News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[jrhwdw]

Anyone hoping for at least 1 Epcot Center Logo Flag? like the concept art?

Who wants to tell them about the flag colours?

I am sincerely scared about the new main entrance soundtrack. An updated soundtrack with EPCOT music in it would be spectacular. A Disney soundtrack would detract from the history they are trying to emphasize.
I am really excited about the new entrance though. Hopefully Innoventions west will be gone soon enough.

I saw one in the first picture.

The logo colors? They were all changed as part of the overhaul? Or am I missing something?

white is a color... did the concept art show something different? I don't remember.
I will say this is the best entrance to EPCoT Center I've seen in a while. Very impressive!

You can see the new ring of light behind them too. Should look great!

Imag should be purple. Motion navy blue. And there’s a blue SSE.

This front entrance renovation looks amazing. What a stark contrast to the "mistake on the lake" unfolding in World Showcase! It's hard to believe the same company is simultaneously responsible for both.

Right but that did change:

I really don't mind the colors.

The colors were all changed with the overhaul. For better or worse

If anything, the colors are all tied to a area of the park now.
Reds/oranges/pinks=World Discovery
Greens=World Nature
Blues/puples=World Celebration (for those that like to argue it for whatever reason, Imagination IS in World Celebration)
Yellow=WS

oh man, I'm waiting for the new music....could be good, could be not so good....

[dreday3]

okay, okay, that snippet is sounding promising!

Do we know for sure it's the new permanent entrance BGM today? I seem to remember previous years had festival specific music in the entrance plaza, and F&G does start today.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see Ridley specifically mentioned the new music in his Instagram post.

 

[trainplane3]

It's sounding like it's based off the opening music of the Epcot experience. That's a good thing. So far

 

[mightynine]

I think those flags would pop a little more if the background was a solid color and the icons white, though perhaps the new nighttime lighting prompted the white.

As much as I’ve grumbled elsewhere about Epcot, the redone entrance does look good.

Unfortunately, from what we can tell, the new Entrance BGM is composed entirely of preexisting material. Which I find to be ridiculous.

There better be a World Celebration loop that actually reflects the park it represents. You know, with themes from the attractions......
