That's it, I just failed my fanboy sobriety test *couldn't sing tomorrow's child backwards this time*
Epcot's Future World has become a great place for hands on, and discovery.
There is truly something for everyone at Epcot, which is far better than EPCOT Center's earliest notions of "the parents will bring the kids to EPCOT Center, the kids can bring the parents to the Magic Kingdom"
My gripe is with the cosmetics of Future World.
There is no common theme,but rather a combination of past refurbs and redos.
The rebranding of SSE from its signs, new logo, paint,and foliage helps envelope guest in the Epcot experience.
My hope is that Future World can continue to learn from what has been done with SSE and the interior and modern spaces of Project Tomorrow.
So that we can finally loose the yellow ceilings and purple paint at the Epcot entrance, and can have a more unified theme and design throughout Future World.
As for the attractions, Test Track does entertain, and inform, and does in a way inspire.
Same goes more M:S, though I think what guests see before the ride is more inspiring about space, and the future than the post show.
WoL is dead, but that doesn't mean it can't be replaced by something new.
UoE needs a facelift, and with our energy crisis, I hope they could do a new show, but not as bland as the original.
The Seas shifted too much toward kids IMHO, and not enough in the building that offered something for everyone, and the land pavilion is a great combination of something for everyone, while Imagination needs a refurb for a variety of reasons.
My concern is that Disney tries to put too much of the company into the parks, rather than offering more of the Disney experience.
By Disney experience I mean people raving about Soarin, Test Track, and Mission:Space
And I have no problems with characters in future world costumes, or from their native lands in world showcase, but I don't see the need for the kim possible adventure, when it could be a disney experience and unique world showcase adventure that would be timeless and could involve epcot created characters and events.
As for world showcase itself, I am all for new countries, and thrill rides in world showcase.
I was OK with the new O'Canada film, but the film will become more outdated with the use of Martin Short, that had it been done with a new nameless narrator.
There could also be a revival of ideas that would seem new to guests. A new worldkey system, and by all means NOT what it was in 1982, but a new system that could be used at all the parks that is an interactive and fun experience.
