News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[Clamman73]

If you look at the pictorial update, the security checkpoint will be at the former tram drop off area underneath the monorail walkway. So they have pushed the perimeter out beyond the monorail exit. Now what they do with the bus guests I dont know.

I feel I should have some level of Rumormonger designation.

Just $50 per year, or $5/month.

I was thinking the tram exit was going to be a long way to the entrance, but it actually seems like it's not as long a distance as the one in DAK

Blog Mickey got some good, well-lit shots of the security checks under the platform. It's the same info as WDWtraveler posted, but a little easier to see.

Such a great idea

How long has that space been there and they just decided to use it, well for anything, but it does make a great security area.

It used to be the parking lot tram loading area.

The new tram stop should be open tomorrow (Oct. 24th) everything minus some minor stuff in the flower beds looks to to be complete

I'm not sure, it looks very complete but unless they poured that area to the one side then I have a feeling it might be a few more days.

They have it setup for load/unload to be in the same area for a few days. Everything is fenced off in preparation for it and the easily moved shrubs are in place. Besides I've seen them pour 100+ yards of concrete and have guests walking on it the next day. The chemicals they can throw into a mix to make it strong in just a few hours is pretty cool and throw in some glass fiber into the mix and the stuff is pretty much bulletproof in 6-8 hours. (I was a concrete guy for nearly 10 years btw)

Where do monorail and resort bus guests go?
