News EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

[comics101]

You all don't understand, the dirt is actually part of the theme.

Yeah it perfectly matches the massive dirt mounds sitting in Innoventions Plaza

If in fact it is Alucobond- instruction call for a regular cleaning with a mild detergent and brush. No power washing. I think that dirt has been there a while.

I honestly think they made it look worse.

Now, this...

I'm pretty sure the issue is that it can't be cleaned. It is alucobond like SSE which also appears to have suffered semi-permanent staining or corrosion. I am also sure that's why they chose to not wrap/paint it. But if the alucobond substrate is important to them, they should've designed it differently or properly restored the alucobond (which goes far beyond pressure washing).

I was going to say the same thing. It seems like it needs a complete replacement of the cladding.

Guests are sneaking into the construction site and taking dirt from there and selling it on Ebay for $125 a baggie!!

Toss in the flower logo and it would be perfect!

Man I wish we could have some nods to retro Epcot... Even in the parking lot...

Also, the country idea would have made so much sense as well. Even if they slapped a toon from each country it would have been more fitting somehow.

The “L” is ever so slightly crooked and it’s seriously bothering me.

Once every 40 years wouldn't be so bad . . .

That's a very good mock-up, I like it.

That's a very good mock-up, I like it.

Me, too. Big improvement over what is actually there.

But think of the cost!!! That would likely take $50 million and take the toll plaza out of service for at least 6 months.

I could get behind that, in all seriousness. Something more than the absolutely minimal effort put forth for what's now there.

Epcot really needs to invest in a quality pressure washer, it would have added one day to the installation process to blast off the old names first. Instead you have the Discover Crush 204 14 parking area. It just looks sloppy.

It's what they did before.

Ok, “Dory 404” is a good one, I’ll give them that.
