[MickeyTigg]

Is the box cold, maybe its Walt?

[banimall]

Maybe it's a *** in a box, just like Saturday Night Live

 

[Captain Hank]

John Locke's evil father...or the mysterious smoke monster.:lookaroun

Nice!

 

[JWG]

Relocation of the Leave a Legacy sales booths and display... :dazzle:


(I made that up before someone takes it seriously)

 

[MickeyTigg]

It's the new Harry Potter attraction!

It is the beginning of phase one for the construction of the new monorail that will link Epcot with Beastly Kingdom.

its a large egg that either A. On thanksgiving afetr months of build up will be revealed as the gobbledygooker

That is some funny stuff. The gobbelygooker at WDW? Man that would mean Vince would be a partner? lol. :ROFLOL:

So... amid all of our Epcot-expertness, I can safely assume that none of us know what used to exist there?

Even though it was obviously physically attached to the ground?

I thought we knew everything *pouts*

I counted the panels, it has 6 panels facing toward SSE. It has only 4 facing toward Innoventions, and is 2-wide on each side. So, it makes a sort of trapezoid. They panels they use are like 4ft by 8ft, but the 2 panels added on the SSE side look smaller, like 3ft.

That's 22ft-ish, and 16ft for the long side, and 8ft for the width and it's 8ft tall.

So.. pictures...

Extra ginormous versions:

Any ideas yet? Or know what used to be there?

It's the "Official Epcot 25th Anniversary" Cannon. On Epcot's birthday, people will be allowed to take shots at the wand to make a million dreams come true.:lookaroun

Is there any legitimate speculation to what's going on there? The first couple witty remarks were funny, but it gets annoying when we're actually pursuing news, and everyone is trying out for a standup gig.

Fooey, someone stole my Harry Potter idea

But seriously, it looks to be the exact spot where the lights in the sidewalk are. Perhaps they are revamping that.

I'm on my way there today to figure out what "Characters in Bloom" is all about. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

 

[mousermerf]

No, the lights are to the north (toward SSE).

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

Well what used to be there was the boarder and landscaping area for the man made ponds that used to be between communicores east and west. Also this was near the former Teacher's Center that got demolished in the mid 90s...me thinks its either another planter....a water fountain...or a DVC booth...yes another one....you know....Disney's best kept secret.

 

[Gorjus]

Yes there are lights closer to spaceship earth, but there are also lights right in that pathway.

 

[daguru]

But the lights on that side a little more the right (when viewing the first image) and cover a little larger area....

Unless, there happens to be some electrical cables or somethign of that nature that have to be accessed at this point....

I agree with either another DVC booth or one of their temp/permanent food kiosks (like on the other side of the plaza)...

Is there a top on this "box" if not, maybe I can sneak a peek with an over the top camera shot. :lookaroun

-Sum

 

[lentesta]

If it's anything other than underground work, I'd be surprised. Anything permanent there looks like it'll impede traffic flow.

Maybe there hiding the ladder behind it.......

 

[bruiser659]

A new DVC hotel!!!:ROFLOL:

 

[gjpjtj]

Maybe there hiding the ladder behind it.......
