The issue is however, that Disney could spend hundreds of millions on creating rides which showcase technology, but the follow up to a kids excitement and wonder of what they have seen would not be another trip to Epcot, it would be getting out their phone and looking things up on the Internet. It's a major cultural shift that Disney just can't compete with.
It's been mentioned on here a few times and in various other places, but I truly believe they should give up on the 'future world' tag and focus 'Discovery'. The very notion of future world just sets it up for a fail from the off, when you have 80s/90s relics like UOE headlining the park.
I personally don't mind character tie ins if done well. I cannot for the life of me see what Nemo adds to the party; but a trackless dark ride exploring and encouraging thought about the depths of imagination and emotion using the characters of inside out? Sign me up! An innovations celebrating and promoting design entrepreneurs, celebrating individual success stories of the past, told with the help of Big Hero 6...it could work whilst adding to the pavilion it is in..if done well. This will sound like hell to many people, but Epcot in my opinion can no longer be what it used to be and I don't think it's all Disneys fault.
