Does Epcot Need Saving?

First... how are they futuristic? A hang-glider is not futuristic. You can teleport miles at a time while traveling through clouds... that's the most futuristic aspect of it. LWTL isn't futuristic, either. I can build a greenhouse in my backyard and do the same things they are doing. You can buy air gardens for your kitchen.

So HOW is the Land futuristic?

That rumor has floated around for years and was associated with Project Gemini. Most people don't seem to care about incongruency of the term "Future World," so why bother?

As far as "unthemed and disorganized," I don't think you have been to any other Orlando parks. If you have, you have gone in with the Disney-tinted glasses that say, "Anything not Disney is crap" Lost Continent and Jurassic Park at IoA, the Marketplace at Seaworld and Jungala at Busch Gardens are highly themed environments that are comparible to Disney.

Did I really just say that something was as good as Disney? Yeah... you know why? Because Disney is a corporation that does it's job well. But they aren't the only ones.

You say not all teenagers are idiots, but the inconsistancies in your argument aren't helping you much.

I went to Busch Gardens last year,not holding the "less than Disney"stigma an was very effectively let down.No theme,no direction,just a buch of coasters in a "jungle" like setting.

And what inconsistencies?Read one of my first replies in the topic.And if you still find something wrong,pardon me for being less that perfect,pardon me for making a mistake.I'm sure you have never done that.

Meh...I guess I could get used to it.And it would fit better.But PLEASE,PLEASE get rid of the skunk smell..and I actually do like the new(er)JIYI...It just needs to be a bit longer.Yes,like the old one...I know.*Purist*



Stop.

Sometimes you are funny,but this is getting hurtful.

Wait...he just said Discovery World would fit better (and he'd get used to it) and he kinda enjoys Imagination...I take that to be huge! :lol:

LOL...Like I said, I love Epcot.Even now.I just would like to see a better future for it and for that you need change.Perhaps a re-name can be the 1st step.

You seem to be under the impression that I am remotely bothered or serious. Simply ignore my posts. And apply the cream.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Sir,you confuse me.

Is that the intent?

 

[Timmay]

I think it's the sillyness of the animation.THere's no way the future will have that look..

Really? So you've been there, I take it...:shrug:


And yes, sadly, all teenagers are idiots.

I know this because I was a teenager once and guess what...I was an idiot. My son is 12 and he is just entering his infancy of idiocy. It is not meant to offend or be an attack, but is is well known fact that teenagers have a brain about the size of a dehydrated pea.

(that was all meant in good fun...everyone lighten up a little. Yes, that includes me)

Your beef with The Seas was that it wasn't futuristic.
You dislike a flash animation in SSE which is the only futuristic aspect of the attraction. Everything else is celebrating the past.

The Land has no futuristic aspects to it, yet is your favorite pavillion.

Inconsistent.

Comparing other parks with a general, opinionated brush...

Non sequiter.

Jungala wasn't open last year, so you cannot judge my example.

Regardless, Epcot is a disjointed park itself. Is it a futuristic park, or is it a present, global community park? There is no joining of the two differing themes other than some nice landscaping.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not perfect, but this is a debate. If you're going to take my opinion personally, maybe you should reconsider how important the debate is.

Nice! :lol:

No the internet. :lookaroun

Then follow previous instruction, I wont be offended and suggest that you are not either, I guarantee you would know when I was being hurtful or serious.

Ive learned from my teenagers :animwink:

Personally, I think a name change would be extremely helpful...but I don't know if we're going to see it.

And I guess that's where we differ, b/c I see the changes they've been making as good things for the park...and not awful.

I hope you consider me,a teenager,to be at least a little bit better than that.

And yes,I have been to the future.I have been to EPCOT Center.

*lightens up*

If it doesn't make sense, ignore it.

I don't see them as less than awful either.Like I said,I'm fine with Epcot.

I just liked the concept and the feeling of EPCOT Center better.

Ooooh...Post #1500.

Fine,dont't see the connections.I never had the Disney is better stigma in BG-It just proved it.I said earlier that I liked the land because it had something for everyone.And yes,it is futuristic.SSE-The touch screens are not futuristic.Remeber WorldKey?That was 1982.Also,It's celebrated with a look from the future to the past.It is a time machine you are in is it not?

I'm fine with you thinking that I'm just another EPCOT Center Teenager Purist.It doesn't matter that much.You are right about that.

Have a Magical Day.

I believe for the most part this was one of the least harsh Epcot discussions...:lookaroun
