WhateverI don't have the energy to research what you think you saw... my posts are here to see.
Yes, and everyone here that is all for old Epcot are missing this is well done and edjutainment like old Epcot. Not everything has to be a top ride, experiences that are fun and educational are important as wellTheme parks are more than just 'is it cute or fun?'
Main entrance and exit are directly toward Seas and Land. Its perfectly fine where it is, vs. empty building they weren't using.Then I would have connected it in some fashion to the massive honkin pavilions around it... the one about the land, and the one about the sea. Instead... we get rando Polynesian side-bar here. With little connectivity between it and the area it is surrounded by. Like a mall kiosk.
Again, you know the cost? Want to share?Enjoy your bone...
I'd rather see this kind of massive investment into something of better substance.. and scale down this 'journey of water' into the small display it should have been. Instead of spending tens of millions on this, build this small and do something of interest.
Never said they did... but you should RIGHT SIZE things. No one wants a WoD sized gift shop at every ride exit, no matter how nice it is or looks.. that doesn't mean you don't think gift shops are nice or needed, but DO IT RIGHT.Again, theme parks don't exist ONLY on rides.
I happen to think this is the best part of the revamp, but opinions are just that.Never said they did... but you should RIGHT SIZE things.

I don't think this was a good application of resources for what it is. Way over built, disjointed, and ultimately going to be praised for a spot to cool off on hot days and otherwise ignored by repeat visitors.. unless you have children under 10. Yes we need things for those audiences... just RIGHT SIZE THEM and put them where it makes sense.
This is going to the long standing wart from this aborted EPCOT re-design flop.
Quoting myself to move this up since it got lost on previous pages. Anybody have any thoughts on if there will be a soft opening for regular guests the week before this officially opens?So what are the chances this will be soft open the week before it officially opens? We will be there the week before and my kid absolutely loves Moana so I’m kinda bummed we will be missing this by one week
I'll take this over anything they could have put in the building that used to be at this location.I happen to think this is the best part of the revamp, but opinions are just that.
As for right sized, how much space does a walk through attraction that covers the circle of the water cycle deserve? It isn't that large, and IMO it has been very well done.
I think this is a reasonable question. Often they will soft open attractions in the days leading up to official opening. And the DVC/AP previews are a solid month before the opening date.Quoting myself to move this up since it got lost on previous pages.

They may soft open it unannounced for a few hours here and there and if you are around you may get in maybe? I remember they did that for SSE a million years ago.I think this is a reasonable question. Often they will soft open attractions in the days leading up to official opening.

I'd hope they will but personally have no idea. I went on Minion Blast about 5x before they even started with the AP previews there. However, they waited on the official previews for that until much closer to the official opening.

They did a similar thing at Star Tours when is was redone years ago.They may soft open it unannounced for a few hours here and there and if you are around you may get in maybe? I remember they did that for SSE a million years ago.
I feel like I can remember threads in years past about random openings like that for other newer attractions at HS? Hopefully they will do that for this one too since they are already do the other previews...They may soft open it unannounced for a few hours here and there and if you are around you may get in maybe?

I remember when Toy Story Land randomly opened one night! We saw it all lit up on ToT and got on Slinky Dog Dash at a 20 minute wait! I like the previews, but I will always miss the random soft openings. Cavalcades were the best when they were “random”. Completely unexpected, and while they are not on par with a normal parade, they felt more magical.I feel like I can remember threads in years past about random openings like that for other newer attractions at HS?
