Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[Horizonsfan]

I don't recall the other icons being prominent on their respective attractions themselves. Instead, they're used as a 4th Wall wayfinder.

Prior to the late 90s dissolution of the logos they absolutely were.

Even more recently there’s the WOM logo reintroduced all over the place with TT’s 2012 remodel.

It seems odd to make a big deal about bringing them back, and then not include them in the JOW signage like back in the day, whether the main sign or secondary pieces. It’s especially peculiar when you look at the park symbol incorporation at the new plaza and the odyssey symbol in that pavilion’s remodel. Once again it feels like the JOW team worked independently of the other Epcot overhaul teams.

If you want, I can ask ops to put the wall back!!

That would be a blatant overreach of power from the president of Animal Kingdom.

They're ceding oversight of JoW to me since it should have been in DAK to begin with!!

Exactly It should have been in DAK or still on the shelf. Definitely not in Epcot and especially that location

I thought their goal was to transform Epcot into MK2 but now it’s part DAK now too. Maybe the Great Movie Ride will come next

Ironically, that would actually fit better than the others. (The legendary Film pavilion finally lives!)

Can they just put the walls back up ?

The themeing and everything about it is just ghastly.

Walt would hang his head in shame to see what they did to his beloved Epcot. It just makes no sense at all.

I think in the end my point is... the reasons, are the reasons, are the reasons. It's all much of a muchness to me. Who cares? Apart from how ugly Epcot has been, which IS an issue, how long something takes is such an annoying thing to constantly be brought up.

Maybe to learn lessons for the future?

In no way can one of your parks have so much of it closed off for nearly half a decade for utter nonsensity EVER AGAIN.

And for what? Rocks and trees.

It could've worked much better if they did not go the Polynesian route, but instead made the lampposts, signs and theming modern. It still could have featured Moana, TeFiti and the rocks and vegetation and all, but it would have fit the park much better and get less backlash I think.

You're right, he was spinning in his grave when EPCOT Center opened. How dare they turn his city of tomorrow into a glorified world's fair.

I'm old enough to remember when we were supposed to be excited about the Adventurers Club being replaced with seed & mulch.

Speaking of nature, but has nothing to do with the price of tea in China, look in the evening sky 15 minutes after sunset for the Blue Moon!

How to take a photo of August's 'blue supermoon'

Photographers and would-be-photographers will have the opportunity to take a picture of the first blue supermoon of the year, which is also the last one until 2037.

The walls coming down is the only thing I am looking forward to !!

Hyperion Wharf was so much fun.

Hyperion Wharf was so much fun.

Oh how certain everyone was that Hyperion Wharf was a real thing and it wasn't just imagineering throwing out blue sky ideas that they never ever had any intention of actually building.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Hyperion Wharf was so much fun.

So was the Main Street Theater, Play Pavilion, etc etc

Even in Hypothetical Land the Play Pavilion sounded pretty lame...
