EpcotServo's October 18th Update: Around EPCOT Center

[marni1971]

Couple of answers to questions above as well as a correction:- The pavillion between Energy and Horizons on the concept art, as I understand it, was the original Wonders of Life pavillion. There was always thought to build a health-based pavillion, but it wasn't in the budget at first.

Yep, for the final version of the park anyhow. Health and Life was proposed to be where it was built since around 1980 - the 1989 version was the 4th variant for the pavilion as we know it.

- An eroneous error in the Epcot gallery has been fixed. The Germany poster had a picture of the Norway pavillion being constructed. An image of the Germany pavillion being constructed has now been put there. You can tell where it is if you run your hand over the top of the poster.

That confused the hell out of me whilst transferring my still pics. I almost put the Norway photo in the Germany folder until I noticed the construction wall on the prom. "Why would they have a wall in an unfinished park" I thought, until I looked closer and saw it was indeed Norway and not Germany. Funny how they have the same structure during construction - an easy mistake to make I guess. I think I just showed some more of my EPCOT geekness :lol:

- The projected silver fish in the Nemo queue have been there for quite some time (at least since Spring '07). Perhaps it wasn't working when you went last time? It was indeed there in Fall of '06, though.

No, it has to be new. I've been going on it since the first Cast Preview day and the only thing I've seen like that was the faint slowly moving fish projections that were on the same location as this is. Unless it was an effect built in, but broken for some reason except for fall 06, then broken again until now. Which I don't think so because it's just two digital projectors. Nothing that can't be fixed quickly. Can you give me the exact dates you saw them? Because for me it was like this...

Opening through awhile
Nothing

Random date I forget through now
Slow moving faint fish projections on the wall

Now
Fast moving silver fish forming shapes.

:shrug:

And thanks for the answer about the strange building! I guessed it was an early version of WOL, but the large back part and the look of the bulding made me think it was another version of Space. I guess the large back part was going to be the show building for the dark ride version of Body Wars. Makes sense now.

Yesterday I went to MGM and I have some Updates, but I think I'm going back tomorrow too, so I'll just double it up for a bigger update on Tuesday.

See you around!
:wave:

I remember seeing them back during opening but I know positively they were there in late May because I watched them do the above-mentioned monorail as well as countless other shapes.
