Eyes on EPCOT Center

[HMF]

Screens. In some remote corner of Innoventions. :lol:

How about that unused building near the entrance (The one with the glass doors with the Epcot logo on them.) and they can move that SSE 200 picture there where it would make more thematic sense. If we have special kiosks in there where you can have a "Virtual" Legacy Sculpture where you can do a search and find your picture. That way Disney can remove the LAL stones and not get sued.

^ Now, hold on a sec. I know it would be great to reuse that Group sales building again. But I like that my face is facing SSE. It's a "time capsule" for today and for tomorrow, and for future generations to enjoy. Call me a DoM if you want, but whilst keeping the marble structures, the virtual LAL could also work as well. Oh, and just remove the said LAL painting from the SSE legs if you really want to. But LAL is also a John Hench design from 1999. It's a visionary work of art in its own sense. If you want trees and shrubbery a la' 1982 EPCOT, first concentrate to the rest of FW. Needs more help than the entrance.

The tombstones/war memorial really needs to leave. The tan clashes with the blue/white/green and looks bad.

I say move CoP to WoL plot and put LaL up there.

In concept, yes. In execution? No. Braces up the plaza, looks depressing. Bring back the airy, light and welcoming green vista that USED to be there. Did you ever see it?

No, I have not ever seen the original plaza, and I feel its current entrance is fine. :lookaroun

But if it's really necessary, here's an idea to savor on: I have seen marble structures that has no tiles whatsoever, and the smallest stone intrude in the way of people. Why no rid those unused stones and then space it out more? :lookaroun

Dear oh dear.... the original was so much better. The current one is a hard, cold mess cleverly paid for by guests.

The plans for the new plaza do not include the tombstones. They will be going. It just depends on when TDO implement them.

The original was a lot better. What I miss is the sense of perspective. SSE seemed a lot bigger. The stupid things they put on the support legs to match the tombstones really annoy me.

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

But LAL is also a John Hench design from 1999.

Nobody bats a thousand.

And of course they're not going to keep it there for future generations. Do you really think they'll want Guests entering the park to be greeted by a bunch of long dead faces?

Three cheers for a new plaza without LaL! :sohappy:

Sorry, I'm a noob. What was EC's plaza like?

I'll see if I can find pics....

Long strips of grass/trees/flowers running the length if it,leading right to SSE.....beautiful...

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Sorry, I'm a noob. What was EC's plaza like?

To start off....

Notice how wide it is?

Let me find a few more...

 

[WDW Vacationer]

Doh! I forgot the fountain with monoliths!

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Lush, green, streamlined, airy and futuristic. Exactly how the entrance to EPCOT should be.


If it were to ever come back, I'd love to see some more water features.

Beautiful.
