I agree....EPCOT is missing it's classics. Something it needs. Every other park has them, but EPCOT? Nope?
Yes, EPCOT does need to make money, and does need to change periodically, but it needs to do that in a way with respect for the original, and in terms of technology. Not just ripping out a attraction for the sake of it. Hello, JII....

Wow, three new sets....the rest of them are all the same. How is that really all that different? Is mew music like just cows singing?
I'll say it again, but EPCOT has gotten a LOT of love over the past three years. And to compare it to Six Flags, is well, uneducated blather.
Um, no. It's not dead or on life support. Keep thinking that though.... :hammer:
Y'all are being mean...
Not mean, if you're going to present such a thread, better be able to spell, and know what you're talking about. :animwink: Mamoties? Mew music? ov? Good gravy.
So right but they messed with the wrong things. Like world of motion that ride never phazed eve you know it was like the spaceship earth travel vershion. Test track at least includes technology and is a good ride. I used to confuse world ot motion with the 3 ither slow rides that were way better. I think they should of kept horizons and put spaceship earth in it and used it as a simulator fou future traveling. I am suprised noone picked up horizons and just updated it and it even wanst outdated they just had to take 21st centry out of the plot. im not mad about change I am just upset how they dimolish the artwork and the music syncronized to it and gat a little lazy with the creativity. I just wish the new rides would have a little more talent in them like thay used to spaceship earth screens could stay I just miss the sets I wish they would make new ones. I also wish they kept dreamfinder I dont care if they changed the ride it is not half bad but I thought it was boaring.
Im not opposed to change I still love epcot I just wish they would put a little more into the attractions like they used to and that alone would make them just as good or even better than the egzisting. And I wish they wouldnt mess with the classics. Epcot does need to expand.
They probally just dumped them in the world showcase I hope the earth dosnt hit them but then they can take a beating.

The old days of EPCOT?
Didn't some famous person once say back then, "It's boring to even fly over."

Well since the name Epcot Center is no longer used and a lot of EC classic attractions are gone yes it is dead.

1. Vintage Epcot was the ultimate theme park masterpiece.
2. Modern Epcot is the greatest theme park in the world.
I believe both these statements to be true. I further believe that neither statement would be true without the park having existed in both forms. I further believe that the park having both forms does not diminishes the greatness of either.
And if the OP compares Epcot to Six Flags again, I might have to drop a triple MousDad :fork::fork::fork:.

Aha! Sir, you win. EPCOT Center becomes Epcot and Epcot needs EPCOT Center.:lol:
Makes me scared, if they were to ever build a WESTCot...It wouldn't have that history.

Very good way of putting this MousDad. I believe that MOST people wouldn't appreciate vintage EPCOT today if there had been no changes. I wish it wouldn't have had to change, but that's not reality. It guess it did have to be "dumb downed" somewhat for todays population-too bad though.

In my opinion I have to disagree.
Spaceship Earth- I have mixed feelings on this one. I loved the original so there were aspects that I personally didn't like. The new, updated show scenes are a nice improvement over the previous ones and really help update the pavilion. The finale, however, could use some work. I know I might be in the minority but I enjoy the cartoons at the end. It will bring more people back to the ride when no one would return again. The triangles need some work though.
The Seas- Being as someone who was fortunate enough to visit the Living Seas before it changed. I will say, I like the new pavilion WAY more. The original was so dry and boring. I never rode the seacabs before but judging by videos, it really lacked detail. The updated pavilion is far more colorful and fun. The ride is very average for me but I like the new pavilion way more.
Universe Of Energy- I have never ridden the original show but I will say that the new film is incredible. It takes it's humour and blends it with education to create a very fun show. It is somewhat outdated though and could use an update but for the time being, it works well.
Horizons- Once again I never rode the original so I have high regards for Mission Space. It is an okay ride, and it does fit in with Epcot better than some rides.
