You’re right! And yes @MisterPenguin , it was Infact changed out mostly in ‘99 when the Institute IP revamp happened. Hence why it plays themes from both Journey Into YOUR Imagination & Honey, I Shrunk the Audience still, along with some of the film scores from Honey, I Shrunk/Blew Up the Kids’ film scores. But the bathrooms just so happened to keep the OG ‘82-98 (Magic Journeys/One Little Spark) loop.
The current gift shop basically utilizes the loop of music that plays in the current downstairs ImageWorks/What-If Labs, specifically the ‘Figment’s Melody Maker’ activity (partially inspired by the old Electronic Philharmonic activity from the upstairs version, it’s just not nearly as good). It’s an instrumental version of the “Flight to Imagination”/turntable/opening sequence of the original attraction where you met Dreamfinder & Figment on the flying Dreamcatching machine, not necessarily the original area loop if you get what I’m saying.
Maybe.. or perhaps another way to put it. Perhaps Disney has to “flush down the toilet” in a sense in order to get through that portal.
Gotta use their imagination to figure out that one..
Couldn’t agree more!From what I’ve listened to, maybe half of the published loop, the music is fine. But it doesn’t “feel” like Epcot. As in, it feels like a bunch of songs some WDI people who never set foot inside EPCOT Center, or even Epcot pre-2005, heard and thought, “Oh, that sounds like Epcot, let’s use it!” and this is what we got.
Yes, that was the question.
In all honesty, I’d prefer the original music stays and gets turned on to play through the entire pavilion. It’s far, far better than the obnoxious guitar riffs & screeches that play outside it now. Lol!
Well, a lot of things do pass (hopefully) in the bathrooms so it seems appropriate.
It's also still playing in the restrooms by SSE (What is it with EPCOT restrooms and old BGM?) and the entrance by the monorail station. It's pretty much only playing in that central entrance area.
The execs who make BGM decisions never go into those restrooms!!
And honestly for tourists the palm trees cement florida. If youre from the north it would really give you more of the stereotypical florida feel. I feel that was part of the original reason they were there. But thats an assumption
Technically besides the 1 or 2 songs from a soundtrack this new loop is original music. Or do you mean composed specifically for the park?
I should have said composed specifically for the park
