News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[Tom Morrow]

This is also blaring in world showcase, and I mean blaring!!...I guess they think that somehow distracts people from noticing all the junk in the lagoon... Its nice music on its own but its really starting to not feel like a Disney park anymore, it sounds like seaworld.

I'm listening through now. At least one song is used at Manta at SeaWorld -"The Game is Afoot". Overall though I don't really get that impression. Some tracks, yes.


Edit: Okay, after listening through the playlist. It's perfectly fine and appropriate, but I would agree that it is perhaps a bit "generic". Almost every song has has the same sweeping feel. I could see hearing this for an extended period of time would start to feel like its just droning on.

Here's a YouTube playlist of the songs identified (note that Brasier is actually Nero, a Shazam mistake that points to a ripped off recording of Nero).

Thank you. People kept posting the playlists on different subscription services, which is useless to me.

As an EC purist, I think it is going to have to grow on me. I sort of felt like I was in Six Flags when I first heard it. I think I need to really hear the entire loop.
I actually listen to this music every morning to get myself going. The new music doesn't quite move me like the opening day music does:

I’m still not clear on some these logos and which pavilion they represent.

Are you all really that surprised by the new loop being what it is? Disney couldn’t even get the soundtrack to EPCOT forever right. Did anyone really think they’d suddenly do right this time?

Building on the post from @Prototype82, the logos are also color coded if that helps at all. Reds for World Discovery, blues for World Celebration, green/teal for World Nature, and World Showcase is full on yellow.

There's definitely been thought put into their design, and certainly having attraction logos prominently featured again is a big plus. Just wish some of the things they represent were better fits for EPCOT.

Also, it's pretty clear it's supposed to be one logo per flagpole at the entrance. But kinda hard to do that when a fourth of the attractions represented are either (indefinitely-ish) delayed or undergoing redesigns from their initial concepts.

Interesting, is SSE actually AT&T blue?

Apparently some of the songs are on a audio network site and not on iTunes?

Well obviously some of them are familiar due to being around since opening day, but some are little more difficult to decipher if you’re not familiar with them, such as the Wii pavilion logo.

I’m sorry, “PLAY!”. Same thing, just an additional letter and a lot less COVID friendly.

No, I'm totally calling it that from now on.

Amazingly youtube didn't have a video of 10 hours of the score from Honey I Shrunk The Audience on repeat.

So here's just 5 minutes worth.

I actually brought that up a few pages ago. Regardless, it's a nice touch to make everything fit together. I'll miss the old colors (even if they weren't used for decades) but the new ones are just fine.

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

I created a playlist on AppleMusic. I got all but two songs. How do I share it out? (This would not be doable if the music were created from scratch by Disney)

Too bad the best part of the new Epcot is the music

 

[wdwmagic]

The color ribbon outline has a couple of different effect modes.
One is a blue with a moving highlight. Another is a gradient fade of various colors.

That light is incredible. What an amazing change to the entrance, it is going to be stunning at night.

 

[dreday3]

Oh man, I hate to be so positive, but I love it!!!! Lighting is always fun.
