they genuinely hate this purple thing at this point???? is it because there's no movie for him or the golf ball? genuinely what is with the lack of investment into epcot after they fixed an issue they caused?
the other parks are getting huge add ons after add ons along with redos, monsters, GE, tron, tiana, tropical americas, runaway railroad, cars, villains, and all epcot has gotten is...
-retheme of maelstrom
-rat clone
-uoe being gutted and turned into a coaster
-test track touched TWICE
-soarin' gots a new film
-a garden
-tearing up the middle of the park

I’m afraid it’s just the mentality that’s been there the past 20 years. The 20 + yr old bandaid was enough for them all those years ago. As long as people keep buying up that merch, nothing will ever happen

Well it’s official, I have given up all hope that D****y is gonna do imagination 4 or an update to spaceship earth. Disney is dead to me, no more original ideas, or caring about fixing old things, or listening to fans. It’s IP this and IP that. At this point I’d rather see them bulldoze the imagination pavilion than leave it as is. What a ing joke. There was no announcement that I felt was worthy of being made. Epcot is dead. And so is Disney imagineering.

Unfortunately, as long as Figment pushes merch, TWDC will not see a need to spend precious capital on fixing this ride. To them, the ride is fine - it operates, usually without issues, and moves people. Most importantly, into a gift shop. Until the ride itself ceases to function, management will see no need to touch it. I might sound all doom and gloom, but we all know that, in this new era of Disney, the only things that matter are merchandise sales and added revenue through things like LL multipass. Fixing a ride, simply for goodwill, does not create cash flow (well, I’d argue it does), thus management sees no value.

Unclear, but the SSE lounge just looks like another food and cocktail space, not necessarily DVC.

How can we verify if this is DVC? Nothing was implied in the presentation, but now I’m curious.

Ugh that’s a long time. I suppose we’ve gone this long already, but still… patience is a virtue.

It’s so frustrating. They can invest millions in rides that don’t work half of the time, but god forbid that poor Epcot gets an update to a 20+ year old attraction.

I guess having it exist in the current state is better than whatever half-baked idea Imagineering has right now.
