Eyes on EPCOT Center

[EPCOT Explorer]

Naaaah... :lookaroun But maybe denial has set in on my part.

I'll gladly take on the avatar challenge once I get home from work though. :king:

WIN. Love the avvie.

That's about it, really. I guess I miss the country feel of The Land pre-2005. :shrug:

I do too, but the feel of the pavilion works better now. It's futuristic and perfect for a 21st century EPCOT.

I just with it were calmer.:brick:

Thanks, EE!

I think I was 12 the first time I went to Epcot back in '94. Sadly I can't remember what some of these great attractions were like, but watching some of the YouTube videos has brought back some memories. I do miss Horizons quite a bit. I always liked the stories those kind of Disney rides told. Wish they had more like it. Seems like all we have anymore is SSE, an CoP as far as progression of time story-telling rides. Maybe to an extent LwtL but I think these rides were/are essential to a young mind. I mean, you are inadvertently learning at Disney World which makes it more enjoyable than sitting in a classroom. I think Walt would have appreciated these rides a lot if he would have been around to see/ride them. Other than CoP of course, which he envisioned and lived through.

Me too, i thought the land actually fit better with food and what not now it kind of just looks like an airport, imo

I think the food they have now is pretty disappointing too, except for the bakery stuff.

I also prefer the old layout, it felt much more like an extension of LwtL showed us

yeah exactly! that was perfectly fluent throughout the pavilion with food rocks and circle of life show. Now its there to promote Soarin', which i love, but i don't think everything fits as well

All they need to do is relocate those fastpass machines to the entrance and The Land would take on a whole new and relaxing atmosphere. Like it used to be.

Extremely true, the amount of traffic that the pavillion gets is mostly those seeking fastpasses. It becomes crazy around park opening. If they were moved outside (which i really dont know where) it would make the pavillion a little less congested, but come to think if it, if you moved it outside, the entrance would be congested. I think its just something you cant fix. Soarin is just that much of a popular ride.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Centralized FastPasses, perhaps? :lookaroun

Almost all the way drained, even...

 

[IWant2GoNow]

Yay! Back with more photos! BTW, sweet outfit! Orange is my favorite color. Where'd you find those Nike's at?

The Plaza is eerily quiet without it going...

I've said this for years. Outside or just inside the front doors of the pavillion would eleviate a LOT of congestion.

The narration in Sum of all Thrills was being tested last night as well as the lighting was being programmed.

Thanks, it's my favorite color, too! I got them at the Nike store in the Orlando Premium Outlets.

Speaking of which, as I was walking through Innoventions East, I saw a group of Innoventions Cast Members escorted into the venue, I would presume they're working on their scripts.

Also, a nice Innoventions Cast Member told me that it will be opening next Wednesday!

With any luck, this is the very beginning of work to remove some or all of the stage, or even something to do with the new railings, like maybe synching up the new railing LEDs with the Fountain lights...
