Closing of Tower of Terror (WDW)

[Kman101]

I truly feel that I am the only person who did not care one whit for Inside Out. I wasn't crazy about Zootopia either; so what do I know?!?

I thought Moana was outstanding, if that redeems my taste in movies at all.

I'm kind of the opposite. I loved Inside Out and Zootopia.

That makes two of us.

But I did like Cranium Command.

But it will be a very different park to today's and yesterday's.

I can't get my head around it, I promise I will try though.
I know others have asked, but will there be any thought or move back to the 1982 opening concept? I sort of feel like, in the mind of Disney leadership, Epcot is moving towards an IoA park. The roller coaster inside SSE feels like it is closer then ever!

Personally I'd say no closer to the 1982 concept.

I am pretty close to abandoning all hope for Epcot's future.

A no to the park being closer to the 1982 concept? Or no to it being more of an IoA park?

A no to 82. A Disney themed IOA could be a pretty good anology.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter: The Burrows confirmed for Epcot.

Wow yikes. I would've hoped DHS would be a closer comparison...

I don't think I will be visiting again. It will be too depressing. I hope the folks at WDI are aware that this could potentially destroy me, Not that they care.

@marni1971 So the big question: will the term "edutainment" be associated with this park any more? I'm very confused with all the mixed signals this park is giving off haha

It might be edu-tainment but it sounds very watered down Edu-tainment. Maybe Betsy Devos level Edu-tainment.

So there is still the potential that people get fed up with superheroes for the moment (specially at the rate Marvel/DC is throwing them)

Possibly, though Marvel (and DC, too, if they wanted too) have enough non-superhero IPs that they could continue making movies when the superhero bubble bursts.

Future World is ubiquitous these days. There is no way it can be properly displayed/demonstrated in such a finite space even If you could find enough willing sponsors. Not sure they can.

I would recommend KSC and the new Miami Museum of Science to get your fix.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Although Future World has needed TLC for quite a few years, it does seem like Disney management is finally getting around to doing something about it. I haven't a clue how this will all end up, but I don't think they'll completely discard edu-tainment for either their long-term core fans, or newer fans,

It may not be the same EPCOT of the 80s and 90s, but don't completely write it off just yet.

I'd like to see them create a new attraction about the science of robotics--there are so many different applications they could present. Robotics could be a fascinating, learning experience, that I think would appeal to all ages. (The Disney animatronics aspect could also be a fun tie-in here.) There seems to be space available in the old WOL paviliion that they could utilize . . .

I agree, lets see what ideas and concepts the imagineers have. A lot of people wrote off Pandora, but now the majority of people are very impressed.

They should bulldoze Tower of Terror and RNRC to make way for more Star Wars Land.

I seem to be inbetween you two. I did not like INSIDE OUT so much, but loved both Zootopia and Moana. XD

Sir, May I recommend you to go to church to atone for your sins?
As you have said a blasphemy!

It took me a bit to get into Inside Out, I think it's a *tad* overrated but it's a good movie. I'd actually rank Zootopia above it.
