I saw it in person tonight and I actually think it looks totally fine. It blocks the mural, but the mural was already ruined anyway. Otherwise it looks pretty seamless with the pavilion.

Con: It's too big. It adds more clutter to FW.
Pro: I somewhat like the design. It looks better suited to Sea World than EPCOT, but I see what the designers were aiming for and how they tried to work with the existing environment.
Not that any of it matters. The mural was ruined as is anyway, with the imbecile cartoon fish taking the place of the gorgeous, artistic, evocative sunset.
Also, fastpasses in EPCOT are not installed to solve current line issues, but to create the possibility to sell places in lines.

I thought that was a sunrise.
Anyway I agree Empress. Bring back the original mural with LED's.

In my heart, I would like to think that the beauty of the mural is that we are both right. Even moreso, that the mural reflects what the viewer sees in it. If you see a sunrise, then I want it to be a sunrise for you.
It is a personal encounter with a piece of art that is abstract, at least heavily stylised.
That's the thing, eh? A cartoon fish can only mean that specific cartoon character. But the stylised sunrise/set can mean so much more, evokes endless hopeful sunrises and romantic sunsets. So many different Horizons, over so many seas, a personal one for each one of us.
'Horizons' - the connection with the pavilion of that name isn't random! EPCOT Center's aethetics expressed its ideas. There was a uniformity about the place, even a uniformity of form and content. The horizon in the mural of The Living Seas was very much connected to the pavilion named Horizons. And to the space horizon mural underneath SSE, and the one in the Land, and even Imagination, and the depictions of hopeful horizons in the finales of Energy and Motion.
But people didn't get it.

Until you see it in person you can only judge by the picture posted here, which isn't fair. In person it looks a whole lot better.
As far as money being spent on "stupid" things instead of where it's really needed, I don't think people understand that Disney isn't going to be running out of money anytime soon.

I may be too technical but since the mural faces east I considered it a sunset.In my heart, I would like to think that the beauty of the mural is that we are both right. Even moreso, that the mural reflects what the viewer sees in it. If you see a sunrise, then I want it to be a sunrise for you.

Hi I believe that Canopy was once there before and is put there for the Cast Member to stand under obviously but because of the stormy weather in the summer months.

I certainly know that Disney isn't going to run out of money anytime soon, but from the way they operate the WDW Resort and how they choose to allocate funding, they certainly don't act like it.

Am I the only person that realizes it doesn't resemble the curves or form of the building in any way shape or form? They decided to make it a random wave. That doesn't help it blend into its surroundings at all.

Even if that was the reason for its existence, a noble function does not necessarily excuse a poor aesthetic.Hi I believe that Canopy was once there before and is put there for the Cast Member to stand under obviously but because of the stormy weather in the summer months.
No, you are not. I said as much earlier. Being curved does not make it wave-like and make it match.

If the mural faces east, you're looking west.And the sun sets in the west.

I don't think it looks that bad. It kind of looks like a wave or a fish tail or something so I think it goes well in that area. I do like it better than the umbrellas that they had out there. It will also protect the CM from the sun better. I guess they needed something with more substance for the fast pass machines too and this will work.

Perhaps it is a rogue wave.
