Still looks like cr@p. A lot of dirt, wheel barrows, survey stakes, buckets etc.
There are workers there working on….. something? Can’t blame the workers, it’s not their fault they are working on this turd of an ( attraction? )

I think I will go and check out the “PolyDay Inn DVC” thread. They are working at break neck speed to get that done, because MONEY.

Dude. I get that you hate this attraction, but are you seriously complaining about construction equipment being placed in an active construction site? I agree that it’s taken far too long to build what should be relatively straightforward aside from complex water effects, but still. It’s really not necessary for you to dish out the same tired insults to this attraction every time we get new photos.

Where did the SSE spotlights that were on top of communicore NW end up going?
I remember them being on a temporary pole after they demo'd the building but I can't find them anymore
I was expecting them to be on the water pump area

World of Motion was full of other attractions/exhibits too, and of course the original ImageWorks at the Imagination Pavilion was fantastic for kids (plus the theater is there).

I think Horizons and Universe of Energy were the only pavilions that didn't have other activities in the original Future World. And Spaceship Earth I guess, but I never really thought of it as a pavilion -- it did have things after the ride but they were mostly guest relations etc.

It's one of the reasons EPCOT's capacity has plummeted since those days; they've eliminated so much of that extra stuff.

Exxon sponsored the interactive area in Communicore. The idea was after a 45 minute show/ride guests wouldn't be interested in playthings right away.

When thinking through what could have been added, my thought on Energy was the addition of small exhibits demonstrating different energy sources in the first room. Lit glass cases maybe 3'x3'. It's a 17 minute wait between shows, a lot of sitting around in an empty black room. Exhibits beforehand while waiting would be a solution to this. Probably smart not to add afterward.

I don't think the wait between shows was that long. There was an 8 minute pre-show that took up part of that time.

Will Moana meet here/near here? I’m surprised she hasn’t replaced L&S at Poly?

Moana hasn’t done M&G outside of MVMCP in recent years. I think she used to also meet @ MNSSHP.

I did a quick search before hitting that and that was the number I got. I figured that was between the previous audience leaving and the movie starting. That including the film would make more sense since there's an audience in the first theatre, one going through the ride, one in the second theatre, and one in the entrance. 4x17 would leave plenty of extra time.

I’ve been asking ChatGPT for suggestions on how to improve Epcot and pretty much all of its ideas have been better than this.

I like how this area will break up the concrete wasteland that was this central hub of Epcot. I hope people are pleasantly surprised when this opens.

It will not do this. Moana will not be accessible from the hub.

You have a good point. I will work on more creative insults to this attraction.

I will have plenty of time at the pace they are working on this. <----- hey, does that count?

Naaa I have to do better, I will work on it..

Well, I tried…

There will be plenty of green in the central hub....

Moana, the journey of Florida water through a very sophisticated pumping/filtering array that looks more like a fracking plant.

So now you're complaining that the pump machinery (that will be hidden from guest view) isn't pretty?

It seemes like a lot of plumbing for what it will eventually be doing if/when its ever completed and opens.

Does it? What, in your opinion, is the right amount of plumbing for what it will be doing?

My favorite part of Splash Mountain has always been the correct amount of backstage plumbing
