Yeah, I wish I at least knew where he gets his info...

All you need to know is that a lot of these things he has said here have gone on to be confirmed, so his sources are solid.

Thanks! I've been browsing here for quite some time now, but I just took the time to make an account. It's great to be here!

Great pictures! I see they've already built access stairs for the attraction, and it looks like there is somebody up at the top of the extra frame for theming that sticks out from the building.

Wow they're really tearing down the house

you could see inside the UOE building tonight with lights on inside. Definitely completely gutted except the frame. They are digging inside the building.

The two buildings would have been linked.

What do you mean digging inside?

Clearly searching for some original ideas for Epcot. Unfortunately they’ve been unsuccessful as they’ve excavated one pavilion at a time over the years.

In all seriousness I assume they mean that they’re replacing much of the floor inside the building. Doesn’t look like they’re leaving anything other than the walls, it’s a wonder they’re still standing.

Energy had two turntable pits and a service / evac tunnel under the diorama. I assume they’re being filled in.

Travesty.

I really hope in my lifetime that they can right the ship at some point. Hopefully GotG won't be well received and someone with a brain gets in a leadership position at WDW Parks has the guts to go back to their roots. Sklar must be rolling in his grave at what IPcot has become.

Unfortunately, GotG will be crazy popular. It probably won't increase overall resort attendance, but it will be one of the most popular attractions at Epcot. With GotG and Tron opening at near the same time and Rat being still fresh I would expect to see overall resort attendance get a significant bump in 2021.
