Thank goodness.
@wdwmagic has set up two separate threads for us to talk about the WoL Play Area and the "Experience Center". See here....

I understand the monies were allocated to the Guardians Box because they grossly underestimated the cost and volume of "Go Away Green" and "Sky Blue" paint needed.

Oh it is a serious idea amongst some of us. Getting it considered by Disney is the challenge.
Perhaps it's a boxy reimagining of the, um, I'm guessing, Shamu show tank in the lower left? I mean, Sea World has announced they are getting rid of the show down the road...
Yeah, that seemingly vague aqua stadium is sorta where the box next to the Imagination pyramid is in the new artist's concept. In the older art, it's inside the monorail loop, in the the new art, it seems to be outside.
But, there's a whole lot of vagueness in both, and probably purposefully so.

Depends on a lot of things: vendor scheduling, weather, materials and ops all affect construction scheduling. Also depends on when it gets going. If they get going in the spring, yes, it could be wrapped up within a year or sooner, if things go smoothly. Summer storms can slow things down a bit. The SSE footprint still being worked on also might impinge on scheduling, but they can get going on the rest of the plaza and work around for the first half of the project if needed.

Thanks. I agree it's time for an "Epcot Redevelopment" sub-forum.

Are they planning to rearrange the entrance so monorail riders don’t have to do back checks twice?
I'm 100% with you on that. A modern one that gets rid of the worst stereotypes of the old one, stops replacing peoples with their animals, has a more varied score, perhaps even using Tokyo's Sinbad type puppets, and more emphasis on world peace, and a ceiling that's not obvious acoustical tile.
Then IaSW in MK can be demo'd to open up an access point to all that undeveloped land behind HM.
We believe that's already under construction.
When did that start?!?! No word was said about that when were talking Skyliner Security in the Skyliner thread!
I asked about Epcot Monorail Security and it was tied to Epcot Buses somehow.
Because it has nothing to do with the Skyliner?

Only a single tap of Beverly. It’ll be a mandatory aperitif on your way in the park to help cleanse your mental palette and forget what Epcot once was

But seriously though...I hope Disney sees that to a lot of people, this is something that’s just as exciting as a new ride. Why? It’s what made it work in the first place and why people like myself have a fondness for Epcot since as a kid in the ‘80s...It’s the ambiance of Epcot as a “Park” in the sense of enjoying the space around you...visually, auditory, etc...I hope this is to continue through the spine of Future World...

They have been building in that area for a while, and someone recently said they were told by a CM that this is what was being built. I still am not sure if there is confirmation of this.
