Epcot Innoventions demolition a total waste
- Thread starter THEMEPARKPIONEER
- Start date
Other than Moana, it's going to look like the same building that was there before.
There was no rebuild needed. If you knew anything about the Communicore buildings, you'd know that they were designed to be flexible. West could even have been renovated to include... a stage.

I think the new communicore plaza will be cool

I didn’t mind dealing with Epcot’s broken flow for yeeears while still optimistic for a mind blowing end product. That black wall has worn out it’s welcome.

…as long as the label is slapped on it, huh?
Yeah, oh-so-much-better than what used to be in the plaza, like the fountain that they refused to maintain. But now? Look! Pretty LED lights!!
label?

If this exact build was being done at island of adventure…would you say it looks “great”?
This does not look great. More like a punt

It’ll look different. It’ll be more angular and more solid, so the sort of things people said were reasons to get rid of the old building.Other than Moana, it's going to look like the same building that was there before.
An angular, solid building was torn down only to be replaced by... an angular, solid building that looks remarkably similar. #ThanksBob

Thats when the Nostalgia will sell... Lol.So they wrecked the symmetry of the core for “not much”
Well that’s pretty much “within the lanes” of Bob management.
But slow that Moana thing down…don’t rush. Let’s make sure that every kid that actually saw Moana in a theater has succumbed to old age prior to the ribbon cutting
I was 18 when Moana was released. Bruh.

…you may not make it. What if the workers want $0.50 more an hour?

Other than crazy long amount of time this has taken, I'm not sure I understand the objection. If the building needed technological updates, and they are rebuilding it to look similar to what was there before, then that is a best of both worlds, IMO. The property has had many such updates over the years.

I think the objection is it looks bland…not well conceived…
And it doesn’t address adding anything to the park that really provides value or helps with crowd flow.
It’s Epcot…its a sore subject for many. It used to be for me…but my watch has ended there.

Any updates the building needed did not require demolition. The new building will be visually different. It’ll be curved in plan, but not with a similar aesthetic.

Oh, man.... lol!
...Side note... I'm not a fan of the film itself either. The whole movie seems like it was just made for the soundtrack. I remember nothing important about the movie itself.

…but Incredibly popular.
And remember: not a sequel, multiverse or live action remake.
As far as Disney “originals” goes…it’s their most recent big hit (some circumstances - of course)
It moves a lot of product. It passes the “target test”

Oh I'm aware it passes the target test.
..and yet... People still quote the other Disney movies more than their most recent hit.
