Epcot and Water

[aladdin2007]

I noticed yesterday during a very busy garden festival friday, that the Fountain of Nations was totally off all day, Norways outdoor waterfall now has a wall around the whole front, and the American Adventure fountains were off,,,whats with the fountain/water issues? I didnt check Imagination but I think I saw the leaping fountains from a distance so those were apparently working.

In the future, there will be no water.

I believe it, though quite a few have been added to new fantasyland, and splash mountains fixed, but whats the deal with epcot

You have to get a fast pass+ to see the waters.

There's a mega drought in central Florida right now. Even irrigation (which uses reclaimed water) has been slowed. It rained last night so we'll see.

Only Annual Passholders with zip codes in the metro Orlando area get to see the water effects. They also get issued special glasses to see the hidden fireworks.

Hopefully they can fix this problem. That's the most beautiful spot in EPCOT IMHO. My boys love to watch the waters "dance" and enjoy the show.

Well, it's not like the water is constantly being pumped from a source, waters in the fountains and rides are recirculated, of course they do lose water from time to time, but it shouldn't be a big issue during a drought.

You wouldn't think so, but they lose a lot of water.

I noticed that yesterday too but didn't think much of it.

they should force tour groups to manual pump the water in the fountains....do something useful.

You will need a magic band to enjoy water features.

The Fountain of Nations is up and running as of today. I so happened to catch a show earlier this afternoon. Thank god for the rain! It's been a while.

 

[Bolt]

Yeah - didn't see any water issues today. I know by America, they are doing work backstage so they might pause lines from time to time. You can see the construction walls by Kidcot.

 

[Knothead]

Now we know where the water for Disney Springs will come from.

I am learning so much on these boards.

Before now, I'd have called it, "the big fountain in Future World, with the music and the shooting water and stuff...the one by Electric Umbrella and the pin stand, by where the smoking area used to be..."

Now I know its name. Fountain of Nations.
