, hours, or minutes!

Because that’s the currently projected timeframe. Imag is currently at the back of the queue. It could be partial demo, complete demo (more unlikely now), a C ticket, a D ticket, an E ticket. Many options are bouncing around and unless it bumps the queue they’ve plenty of time to decide on one.

I’ll try not to get my hopes up, but it’s hard. The original Imagination was one of my all time favorite attractions ever. An instant classic.

Imagination should at minimum be a D ticket, if not an E. Figment is the mascot of the park, after all.. Surprised with how much they push him for merch / in the festivals / etc that they don't see the value in doing more with him.

With all due respect...and you do have it...doesn’t that sound like the Disney version of “officially absolutely nothing” to you?

Sooo is Brazil for sure coming? Or has that been shelved??

Considering it’s never been "official" yet it doesn’t surprise me. Epcot’s scheduling has been very similar to AdLib of several years ago but on a larger scale.

I’ve not heard no. Which isn’t a definite of course.

Seems like it! Nothing official yet, though.

I'll probably kick myself for not knowing this, but what is AdLib?
