Couldn't agree more. Everything else is symmetrical. And now with the flags those trees stick out even more. Design 101. I'm confident they will loose them. Would love to see the palm trees go back. It was a nice contrast to Spaceship Earth and would compliment the new entrance nicely.

The park looked so much better with out the clutter of food booths and beer carts everywhere
If the flags feature the original icon's, it would have been great if they could have slipped in at least one instrumental version of one of the original rides. Heck with today's technology the playlist could be dynamic enough that it slips in a different original theme every day in random spots, kinda keeps things fresh that way.

I believe the flags will eventually represent all 12 of the current icons

It baffles me as the park has been overloaded with restaurants from the get-go.

Where would they be located?
Some of the under canopy speakers certainly towards SSE it seems. Perhaps around the stroller rental area / Merf Cove area.

When I was there the other day it was definitely playing in the restroom areas inside and out. You could hear it as you walked by them. Also playing outside in the arrival area. I didn’t hear it near the stroller rentals but might not have been close enough to it. Also don’t remember hearing any music at all playing in the camera center.
side note: original imagination loop was playing loud and proud in the imag! Restrooms

As a sound engineer I would love to see how their audio systems are set up. Wonder how many speakers are tied to a single individual area.When I was there the other day it was definitely playing in the restroom areas inside and out. You could hear it as you walked by them.

I’ve always been curious too. Especially when they are able to control things park wide for fireworks etc

Same. I really want to know how the glorious imagination bathrooms survived as long as they have and WHY they have never been changed.
Because the Imagination Restrooms are rooms in the Imagination Pavilion and thus have the Imagination BGM loop?
Legacy systems can still be very old fashioned. Newer ones (although I’m going back a decade) has each individual speaker addressable separately- even on say a mast with 4 speakers on it.
Somewhere I’ve got the original Showcase promenade master speaker plan. It’s a phenomenal piece of work for 1982 - and also shows the intent of holding parades on the promenade since the park opened until they ballsed it up.
I always thought Disney + should do a short series about just this type of thing. I would love to see the behinds the scenes of the parks, the parades, the fireworks, etc. - the mechanics of it all.
There must be an army of people behind the scenes.
Anyways, I would watch it!
It’s very interesting for those into that kind of thing.

Just stop, please.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
But why has it been changed out across the rest of the pavilion but not the bathrooms... (If I'm correct there) I think that was the question.
Oh, I didn't realize it was changed out. So, the gift shop isn't using the old BGM?

I have no idea. I thought the institute had its own theme compared to the 80s version(?)
