Epcot suffering

I don't know why so many people dislike the current Epcot...

The park is supposed to be about discovering and learning new things. If they kept the same rides for 25+ without updating them, they'd finally get to a point where no one would learn or experience anything new anymore, because they would have already done everything or learned everything before.

In order to keep Epcot fresh and exciting for everyone Disney has to update it. It's the basic nature of the park itself. If they didn't update it every so often we would end up Epcot: Experimental prototype ghosttown of tomorrow.

On my end the updates arent what get to me I see a lot of complaining. I am just a little upset with the park in general. Sometimes it just seems like they dont put so much quality into the new stuff like they used to do with the old ones. The old attractions have seemed to have left more of an impression on everyone than the new rides. I just wish the new rides would give as much fulfillment as the old ones except soarin and even that is an old ride as I have heard.

Like spaceship earth the old ending looked so real and it was amazing with all those stage sets with robots they went with the music which was great and they were so realistic Horizons was like that to along with dream-finder. Now they just save money and depend on screens Except for soarin and mission space I wish that the new rides. The end of spaceship earth really needs some scenery at the end. Put in some old horizons equipment maybe the space scene of the underwater scene there is so much they could throw in little by little. For epcot isn't as packed as it used to be they have really scaled down I think.

The living seas got rid of a lot of aquarium tanks the last I looked and filled up the building with nemo which isn't bad I haven been in here since but I hope to god the living seas sill focuses on marine life and saving the marine life. I just think of nemo as the living seas version of dream-finder hopefully thats what it is but there is nothing like the manatees I hope that big tank is there and that the dolphins are still there. Im not upset about change but when you replace something the new should be even better in every detail you can think of and to be honist I havent been in there in a long time but I have found out that the tanks might have been replaced with new ones in another location. I could be wrong about the living seas but the blue has to go. Gold looks so mutch better. You are right in everything you said and I totally agree with you :) my thread statement is a little inacurite I have to fix it.

I am the one who has been punk'd My friends uses this name. I just saw this discussion for the first time and I am mortified. And not everything new in epcot is extremely horrible but look at magic kingdom they have so many classics left and untouched why cant epcot keep the classics but of course they need to update because technology gets updated. He is right If you're going to demolish a masterpiece replace it with a better one. He stole my words from what I said last year going down spaceship earth. That goes for horizons and Dream finder. I do like Mission space but the line isn't worth it and they shouldn't eliminate Horizons for that. Yo steve you are so dead??????:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::And the spell check isn't broken its called Edit, Spelling and Grammar and last but not least Show Spelling And Grammar. If there is any more threads I should know about email me at mikeimac8@aol.com I haven't posted any threads since 2008 but I am impressed he made one that made it past 2 pages. Sorry about the spelling.
One more thing Does anyone know what ever happened to the flamingos on the left side of the Mexico Pavilion.

Just kidding there is no steve :ROFLOL: but I did figure out my spell check I dont have Microsoft word on my mack and I used to copy and paste:)
Wait, wait, wait...

You're admitting you made up that first post?

Ugh... I'll be so glad when school is back in session. Any day now.

EPCOT is my favorite park and I have seen the old and new. I miss body wars, and truly want them to bring back the origional world of imagination. That was just a really nice entertaining ride. The world of Motion I truly enjoyed, but I do have to say that Test Track was a really nice addition. I think Mission Space is OK but not really a part of EPCOT.

You know what it is they dont replace it with something that blinds us from the old one. They need to make it like illuminations Make it so good that you dont remember the old one. In future worlds case everytime they do something it is never better than the old.

The old rides didn't leave much of an impression on me. Well, Imagination did but when you're six a ride about a wizard and his dragon always wins over a ride about oil and farming. :lookaroun

Oh yeah, 'cause I remember going to Six flags and seeing a show where you can interact with a CGI cartoon character, or a ride recreating hang gliding with a large Imax style screen :rolleyes:

I have never been to 6 flags but I have to get there one day. I used to love the old spaceship earth. I haven't been on horizons since I was 5 or younger now I am 18 and I still remember it so well. I Haven't bin on Dream-finder been on it since 2 and still remember it. Of course I thought is was all one ride put together and I thought it was all in the sphere but I was so fascinated with the rides and now these new rides really dont to it for me. I hit Test Track, Soarin, Universe Of Energy, catch a couple fountain shows than I am off to the world showcase.

I think Maelstrom is now my favorite ride and that is one of this rides that are only kept up but not noticed so there is no point in changing it Norway isn't advancing neither is their legends LOL. They even have the screen after the ride. I do wish they would let you out instead of making you wait for the doors to open. After walking stopping in that pastry and sandwich shop to get a gallon of soda wait on a long line and to wait behind those doors is not fun.

Ah, another day another "EPCOT isn't what it was when I was little so it sucks now" thread :p

There are only like 3 things that were destroyed in epcot. The living seas has nemo but its like their version of dream finder. I thought they got rid of the manatees and some other tanks but they just relocated them. The upgrades arent even half bad they just dont live up to the standards of the old rides. Those 3 attractions are what made the park.

Look at Illuminations no one talks about the versions only if the changes on Imagination, Spaceship Earth and Horizons would be that popular but obviously they dont care about their work. I still love the world showcase. The octoberfest beer garden restaurant at Germany is amazing. The only thing I dont like are the sound of those Kim possible phones. I say pretend to be a worker and collect them and accidentally drop them on the fire barge when they haul it out before the show. I wish they would vibrate or something.

Na I didnt mean to do that I just talk alot sorry if you feel spamed. My post is just a little incaurate and I changed the post but couldnt fix the title. I use this like IM:):) My bad. I was just joking around I was trying to make light of my bad spelling everyone was calling me out saying they thought they were punked I just thought everyone would get a laugh out of the steve thing. Kind of like blaming everything on the imaginary friend bob. I started this board I want am tryig to be helpful to anyone that isnt realey getting my point. If you dont like that just ignore it. Trying to be helpful not horace people. Learn what spamming means. No hard feelings check out some of the vintage epcot videos on youtube coming soon I will announce it I think you will like them.

The Manatees are where they have always been. Vintageepcot- After this incredibly ridiculous thread you're on thin ice and heading for a banning. I would tred lightly if I were you.
