Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[MisterPenguin]

Video yesterday of a good amount of water flowing under the construction walls yesterday. Not sure if leaks or if things will just be splashing and running down walkways but not a good sign imo

Water is on a journey!

Do they seriously need cast member previews for this? Just open it up.

I am sure some checking for patterns on how people move through the area/where backups may happen. Plus just safety checks and communication .... Plus just gives a little perk to CMs

Definitely don't think it needs like months of testing like Tron or anything but can see why want a small preview

They apparently think this is some major attraction.

What’s next, previews for bathroom refurbs

When water runs out from underneath the walls, they check for blood.

It’s still a work in progress. You would be crying around if they open it up and its not even finished

Ok when has Disney not treated the opening of something as the next coming of Christ? They practically throw a parade when they install a drinking fountain.

Plus a price increase because they are giving us so much more

They should lower prices as a result of launching JoW.

I will never get over how the Disney Parks Blog fake quoted Josh D'Amaro, describing the new interactive water fountain in ToonTown as "the magic of Disney storytelling", or hanging lanterns from a tree and stating that it was inspired by Walt Disney.

Its only funny because it's true.

Disney is really doing a disservice to hype this up because it’s literally an interactive water feature and I’ve heard people walk by it thinking it’s a ride!

People think Potter rides are also at WDW.

What do you want them to do? Not promote it?

They have never portrayed it as anything other than an interactive walking path

Actually yes... Let it quietly open as part of the revitalized central core and let it go... They far too often lean on "over promise and Under- deliver"...when they need to do the opposite. Don't hype it... let guests discover it as a little magical detail instead of screaming about their new attraction that will just disappoint after the heavy marketing....
because let's face it, no one is going to plan a trip to EPCOT to see this...

These are the symptoms of the same cause.

People remember a time where A Disney theme park would open a new ride consistently every two years.
EPCOT is still lacking on rides.(don't try and argue this, we have not netted many)
This exhibit took longer than many rides to produce.
Universal builds attractions at the rate Disney theme parks used to.
