Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[Disstevefan1]

Calling it a splash pad, even a 'glorified' one is just absurd. Are the dancing fountains by Imagination just a glorified splash pad?

I like the dancing fountains. It's still fun to watch and I have always wondered how they did it, what nozzles did they use, what water pressure, etc. and it's fun to block the streams it with your hands.

One thing is for sure, it will have taken LESS time to build the dancing fountains (And ALL OF EPCOT) than it will for Moana.

I know, I know, Yada, Yada, pandemic, Yada.

I wish Bio would explain why they’re using big blocks of foam.

The forums at Sporslogos.net has an eyeroll as a possible reaction. I wish we had that here. I find it much more useful in this setting. Sad and Angry are rather extreme emotions and even my thought of using them to represent "disappointment" and "annoyance" keep bothering me with the thought of it looking as though there is a much deeper emotion.

How will the pumping area be hidden?

I'd love for the capper on this to be Aquatopia between the Land and Seas pavilion.

In a box surrounded by trees...

The more photos I see of this the more I think this is a great addition ... for Animal Kingdom. It looks like someone cut and pasted it into EPCOT in an effort to fill a space and add some greenery. They could have gone a long way by at least giving it a more modern look. Hopefully it will at the very least be somewhat educational.

I honestly thought that people were reposting the same pictures because of the focus on foam.

Any thoughts on how/if these structures will be camouflaged? They sit pretty close to walkways and aren't "backstage".

It reminds me of a fracking plant....

He mentioned foam again. Take a shot!

Huh. I'd wondered how rain would be depicted. I wonder if it's the water coming from Te Fiti's hands. Or perhaps that's meant to be runoff from the mountains.

Based on his pose, I think his tears are from the "aftermath" of eating at Connections.
