News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[wdwmagic]

“More Disney.”

Year-round.

Yes the idea of topiary being put into areas that isn't deemed to be "Disney" enough has been looked at for a number of areas over the past years. Disney Springs and TTC are two of them.

That building looks more like between World Traders and Port of Entry, near the water area.

I see topiaries of Pooh, Donald & Daisy, Fantasia Mickey, and Beauty and the Beast in the entrance artwork. I wonder if those will always be there or just for Flower and Garden Festival.

This concept is set during the F&G Fest, but we’ll see what happens.

UK ride?.

Nope.

 

[danlb_2000]

That looks to be in the United Kingdom area no?

Or where the World Showplace pavilion currently is.

 

[IrishSailor]

Yep.

New Country in World Showcase?

It does.

Nope.

Well once it gets to announcement time - its pretty much set in stone. With just a few exceptions over the years.

Not to be that guy but since we're actually moving forward with confirmed plans with concept art, can we get a subforum like DHS and Springs have? The Epcot projects are finally starting to pick up now...

Nope.

Last guess, boat based ride in Canada? Figured this would be a fun guess.

 

[KrazyKat]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!


"I'll have what she's having"

 

[monothingie]

Nope.

It looks like it’s behind Imagination but in front of the lagoon.

 

[Rowlet]

So based on the concept art, and previous info, could we see the ride entrance/exit to SSE and where we board the vehicles be on the sides, like at Guest Relations and the opposite?

 

[Indiana Stone]

Looks like they could be going for a nature and science look for the Future World section of the park. Vere to the left for science based pavilions and to the right for nature based?

 

[Horizons '83]

I'm really impressed with this concept art and I am all about making Epcot more Green. Its looks much cleaner without Project Tomorrow there but it peaks my curiosity on how the load unload for SSE will be re-configured

 

[pdude81]

Demolishing the character spot is one way to get Inside Out IP into WoL

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

OK, at least they're redoing the entrance properly. Genuinely looking forward to this part of the Epcot transformation.

I realize that concept art is not always 100% to size/scale and all details are not 100% accurate, but looking on Google Earth in a similar perspective, it almost looks to be the theater next to Imagination... (formerly where they had Honey I shrunk the Audience, Captain EO, et al)... the new concept for Wonder's of Life shows a "Cinema"... maybe they demo that theater for a new building next to Imagination?

Good point! I think that would be cool!

I couldn’t get the right angle on my phone but that’s looks spot on. To bad it appears to be another box structure in the park.

The building in the concept art is much too far away from Imag to be Magic Eye. Also Magic Eye has a slanted roof whereas this mysterious building looks to have a flat roof. Most likely somewhere in WS.
