EPCOT Forever to return?

[wishiwere@wdw]

Take it for what it’s worth but my understanding is this has as much to do with guest sat scores as it does with ongoing maintenance headaches. IMO, if not for the latter then it wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

If I had to guess, some components of Harmonious infrastructure are sticking around while others are removed to streamline maintenance but again, that’s just a guess and speculation on my part. We shall find out in 2023 .

I would love to see an updated version of Epcot Forever. One without the stupid jet skis and flags.

Just take covid EF and replace whole new world with we go on. Winner.

Based simply off of how expensive the barges were, I wouldn't expect them to disappear.

Sunk costs?


... so to speak.

Just send the things to WDSP. Anything is an upgrade there.

No can do. Bob already has dibs on the tacos for his backyard.

Growing all that chin hair really took a lot out of him. Plus he wants to have an epic taco party for all his ... friends? There may be leftovers.

Honestly, leftovers are good enough for WDSP. 1 1/2 tacos and a donut hole? Très bien!

I have no insights, but I expect EF 3.0 to debut on April 2 (Not April 1, because that would let some of us write too many jokes. ) But whenever it debuts, I'm expecting the EF 2.0 changes plus a few new things, and my personal hope is that they re-do the ending and not use 'A Whole New World'. They have the time, let's hope they have the desire.

Edit: I sincerely wish they would use longer than 10-12 second audio clips and let the music and show evolve, but I have no such expectations from TDO. Gotta please the lowest common denominator who has the attention span of a gnat.

Another reason for mobile hardware. You don’t do this in plan view.

'Bad Show'.

In this case, a term with a double meaning.

No thanks... we have the Tokyo Fantastic barges for the lake, a much better hand me down than the oil rigs.

Those tacos and portal could be put on a better float strung together and pulled around on Bay Lake and SSL for an additional enhancement to the EWP

Move these huge barges to somewhere else on the property. The trash heap would be best.

At least there they could pull them in/out nightly with ease.

You’re absolutely right!

Guests are getting a free backstage experience without actually paying for the tour!

@Bob should implement a Harmonious recovery surcharge to guests entering World Showcase.

To make matters worse, this isn't a rare event. Its a near daily event trying to keep it running.
