Rumor Is the End of Innoventions Near?

[jt04]

Keeping the original buildings while adding green space means less room for increasingly larger crowds. Likely a factor in the new design.

 

[jt04]

Adding a preview center must mean they have more to preview than the wdw-n-t drawing indicates. Take that drawing with more salt than the living seas.

IMO.

Apologies if this has already been answered, but @marni1971, is this new core greenlit or just the dominant concept now?

I get what you're saying, but I also get what he's saying. EPCOT for better or worse now has an identity of sorts with the Showcase. That's part of the unity, nations, etc. image. These new plans (beer gardens) are really turning EPCOT on its head and ruining what little identity it did have. I would love for the original idea of EPCOT to be realized, but we all know that will never happen. Not when you can make tons of money selling craft beer and turning EPCOT into Pleasure Island.

Complete with a "Quick, throw something at the nostalgics" Epcot-flavored revival of the Adventurers Club, home to a cabaret show of lost Epcot characters starring a Dreamfinder puppet singing the Beer Song.

For a change I didn't want something greenlit.

Well EF...

What preview center other than the Odyssey exhibition hall already announced?

@marni1971 do you know if the new buildings will look anything like the bluesky art they showed at d23 expo?

I’ve not seen them from the sides (assuming I know anything) although as I said that piece of art was not very accurate.

Thanks! I did like the feel and look of that art tbh and was hopeful for that style in the setup the park has now. But I’m really disappointed in the direction they’ve chosen to go in. I know it is what it is, but for some reason I find it very hard to accept..

Hmm, I wonder if there's a good Epcot model on Planet Coaster I can play with...

, can it be un-lit lol

Since this is what we're getting, I say make the most of it. Architecture-wise it won't be very hard for the new buildings to be more interesting and better looking than the Innoventions buildings currently are (sorry not sorry)

 

[ChrisFL]

I will miss the symmetry

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

This is such a huge mistake...

I was referring to the Odyssey

 

[MisterPenguin]

So, something like this...

@marni1971 , @Magic Feather , any suggested changes? Is Project Tomorrow going to be razed?

what are the overlapping shades of purpose about besides a festival center?

Dunno. It was in Mr. C's drawing. I'm guessing a water feature like the Odyssey overlooks water. The vague artist's concept had something aquatic looking in that place. We were joking it looked like a dolphin arena.
