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.
