Is it? I worked pirates for just about 2 and a half weeks... I did notice that it seemed pretty darn thin from behind on the catwalks... Even the sides.

Just goes to show how much you can do with so little... Not everything has to cost millions of dollars.

The first rule of modern Disney spending: why pay for one when you can get 3/4 for four times the price?

I feel like Mel Gibson in Braveheart or the annoying boy in Old Yeller. "I miss you Epcot."

I mean, we’ve known this was the direction they were going for ages now. The corporate and international sponsors are waning while the IP sponsors are waxing.

If it was a ride it might move the needle a little bit.. This is just rocks and water. And yes... All he has is an instagram following.
It's not a ride.
The cycle of water is an earth science lesson we all learned in 5th grade. It's an edutainment attraction using a fictional character.
If you think fictional characters don't belong in EPCOT, write a strongly worded letter to Chapek regarding the Figment ride.

Might want to go back in time and erase the characters that were sometimes seen walking about in Epcot too.

I never said anything about fictional characters not belonging in Epcot, even though there weren't any on opening day save for Figment. Also, I am not sure this will be a lesson on water's journey. I suspect it will be a water feature enhancement of the jumping water in the Imagination pavilion.
And sorry "Attraction"

It is supposed to cover the water cycle. Given the new neighborhoods of Epcot, this would be an appropriate location for it within World Nature.
Now, being okay with this new direction of Epcot and its neighborhoods is another story...
Well, in defense of ""Epcot purists"", the original EPCOT was supposed to be devoid of all things considered "Disney IP" including Mickey Mouse, so much so, that there weren't even supposed to be any Hidden Mickey.
Which would've been fine if there were continued investment in the park to keep it growing and updated in that model. But the corporate sponsors mostly balked at underwriting that. As did Disney Corp.
And thus Disney IPs replaced corporate logos now that Disney was the corporate sponsor.

It is in Future World. Nope, not ok with it.

I am sorry but Future World no longer exists. Whether right or wrong, awesome or silly...that is the direction Disney has taken Epcot.
