EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[Epcot82Guy]

I guess I always felt like that was the plan. Drive up huge hype with the low capacity (look at the line/virtual queue!!!) From there, just let it naturally die off like all other walk throughs.

If all walk-thrus die off, why do MK and DL still have a tree house?

Must admit that interacting with water on hot days (of which there are many) sounds good.

P.S. Will there be precautions in place to prevent personal electronic devices from interacting with the water?

What sort of precautions are there for Casey Jr. back in Fantasyland? You can choose to get wet or you choose not to.

The crowds/lines will die off. Not the attraction itself.

I feel like after the intial crowds die down this will work like any other walkthrough attraction, like the Treehouse and Alice's Labyrinth at DLP, with not much control over capacity or time spent inside. Guests should be able to dictate how long they wanna stay inside

I'm thinking that there are interactive elements where you won't get wet, say something triggered by a hand movement, touch or step.
There may also be what I was certain there wouldn't be - that is a splash pad area.

The hilarious thing is that over in the Moana/Zootopia to DAK thread there’s a bunch of people arguing that Moana does not fit in DAK.

I was wondering where the non-mad people were.

 

[Bocabear]

if they were looking for the worst case scenario, they chose it...placing Moana in the hub of whatever they are calling the central court as you pass Spaceship Earth... Thematically so wrong in style for this park. Maybe if it was literally attached to the Living Seas... but it is not... It is near The Living Seas...but again so stylistically wrong... I am waiting for the Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday ride in Tomorrowland next...

Disney is confident guests will love this attraction.

Ehhhh, like would be more appropriate, "love" nahhh.

I think most people will. It’s the Disney purists who will complain to the end of time who wont

maybe that weird triangular shaped concrete form with the curved walls will have dryers like Universal Studios? I dunno Im just spitballing but maybe this JoW will have some spots that allow you to get soaked?

That's just a green island that will hold trees according to all artist concepts so far.

It isn’t in the site plan at all. It’s definitely more than just trees, they wouldn’t need concrete forms like that for trees

Let's make sure we're talking about the same thing...

That’s not where the current concrete forms even are. Also that’s not the site plan of what we’re getting.

I'll need someone to annotate a photo to help me understand what's being referenced.

Also, there's a site plan? Source?

The first is from the original site plan when the Festival Center was still in play and is outdated. For instance, the backstage path to the pump facility will not have an additional entrance as shown there. It already runs down the opposite side of the facility, as shown in the updated plan below. And as @tparris said, the second one is nowhere near where the forms are. That shows an additional blob attached to the planter in front of Coral Reef Restaurant that would narrow the entrance. I don't think that's actually happening. Here's the plan that is accurate with regard to everything else aside from this specific area, where neither the two large palms nor the terraced walls being poured are noted:

Could it be for a Gate of some sorts with a planter to get backstage?
