News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[DCLcruiser]

No shade? No problem! When it rains, people go into stores and buy things. When it's hot, they get thirsty and buy over-priced, high-margin beverages. It's a win-win!!

I need a new Mickey Poncho.

Looks like the Leave a Legacy plaque has been removed from it's base in front of the main planter, but the base is still standing. I honestly hope that thing goes into the Archives along with the rest of the tiles.

I remember some chatter awhile back that the tiles will be used again in a different location at the front of Epcot. Haven't heard that reiterated in while though.

I heard "upscaled"...so not reused, but replaced. Heard it somewhere on these boards.

That would be from me.

IIRC, one of our insiders said "relocated" and placed on a different structure. But of course, that could have changed since.

There are only two reasons that I ever go to the forbidden site. I go either to laugh at the ridiculousness that is posted sometimes, but I also check in occasionally for photo updates. I love me some photo updates. Anyways, 2 pictures from the site that shall not be named:

Those excavators, or whatever they are, remind me of robots in WALL-E.

Not really "chatter", Disney explicitly said that was the plan.

Lol, I remembered that being said, but I couldn't recall the source...so yes...it was much more than chatter.

Epcot is a disaster right now.

Are they moving the bus drop off or just a concept art mistake?

$10 says no. The new art is literally a modified original Epcot Center art (look at the people and monorail placement).

Anyone notice the tall spire?

That’s wild. Thanks. Hoping they figure out how to keep the monorail exit within the security perimeter still.

That's part of the goal of the entrance work right this moment.

I haven’t seen any concrete evidence or plan on here as to how they will accomplish that.

On the left over by Mission Space? I think it's supposed to be the "space elevator" for the new resturant. Not a real thing that will be in the park

@marni1971 has been saying that on repeat for the past years. It's a mess the way it is currently.

Yes that they would like to do it but what is the actual plan? Change the exit ramp? Push the bag check out? Would think we would hear or see something by now especially with all the construction for the tram.
