News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

Cough.

Glad to see the monolith coming back to the fountain!

The rendering of the play pavillion isn't bad either. Doesn't excite me too much as an adult without children but at least it's somewhat within the future world theme. I'm pleasantly surprised.

If they do their jobs right they should be able to create something that will appeal to both adults and children.

Cough.

Hope you arent getting sick. You should see a doctor.

Funnily enough I’ve been off work all week with flu!

So Leave a Legacy becomes security bollards....

"As part of the new entry experience, Leave A Legacy photos will be moving into a beautiful setting just outside the park’s gateway."

I guess this concept art kinda confirms the removal of Communicore/Innoventions East and West. They appear to be gone as you can now see trees and Motion/Test Track and Imagination pavillions.

Also, nice to see the flags with the original Epcot Center logo

Wonders is likely to become a multiple IP pavilion for the younger crowd. Don’t expect any “real” attractions. Expect this to open during the SSE project and way before Imag. Might even see some walls this year.

A new film is also approved for The Harvest Theatre.

Oops wrong thread.

Cough.

Praise the Martin!

Very curious how the rendering shows parts of Innoventions East but nothing for Innoventions West...

You are probably joking, but that's not actually a bad idea. It's not uncommon to see builds with large rocks in the landscaping that both look like, but are also there as a security measure.

Imagine that.

Salvaging a bit of happiness, I’m glad they went with this plan. Now you know why I said the hotel was dead.

Is that Joy on the hotel sign? And not quite Sadness on the far left?

 

[teddisney]

Does Club Cool survive this?

The one on the left looks like Edna from the Incredibles.

I am very disappointed that Leave a Legacy is being relocated. I think it’s current location is optimal.

The proposed landscaping doesnt look bad but it looks like a grouping of Crape Myrtles will be planted front and center once you pass through the turnstile area. That will make picture taking with the entirety of the geosphere difficult. However that may be the intent since people do tend to crowd around the center planter for pictures.

PRAISE BE TO THE GODS. THE TOMBSTONES ARE DEAD.

Edit: But seeing no Innoventions West is sad.

 

[marni1971]

Does Club Cool survive this?

Currently no.

 

[teddisney]

Currently no.

Thanks. Sad for my kids, but thanks. They love them some Melon Frosty and Vegita-Beta.

Lots of IPs involved in there.
I've seen: Pan (Tinkerbell), Mickey & friends, Nick from Zootopia, Inside Out, The Incredibles, Marie from Aristocrats, Buzz Lightyear

Well my boy John Hench would be happy the tombstones are gone.
