Electrical Fire At Epcot
- Thread starter timeman
- Start date
So far as I know, moving south in the basement it goes food prep, then mechanical, then electrical and then there is the original fountain pump room underneath the gallery/Club Cool area. If the fountain is still pumped from down here (I think it is) perhaps that is why it went dry.

Ah...Interesting. So the fire DID damage the fountain? Shame.
Think it will be hard to fix?

Ah, gotcha...Hope it's OK...It was just through a refurb, after all...

No, the whole Innoventions/FoN plaza needs such an overhaul I would not mind at all.
But you didn't hear that from me! :lookaroun
:lol:
Use the term refub lightly Dubbz. The fountain is slowly being left to malfunction back to half-assed, barely worth operating shows shape.

And really?
Is it that bad? Sheesh. (I hadn't seen it yet, so I don't know...)

Does the inferno barge have wheels by any chance? :lookaroun :lol:
And its not THAT bad (yet). The thing is if they keep going without giving it attention, it soon will be back in that state. They generally mini-refurb it just before the holidays to get in shape again so hopefully that will fix some things.
Perhaps my expectations of the refurb were too great though? But really, when the thing is walled off and down for about two months, is it too much to expect that all the nozzles be working properly? I mean why is it that 3 months after a two month refurb there are multiple shooters that are crooked or barely work (yes, already, sad isn't it?), a side arch nozzle that is crooked, fans don't go off like they're supposed to for shows, one or two supershooters only go about half as high as they should, and to top it all of, the center fountain that should be able to shoot water 150 feet high isn't even operational. :dazzle: :brick:
Tell me, did I expect too much? I mean, when the thing reopend, I wasn't expecting lasers and fire and new rotating nozzles or anything. All I wanted was some new/updated hardware to bring the fountain back to a state where everything worked like it was supposed to. You think park ops and upper management would want that, too, but I guess not.

No, you didn't expect too much, you expected Disney quality...Something lacking these days.Does the inferno barge have wheels by any chance? :lookaroun :lol:

That's a shame, though...Can we get the HoP Team over in EPCOT?:lookaroun

The HOP team had a hand in the ruining of Epcot.:animwink:No, you didn't expect too much, you expected Disney quality...Something lacking these days.

They brought back Figgie on a small budget, and did as much as they could without the rest of the track. Standing on it's own, it's a nice ride. Stop comparing it to the original...It's what I've done.:lol:
Seas is wrong for EPCOT, yes, but it's an amazing attraction. Highly themed, immersive...If it were in DHS, I would love it.
Can't argue with you on SSE...
But the script is the the least of it's problems.And maybe these Imagineers have changes since then. HoP sounds like a hit.
