EPCOT Center Odds and Ends with obnoxiously HUGE pics 9/5/09

[Mr.EPCOT]

Okay folks, I'll be sporadically posting pics from today, mostly of the breezeway work. Bear with me, it will take me a little while to get them all up. Coming in around 6:30, it was a bit of a soggy Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow:

Post of the freakin' week! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can research this later to be sure, but I think the poles for the Electric Umbrella awnings have been painted blue, I think they used to be purple. Can anyone else verify?

That guy on the right looks like he just found out RnRC is not at EPCOT. :lookaroun:ROFLOL:

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

Yes the poles used to be purple. :drevil:

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

Here's a close look for a good comparison between the new pillar paint and the CommuniFloor:

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

...but the CommuniFloor has no symmetry (like early EPCOT Center aesthetics) it's just blue and white waves that go in random directions.

Yes the poles used to be purple. :drevil:

Looks like they are not going anywhere. If it turns out they are only re-painting the canopy poles (however unlikely) I can hear the angry yells.

the electric umbrella canopy was built to help bring more tables outdoors and to provide shade. When they filled in the plaza in the mid 90s, they took advantage of the space where the old ponds used to be and then expanded the restaurant further outward. The electric umbrella canopy has a much-needed function, the triangle tarps...well.....not so much.

[Expo_Seeker40]

I swear they used to be purple :lookaroun

 

[krankenstein]

I swear they used to be purple :lookaroun

I was actually looking a picture to confirm that they were purple because I thought they were too. :shrug:

Maybe this has been happening for a lot longer than we thought..... :lookaroun

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

the evil plan is working

Yep they were purple!



Good sign.


Love the report, thus far. Glad to see you back in EPCOT.
