It's... not bad, actually. I'd still prefer to hear "Papillon" and the rest of the Innoventions loop, but...That is such a perfect Epcot background loop track.

I know that there is a technical difference, but the reality is that while Spaceship Earth was futuristic, the Communicore buildings were modern. Pleasing, yes, but are they not dissimilar to airport terminal buildings from the same era? IE: Dulles (considered to be the most modern airport in the world when constructed, designed by a man who was considered a “neo-future modernist” — Saarinen)"Modern" and "Futuristic" are not interchangeable terms.
Similar to how people often use the words "Modern" and "Contemporary" interchangably, though they too refer to distinct and different styles and time periods. "Futuristic" implies a further distant future than Contemporary reaches for, and Modern lags behind both, representing the mid-to-later 20th Century - ending right about the time that EPCOT Center opened.
Half of the intention of EPCOT Center was to jump forward from that design ethos - to leave Modern behind and leapfrog Contemporary for something yet unseen.
The reason people confuse these with regards to Future World is because so much design took note of EPCOT Center's architectural notions - in defying Contemporary it became an influential basis by which the term was redefined. That so many designers attempted to copy it with their Contemporary works does not make Future World a Contemporary work itself. And it certainly was never Modern.
As someone mentioned previously in this post this is part of the Creations shop Loop..I'm not sure if they are playing this in the former outside sections of the innoventions plaza area..But, I do hope there is plans for a better loop for the neighborhoods down the pipeline rather than these youtube Study mix loops..There's a great track that plays as part of the Connections Eatery background loop. Have a listen
As someone who used to unironically listen to the Innovations music while studying, I feel conflicted reading this.But, I do hope there is plans for a better loop for the neighborhoods down the pipeline rather than these youtube Study mix loops..
Oh I have it at the ready when I need a good pick me up...But, honestly the loop really feels like they just grabbed one like a blind bag and said here's the new loop for Creations..Like this for example..As someone who used to unironically listen to the Innovations music while studying, I feel conflicted reading this.
I don’t even know what your talking about the 64/65, but as far as I know many or all of the pavilions were or still are owned by a third party corporation. Japan is the only one I know of that still is, as for the rest I have no idea. I’m my opinion Japan between the staffing and landscapes is the best one. Norway is now run by Disney isn’t it? Disney just took over Morocco.Corporation were always secondary to the country pavilions... the 64/65 flipped that. I bet without looking it up you could not name one corporate pavilion from '70.

That explains all, maybe I should invest in some land, drum up some sponsors and create a non IP Epcot under a different name
At World's Fairs countries are generally sponsored by the countries. (There are restrictions on WF. WF can't charge rent, can only run a max of 6 months etc.) NY broke the rules, so since it wasn't sanctioned many countries opted to skip it for the official WF in 1970.I don’t even know what your talking about the 64/65, but as far as I know many or all of the pavilions were or still are owned by a third party corporation.

I know we all love EPCOT Center, but I think you are being far too generous regarding its architectural influence."Modern" and "Futuristic" are not interchangeable terms.

That burger sounds amazing.I ate there yesterday with the French Bistro Burger. I have to admit, it was really good and filling - probably the best counter service. And real plates... wonder how long that will last. LOL/
Real plates at Satuli has lasted five years so far.I ate there yesterday with the French Bistro Burger. I have to admit, it was really good and filling - probably the best counter service. And real plates... wonder how long that will last. LOL/
Real plates are becoming a more common thing at Quick Services. As mentioned by @MisterPenguin Satuli has had them for years followed by Docking Bay 7 and ABC Commissary at Hollywood Studios. Regal Eagle I believe does as well or it might just be metal trays. With rising prices of food real plates is an easy way to make the experience feel boujieer than it is. I expect more places to do the same.I ate there yesterday with the French Bistro Burger. I have to admit, it was really good and filling - probably the best counter service.

It also sticks true to Disneys less waste/going green mantra.Real plates are becoming a more common thing at Quick Services.

That fits Epcot very well, but I still prefer the Innoventions music loop.There's a great track that plays as part of the Connections Eatery background loop. Have a listen
