Didn't the buildings shapes also follow this same idea? Well defined shapes verses loosely defined shapes?
Maybe I'm missing something, in the whole hard v. soft left v. right dynamic, why was Motion round and Imagination angular?

Motion is a Wheel, Imagination is meant to evoke crystals and prisms (i.e. all the colors of the rainbow)
That's not accurate today.
DHS is (very) roughly a billion and a half including infrastructure. Epcot very roughly a billion give or take what gets built vs what doesn't. Could be a bit less, could be quite a bit more.
MK.... jury's still out. 6-700 mil as a ballpark. Again I'm being deliberately vague.

I would have though Imagination would be round, like the windmills of my mind, you know, round, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning, on an ever-spinning reel, like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon, like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon, like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face, and the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space, like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind, like a tunnel that you follow, to a tunnel of its own, down a hollow to a cavern, where the sun has never shone, like a door that keeps revolving, in a half-forgotten dream, like the ripples from a pebble, someone tosses in a stream, like a clock whose hands are sweeping, past the minutes of its face, and the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space, like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind, keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head, why did summer go so quickly?, was it something that you said?, lovers walk along a shore, and leave their footprints in the sand, is the sound of distant drumming, just the fingers of your hand?, pictures hanging in a hallway, and the fragment of a song, half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?, when you knew that it was over, you were suddenly aware, that the autumn leaves were turning, to the color of his hair?, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning, on an ever-spinning reel, as the images unwind, like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind.

Vekoma's prototype is cool but it seems like it's getting a lot of hype.
Building shapes were more closely linked to their individual themes.
SSE... obvious.
Energy.... something powerful and forceful seeming to push out of the ground
Horizons.... a gem. A spaceship. A futuristic, symmetrical shape.
Motion... a wheel.
Communicore - the community core, surrounding and radiating outwards from the heart of the park.
Imagination... the pyramids were the key. Originally the building was symmetrical but as operational designs changed the building somewhat grew to accommodate the layout of the interior. The theatre was always an annex.
The Land... again, symmetrical from the front. A mountain overlooking a plateau below (before the foliage hid it all)
The Seas... swirling, organic wave shapes around the central tank.

Oh yes, and it's more than just three circles. His eyes and nose are there too - and I think the tongue is at the theater front door.
This one perhaps?

Seems like it would be perfect for GotG: The flying position is for when you are or with Star Lord flying through space in the dark indoor section and then you have the outdoor parts.
No outdoor section.

It's sad that they are more or less abandoning this premise.

Will it blend in well enough to so that I don't have to acknowledge it's existence.

I know, but it was harder to draw freehand on the computer without being able to see the shapes. I figured the three circles were enough to get the idea.

Will there be any reference, beyond an engraved nautilus on a rock face, to the current attraction? Will they do anything with energy or education about energy?
We'll find out in three years.
