I am going to miss the old entrance loop. Interested to hear the new one.

“Optimistic Themes 5”? Boy, they really searched long and hard for these songs.
C’mon guys, you can’t expect this creative company to create all the time. Jeez.

I will give them this though, the flags look great and the lighting seems promising.
That music really worries me though, that loop was so special.

So I won't go back on what I said like 10 minutes ago. It sounds good. We just need to see if there's any kind of original themes in it. If not, it'll still be nice but lacking.
I mean, everything else in the entrance project has been great. They have to slip up somewhere right?

Most BGM has always been sourced from existing material.

Chunks of the innoventions loops, the entirety of WoL, Soarin' parts, and pre-RoE strike me as the obvious ones in Epcot. What else are there?
Edit: But to not have your entrance loop be completely original is very disappointing. DHS got a nice loop featuring Disney movies but in a jazz/swing format. It's not my favorite but I still enjoy it.

Yeah, I’m picking more than anything. It’s not like they haven’t done this before with the Illuminations before the show loop, or the Soarin’ exit loop.
Also, it’s tough to have an entrance loop with your pavilion’s themes when at least two or three are either still under construction, haven’t opened or had their refresh postponed.
Not most. Not this park. Showcase notwithstanding
If I recall the original BGM had just one part re recorded from another piece.

If we get some themes in there, I will be more ok with this loop. It just should have a Epcot theme(s) included.
I don’t want the music to be general. EPCOT’s loop is instantly recognizable at least the old one was. Still waiting to hear the full thing.

All over this park there are and were examples of existing material being used for BGM.

Okay but real talk, something like this (but obviously, you know, BETTER than what I cobbled together) might have made a decent logo for Reflections of Earth:

And soarin, and and loops all around world showcase, and the land.... etc
Apart from energy. And horizons. And motion. And land. And seas. And the plaza. Hardly most.
Sounds like the biggest thing from those there is the entrance of Epcot was expected to be an original piece.
(Personally I’m not complaining)

Didn’t they pay someone to compose a truly wonderful new theme for the park and showcased it at D23 2019??!!!!!!! Where is that? Confused.

I am also a fan of the HWS new loop, you never hear it be talked about!
Oh all of DHS loops have been talked about believe me.

And here I was thinking you were referring to the symbolism of them waving so many White Flags in front of EPCOT . . .
