I’m actually quite excited about this...big water maze?

If only. A perfect addition for Magic Kingdom. Not too late!

Close ‘er up!

I’m glad to hear about this work being done. I know it’s not a popular opinion around here but I’m of the mind that if this done well that it will be a nice (low level) addition and compliment the “nature” side of the part nicely. With an IP mandate in place, this will probably be as ideal as possible way to use an IP without being overwhelming

So, @MansionButler84 , construction has commenced, eh?

Maybe they’re just digging a hole and letting it fill with rain water.

Its a shame this idea wasn’t used in Animal Kingdom. An aquatic nature/ wildlife area with a Polynesian island theme would have been a great fit for that park IMO

Heck I would even be ok with Moana and Polynesia taking over the African Outpost in World Showcase since Africa is more represented in AK. Plenty of room there for the water walk through and more. I know some will disagree but its still better than directly in Future World.

I just want the new Partners Statue in Epcot as shown in concept...

Since the front entrance of the Poly is down to the dirt, wouldn't that area have benefited from something like this a tad better than EPCOT? I mean, it's not like they just remodeled the rooms of the Poly to a Moana theme or anything...

I just want the front half of the park to be a park!

Hmm:

PROS:

• Moana deserves to be in the parks and people born after 2003 will be thrilled to see it
• Better than current small piles of dirt. Probably. Probably better than piles of dirt.
• Water is fun
• Not tacos

CONS:

• Communicore destruction seems unnecessary in a gigantic park with tons of empty space?
• Should this even be at Epcot? No, right?
• Takes up a huge amount of Future World without addressing capacity issues
• Wait, seriously, what is this attraction? Is someone ever going to tell us?

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Looks very plausible but I wouldn’t get too excited either way.

April 2020 was a fun time. Guess that wasn't so plausible after all, huh?

Not every person born after 2003.

Not every person born after 2003.

Yes, not everyone likes the same things.

Some of us would've rathered the rotting building sit there untouched for a little while longer until an inevitable shift in management that might've seen the value of the thing

Always seemed like Comunicore would have been perfect for a dark ride of some kind. Maybe something themed to "What's Next?" as a continuation of CoP. Definitely needs a robot butler and machine that robotically cuts your hair... We could name as something looking out to the ends of the earth. What would be a good name for that?

I hope The Zach considers the coconut as he builds this.

He is the Coconut!

Seriously this belongs in the Animal Kingdom...somewhere near the NEMO show... It should actually take the Chester and Hester area...Do a Polynesian Islanders village, some nature and Pacific Tidal Pool exhibits with this as the lead in...Then add a volcano coaster type attraction to the back of the area.
