I am curious though, what exactly do they think is "wrong" with the current Reflections of China other than it is not tied to a movie franchise?

You know, we take it for granted how accurate Marni is but... man, he's accurate. And one of the best things about this board.

Thanks, Marni!

So much, wow, today.
First we have a new film coming to the China Pavilion, TWO new attractions for Epcot, TRON Coaster at MK, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway coming to HWS, and the list just goes on.

When I search LSE a lot of stuff relating to the London Stock Exchange and DLP comes up so? And WRTW comes up as a radio station... idk maybe just random but who knows.

When are they closing Ellen again?

It's over 15 years old now. A lot has changed on mainland China (at least, in its major cities) since then, I imagine they want to show that. As is in RoC currently, it kinda seems like Hong Kong is the only part of the country that's current while everything else lags behind.

So is the new Epcot restaurant going to go where Wonders of Life is?

It looks like there is a new building in this art near Spaceship Earth. It could possibly go there:

Does anyone have a higher resolution version of the "blue sky" concept art for Epcot. I want to see if they are still showing the graveyard. Seriously, it would be good to study what they're thinking. I like the notion of more green space in the middle of Future World.

 

[marni1971]

Thanks! And the orange mission basically stays the same just with upgraded screens right or is there more to that?

Mostly the Same as far as I know.

That is just blue sky concept art, don't read to much into it.

I'm assuming some sort of air lock system or something of the like?

Kind of.

And it rained.

 

[bclane]

Mostly the Same as far as I know.

Thanks!

I think this presentation goes some way to answering whether WDW has truly changed directions with Pandora and SWL or whether those were blips and WDW is continuing to head in the same old direction.

So... now I'm most excited to see how Uni responds.

8/13/17 for both UoE and GMR

Giving people less then a month of notice is really, really crummy.

But hey, they'll sell "beloved ride closing" merchandise!

Cn there be a new discussion thread for that new resort they were talking about not the SW or Marvel one.
