Eyes on EPCOT Center

[EPCOTPluto]

I believe these are new signs at Electric Umbrella...

Ah, very nice. The whole sign does seem to scream SM, though. Still pretty awesome.

The big projection screen menus have been replaced...

Is it now less opaque and more clearer to read it? The last time I was there, it was a tad blurry...

This has the clear cylinders, too. None of the other signs seem to have them.

(coughNewLucitecough?) :lookaroun

The obligatory peek over the wall...

I am beginning to believe the painting was too thin and they have to keep repainting certain areas.

Great updates, so far. :wave:

EDIT:

Inside Innoventions East, The Sum of All Thrills had its official opening today...

Attractive! Can't wait to ride! :sohappy:

A mock-up of the ride vehicle...

Back to business: this directional sign is missing the whirly-gig on top, and have these clear cylinders sticking out the top and bottom. I don't know if this means anything, but there you have it...

:sohappy:

Means a TON to me...I'm thinking lighting? FTW!


And were they always blue?

This looks awesome. Innoventions is taking a good turn.

As I understand it, the venue wasn't open to the general public, but only to Guests of Shades of Green today, who were given a Sum of All Thrills pin at the hotel to be identified with...

I'm very pleased to say that it seems like a very proper EPCOT Center/CommuniCore/Innoventions exhibit...

^^ Super to see something vintage return, then...

And were they always blue?

I think at one point, it was purple.

Yes. A bit of a return of the obelisk concept from the original plaza fountain. Something is going on here.

They're having a big party this evening, probably going on at this very moment...

There looks like there's extra lighting and speakers rigged up on the ceiling for the shindig...

Not specifically EPCOT-related, but I thought these were cool new Mickey shirts...

Yeah, this sign is definitely looking new to me. A couple of you mentioned that the top looks like a new logo, but it's not, it's always been on the other signs. But you're right, it does look like a selected Space Mountain logo! :lol:

Not to mention the writing for the menu. So much better than that sandwich board usually displayed outside.

Plus, based off the location of this pic, it originally looked like this:

And now for something you won't find anywhere else: glamour shots of railings!

:dazzle: Dazzled.

I had almost given up. Thanks! I like how the light reflects on the rails and concrete. Very good stuff. Who needs E tickets? :lol:

Yes, they now have the new LED lights on...

Completely brilliant. And it makes the tarps look even more obsolete. Great job Disney, great job! :xmas:

I still have a hope for synchronization with the Fountain shows...

I can't wait to see what they do with the rest of the railings and the Plaza...
