I agree with your assessment that Epcot is the greatest theme park ever conceived and constructed, and for the most part, I just do not think the public really understood it. General public: "Horizons... a 20 minute attraction with most elaborately themed and grandest scope ever achieved...EWW! "Give me something that spins really fast for 2 minutes." "Now me happy"
However, the current state of Epcot is worse and continues to become worse each year. WoL shuttered for over a decade, Energy shuttered until 2021, Innoventions currently shuttered, Odyssey shuttered, Imagination shortened by 50% and not maintained, elimination of a tour guide in LwtL, Imagination Pyramid shuttered, SE lost its decent in favor of the Jetsons, fan friendly characters now teach us Mexican culture in "El Rio Del Tiempo", and an Ice princess teaches us Norwegian culture inside her Frozen palace. Not to mention that Imagination and LwtL both close promptly at 7:00pm in an effort to get me to leave a shell of FW and booze it up in the WS.
If you think that theme cohesion is currently poor at HS, just spend a day walking around Epcot. If one with no knowlege of the history Epcot was truly paying attention to their surroundings, they would wonder what the theme currently is and what it was meant to be all at the same time. It is such a mess and sad for what was once the most inspirational park in history.
If as one poster mentioned Epcot does not currently make the top 25, it makes perfect sense to me (attempt to tie my rant into the theme of the thread).
Sorry for the rant, I just miss EPCOT.
