Eyes on EPCOT Center

[Mr.EPCOT]

It's a shame about House, that one always seemed like it should be the exhibit that would always be at Innoventions, the throughput from the beginning.

I know exhibits change all the time. Rockin' Robots, however, seems to have stayed the longest. :lookaroun

I believe Rockin' Robots has been there since 2003, and it certainly needs to be replaced, IMO.

2005.

House and UL are older. Possibly Fire, too. And IBM's been there longer, but of course their venue has changed.

 

[HMF]

Possibly Fire, too.

I remember Fire in 2004.

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

Very good, I hope it stays that way.

Nothing like getting off the mono and hearing the BGM.:king:

The Christmas loop was going throughout the main entrance plaza and most of Future World when I was there on Sunday.

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

I remember Fire in 2004.

Yeah, that's right, I remember now, it opened towards the end of the year.

What do you mean....most?:lookaroun

Well, obviously it's not playing in places like around Mission: SPACE and inside the Universe of Energy. :lol:

*sigh*


I hate the BGM change....That's not decoration...it just ruins thematics! The music of the parks is integral to the feelings and setting they create.

I think the House just wasn't laid out to be seen easily, sometimes even when I knew it was there I'd walk by it and not even notice.

 

[CarouselTheater]

I wanted to take my 9 year old niece on Imagination, but I don't even think the ride is worth it now. It just seems like a waste of time. And it used to be such a huge part of the experience. Sad.

You are surrendering to the almighty ladder?

2005? Well, I knew it was pretty old. :lol:

I do remember House in 2003, though.

But it does create a mood for the holidays, even though the setting is a little off. :lookaroun

Wait, that large noticeable blueprint of a house with a shiny car out front?

That's true. I have seen more people interested in the car itself... :brick:

Soon...

And the plot thickens...

. The next major change was with the flooring in the breezways, as over at Innoventions West, the area changed section by section to a new green flooring with a wavy design. The East side soon followed, with the same wavy pattern in shades of blue this time, giving credence to a dormant rumor that Innoventions East and Innoventions West would become Innoventions Blue and Innoventions Green.

While you could be right about innoventions getting a name change, one of the major reasons the redid the tiled floor was because when it got wet, it got very slippery. Too many guests were slipping, and they also decided it didn't look good that every time it rained the yellow "caution" cones had to but put up everywhere in the breezeways.

And even so, I am positive that there were those who did not bother to look and slipped hard.

They could have done that with LoW!

Anyway, I just feel that music is OVER saturation. The theme of the park comes first, the holiday second. EPCOT isn't Christmasland. MK is.:lol:

I agree LoW should've been the main focus point for the holidays at EPCOT.

I give you that. Theme first, then holidays. But especially since LoW is gone & now has a small choir with limited shows on Friday & Saturday only, technically FW is at a loss with the Christmas spirit. WS has 11 unique and daily Christmas shows, one in each country, that focuses on the cultural traditions of that particular country & the marvelous tree in World Showcase Plaza, but what does FW have - Christmas merch? :lol: At least the BGM is coherent in a spiritless FW. Oh, and the entrance topiaries do help in a way.

Meh. I can't argue that.:shrug: I just think that they should have enough in both so as to NOT rely on music. Seems cheap that way..:lookaroun:lol:

What about reviving the EPCOT Bots from 1994 with a Christmas overlay?

You know, more from Entertainment?

Wrong thing to say to me.:king: I'd be all for it!:ROFLOL:

Same here.

I would certainly like to see more 'bots back in EPCOT again.
