Eyes on EPCOT Center

[marni1971]

Lets see...

Left to right as you look at the park entrance, the 3 closest to the park are Imagine, Amaze then Journey.

The back 4, again left to right, are Wonder, Explore, Create and Discover.

They were originally Space, Energy, Harvest, Communications, Imagination, Mobility and Seas. I don`t have my layout to hand at the mo (it`s on a fried PC)

What is Wonder today was not originally built; so popular was the park it was added between December 1982 and February 1983 - originally it was a field used for overflow parking. It was paved when it became regularly used. Such is its shape that that one area added around 50% more parking capacity from October 1982.

Ah, so that's what they are. Thanks, Martin! :wave:

Happy Birthday Epcot. Tonight, 2 years ago, I was getting loaded at MK during MNSSHP on candy. Good times.

Just let all the wandies have their moment Evan. They can go hug that wall and shed a tear.

"Hi. I really want to get tanked today on wine. Can you give me some information on that?"

From one wino to another... :wave:

(Note: I do not know or am affiliated with the woman in the photo. It is merely just for fun. Nice flip flops. How in the world do you tackle Epcot in flip flops?)

Finally read the entire thread, it took me a week but this was my favorite post.

Forgot to get the pic included post #72 for reference

Where in the lot is it?

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Where in the lot is it?

Wonder is WAYYYY over on the left, the farthest lot from the entrance.

 

[Figment1986]

Where in the lot is it?

Wonder is the furthest lot from entrance... Rarely used by epcot guests. They park special events there as well as hold some like the CM sale...

I was referring to Explore.


Where I MUST park, next time. And take many pictures of the sign. :lol:

Isn't it ironic that the EPCOT parking areas are names for things TDO doesn't do anymore? (Amaze, Create, etc.)

Oh, I see why you want a pic of the sign...

Its the lot next to Wonder.

Here's a crude visual based on Martin's info that should help:

I am having trouble getting excited about the tarp removal again because we all figured they would stay up through the holidays but I don't have the anticipation I had in October anymore.

Nor do I. Hopefully work begins again in the plaza soon. Be it building painting, or railings, or anything...:lol:


When I was there, though, the railing behind the Earth Station building WAS gone...Maybe it's time for a new one, there, too?

Maybe build a more appropriate flower-logo emblazoned fence.

Behind Earth Station? I don't think there were ever any railings there.

Yeah, they were the same style as the old fountain railings. Last time I remember seeing them was July 2008.

Thank you for this. Nice to know... :lookaroun

Yep, there were. They would guard the EC Logo...when it was there.

Yep! Green and barred. Hope we get the new ones soon.
