Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[TTA94]

given the substantial water pumping/filtration station built to accompany it, I would assume JoW will have a lot of moving water throughout the walkthrough. Looks like it will be open pretty soon so we shall see!

Heh are they really going to be filtering the water from all the nasty sweaty germy people playing in it? Hahaha.

I am am curious what the area will look like at night. Hopefully the water features will light up.

I feel absolutely positive they will....

Unless the powers that he have a change of heart, we won’t see JoW open until the fall.

This really looks like it’s almost done

10 years from now those trees will have doubled in size, I think it'll be really nice. Throw in some nice lighting at night and bam.

it actually looks really cool, doesn't fit the aesthetic of futureworld but in adventureland I'd be kinda-sorta excited for this.

Why this trend toward W I D E walkways? I know we can't have intimate environments on the level of Tom Sawyer caves or Swiss Family trees, but surely they can find a way to make interesting nooks and crannies that are ADA compliant.

Because a crap ton of people visit the parks?

Eh, that's what a queue is for!

For capacity. Squeeze more people in

Why not create an interesting, compelling, and attractive experience? People will queue for it!

 

[Fear]

People will queue for it!

Given that the company can effectively monetize the park touring experience for guests to alleviate or eliminate the need to queue, I would go ahead and say that no, they wouldn't.

From one of my favorite BNL songs, "Some Fantastic":

I can't stand to wait in line long,
so I built a new machine.
It just measures up the distance
and then eliminates some folks between.

Because it costs money and requires imagination, things TWDC is short on for Orlando.

If you take the walkway next to the attraction, you can hear the water running through it. Oftentimes during Epcot Forever, the whole attraction changes color with all of the lights.

Though, I don’t think it’s a lighting package as much as Disney just testing the RGB LED lamps and whatnot.

Definitely lack of imagination and creativity, money? Meh.
