EPCOT Inventors Circle in FW West

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Does anyone know if the Inventors circle was sticking around or has this been removed? This was in FW West just at the center point of the plaza...

Here's a pic from Blogmickey to see what I am mentioning...

It’s still kind of there. Let me find the pic I took the other night.

Well, It's nice it's still there....How long however...I just have a feeling it will become a transition pathway for JoW..

I don't think it's really in the way of anything they're planning to change, so I think it's safe...hopefully

I don’t think that will last. I would be surprised if it did.

I hope it stays. Some way to remember the inventors who paved the way for so many of the innovations we now rely on in our daily lives and was integral to Disney even having the attractions it does is a good touch in my opinion.

I've always wondered how many guests even notice this feature during their visits to the World.

I really hope it stays, and if there were any planned changes, I would love to see more names added.

The new World Celebration concept art seems to show a new medium sized building in that space. I think the Inventors Circle is all but confirmed to be going. It was a great feature though.

I don't think many people understand who the names are or what they did.

If it goes, I hope it returns in some form in the World Celebration area. Would certainly fit.

Luckily it says what they did in the circle:

Too much thought required for reading. Moana requires less thought so it’s much more appealing.

Yes, Marie Currently was a physist but what did she do? Without Google today's kids have no idea.

In another thread I posted an aerial photo showing that they were actively protecting the part of Investor's Circle that's inside the constructions walls... which was a good sign.

I couldn't tell if that's still the case in the newer photos, though.

I agree that Inventor's Circle is wonderful, really capturing the (original) spirit of EPCOT.

Huh.......I have a justified reason now to actually use this clip of today's kids attention span..

So, it's been about 2 years since I posted on this little piece of the forgotten Innoventions past..But, did this get covered over by the Moana attraction?

I believe it was confirmed via Bioreconstruct's pictures that it has been removed.

Edit. Yeah, it's gone. They replaced it with something new and round - planter maybe?

Of course they did because why educate people in EPCOT? RIP Edutainment
