Something I've been meaning to discuss, and I hope and pray this does not lead to thread bashing. :dazzle:
When I went to Epcot earlier this month, something smacked me in the face that hadn't before....it wasn't the wand over spaceship earth, the stars on spaceship earth or leave a legacy....:snore: ....it was Future World itself!
My question is to you folks here at WDWMAGIC......is Future World obsolete or part of obsoletecot?
Going back to the fundamentals of EPCOT Center and what is on the dedication plaque...even though change must happen...and people want a better blend of edutainment and entertainment *I mean this by old school EPCOT and new school Epcot*
It seems to me that Future World not only is no longer about the future....it's a joke in itself...and a slap in the face to the Imagineers who designed the foundation for Future World when they designed EPCOT Center.
No I don't want all out scientific rides,etc but can we not have future world attractions that entertain inform and inspire and give us hope not for today but for TOMORROW...after all EPCOT is the only world's fair many of us americans will ever see in our life. I can't just go see one oversea to see a world's fair nor am I old enough to have seen one in the USA......and the last one was in 1984! :lookaroun
My observations are as follows:
Spaceship Earth's ending needs bling and hope and optimism and some day I'm sure seimens will do that as with the developing post show.
Innoventions is usually coming up with new and exciting exhibits.
The seas seem to be a joke for future world and more like a Fantasyland extension rather than nemo and friends "edutaining" guests about the seas.
The land seems relevant with living with the land and circle of life, and soarin' celebrates the splendor of the land
I have no idea what Imagination means anymore with future world....the idea of using your imagination and discovering tomorrow seems obsolete here...
Test Track while fun is the auto zone of the 90s
Mission:Space is very Future World!!! :sohappy:
Wonders Of 1989 needs help or a new attraction(s)
but to me....I was struck by the Universe of Energy....the first time I saw UoE was in 1996 when Ellen's energy adventure was brand new....seeing it over the years and especially in 2007 really shows how the UoE could really have a grand and entertaining futuristic show once rehabed.
Just wondering what other people think about future world... :wave:
