Journey Into Imagination refurb.

[xstech25]

I rode the original version of Imagination and thought it was strange and lame, still do about the current version. The 3D film's next door have been equally as lackluster. I hope the whole building gets razed sometime soon and replaced with a better attraction.

this is kinda weird but since people are posting pictures of the old building does anyone have an old picture of the fountains?? were they there?? like the pyramid ones
i need it for webcomic research

Same as today. Just the plastic bubble was replaced with the clear framework.

You can just see the top of the upside down fountain on the left.

And the leapfrogs were just like today. Just with a better paint job.

You'll be sad to know that's not on the cards.

Looks like concept art for Downtown Disney..You can clearly see two things that are there...
Rainforest Cafe's Volcano..

And Planet Hollywood's Planet Structure...

And from what appears to have the idea that the Monorail "Was" To expand there at one time....

Can this thread die so my heart doesn't have to take the constant updates of no real future for this pavilion

Imagine EPCOT 3.0 in the future...

Westcot?

Westcot?

It would be interesting to see if DLR would ever consider Westcot for their third theme park.

Thank God, the original building is spectacular, with a reinvigorated attraction and refreshed landscaping and 21st century fountains, Imagination could be amazing again... Also an updated lighting package on the building (LED Pixels on the gridwork?) could make this an amazing after dark visual!

I'd very very much doubt it.

@marni1971 can you speculate any type of time frame for any part of the EPCOT project that seems to be lurking?

Nothing I can talk about at the moment I'm afraid.

I figured it was worth a shot, but I understand your position. As it stands now, it seems like we will be happy with the plans - is that safe to say?

All I can say is things will be addressed but it's not EPCOT Center.

I'll assume that when you say this...that you mean it won't be anything comforting to die-hard Epcot fanboys?

That's what I'm thinking as well, but seriously any love for EPCOT has to be an improvement at this point, right?

I tried to show EPCOT some love, and security escorted me off the premises!

I think the latest color scheme is great, but only if they were to open a Howard Johnson hotel to the pavilion.
