EPCOT Is the End of Innoventions Near?

[trainplane3]

Are the tunnels under innoventions being demolished as well? I would assume so since they are a part of the foundation and would not really serve much of a purpose any more but figured I would ask.

I've been wondering the same too.

Gotta remember this is going to sit (roughly) on top of the tunnel and have an elevator as well. It would make sense to keep the tunnel and link it up with the Wunder Table. They'll need to still transport various things to the Table somehow, right?

The tunnel is still used for break areas, storage, and easy access from the Guardians area to Starbucks (originally UOE to Communicore West). I assume it’s staying.

Seems like the start of a new shortcut path. No?

yep..seems the rumours are true that soon all guests will be moved to the sides of future world for work in the middle. probably why the walls in front of Guardians don't extend all the way across. because the guest flow will be right by that Joffreys coffee stand. also why they are expanding the path on that one side near test track which isn't an issue on the other side.

why do so many keep calling the moana water thing an attraction?? its just a walk through garden/waterfall. what am I missing?

Disney considers pretty much anything an attraction that is not a show, shop or restaurant. Leave a Legacy was considered an attraction.

Because walkthroughs are attractions. Attraction doesn't equal ride.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Osborne Lights and Tarzan/SFR Treehouse are also walk through attractions.

As is fireworks.

And DL fountain. As was Fountain of Nations.

Anything's a walk-through attraction if you're brave enough

So then will the front plaza be an attraction? Will the security line also be considered an attraction? the sidewalk between countries will also be an attraction as will any queue for anything...
I love this game.
Then we can take the Bus Attraction to the car park attraction...and drive the long Enchanted Turnpike Attraction home....

your correct. Disney marketing is back to their late 90s tricks of marketing water fountains as attractions and people now have just conditioned themselves to accept the bs

This isn't new. It's been this way for decades.

Wow! That is possibly the most 90’s thing I’ve ever seen. I never thought the essence of an entire decade could be encapsulated in one AA, but somehow Disney did it with Alec Tronic. Bravo Disney. Bravo.

AlecTronic was arguably the best part of Innoventions. I remember watching for hours one visit. Very entertaining.

As for Epcot, I recently watch a piece on how StarWars 4-6 told a story and 7-8 (and possibly 9) wander aimlessly. I believe the same thing has happened with the park.

Epics drift into disjointed pieces in the absence of a strong visionary leader who can pull it all together. So I wonder where Epcot is heading?

Just waiting for the restroom facilities to be marketed the same way...

 

[tirian]

I too, am what you would call an "attraction". Just look at how dreamy I am.

They tried that back in the mid–late 00’s, with recorded Stitch spiels playing in the Adventureland and Tomorrowland restrooms. At some point, someone realized it was a bad idea to encourage guests to use specific restrooms for a voiceover.
