EPCOT New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I'm holding out hope for #SpectroMagic50 to fill that purpose.

Just don’t hold your breath.

Aren’t you shocked I liked something from the evil years?

I am...actually.

But we disagree on the “evil years”....

1999 wasn’t...it was the height before the fall.

Now 2001-2015??? Pure evil

Any word about imagination? I noticed the pyramids are still in the concept art.

Grief... 1999? Let’s agree to disagree.

Although I shudder to think I’d prefer 2011 to last year.

While it was heartbroken to see Horizons torn down, I can't imagine any of the other original pavilion buildings being removed. Just as the UoE building was re-purposed, there is no reason to think that the Imagination building would be removed..

It’s years away from anything of note.

Just don’t hold your breath.

I have to believe in something. "Mickey's Mix Magic" just about broke my soul on my first trip to DLR a few weeks ago, so I'm choosing to believe that "SpectroMagic 50" is too obviously the perfect answer for them to possibly miss the opportunity.

Gonna have to disagree...saw it very early and it was what it was

Do you always have to be a stick in the mud?

Oof, dang. Well, I'll wait forever if dreamfinder comes back

...thou must be true to thine self

 

[Phicinfan]

Yes...as much as everyone wanted to make this a bigger deal...That’s all this is @Phicinfan

Don’t get me wrong...it’s a positive step and may be a precursor to others. The leave a legacy was a terrible idea...they should have stuck to bricks

miss me much?
This is the first step. Drag your disbelief all you wish, not my fault you can't see the clear path of what is or is not coming.

Last year...interesting...

Though I’ll restate my position:
The “millennium” celebration is the pinnacle of experience at WDW. It provided the greatest offerings in entertainment, quality and VALUE for the price in its history....

All of those things have declined on the average since.

 

[marni1971]

. If they were to do what you suggest, the result would be the same. Buildings that people rarely go to.

Not if you make them open and inviting.

Nah. I’d go early 90s for that.

Before lip sync arrived. But we digress.

Oh...so much.

There are no clear paths...but I Wait to see whatever tangled path they take

Now you can run along and “break news” over in the ghost town.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

...or interesting

...or interesting

Exactly. One day I’ll talk about the good plan that didn’t happen.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I mean... it makes sense... it's a ride all about global citizenship which is what World Showcase embodies, so placement in Epcot would be appropriate. And removing it (along with the adjoining Village Haus) from Magic Kingdom would clear up a HUGE amount of space (and would open up room to expand further back in that area... possibly creating the appropriate pathway for a path around the Rivers of America). But I'm not sure Disney is at a place where the benefits to moving it would be justified by the cost.

Exactly. Cutting the waste of resources next gen budget in half would have given them more than enough money to move it's a small world and build Tangled, Frozen and Beauty and the Beast rides on that footprint.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

No issue with that...

For me...there was a soft window from 97-01 where they had completed the 90’s hotel and guest area buildout while still operating a bit business as usual.

Service decline did take hold around 94-95...so I can concede your stance based on that.

Does anyone have any good photos of SSE when it used to change colors at night. I think since the Millenian Celebration, the entrance would usually be like this.
