EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[DreamfinderGuy]

I understand that's the play pavilion but where is that?

From that angle, roughly Frontiers of Medicine. A little further to the left of it.

The tweeter had also pointed out the similarity to the concept art:

What if they've been secretly building the Play pavilion this whole time and will surprise open it next year for Epcot's 40th???

I think it is safe to say that this will open very close to Guardians. They’re going to need the capacity.

Deffo Wonders...but can't tell where it's so covered up. But cool to get a kinda unofficial update

I think that was the original idea. Give families with smaller kids something to do while the rest of their party is in line and riding next door.

That and replace family-friendly capacity removed at Innoventions West.

All kidding aside, um, yeah... I don't think East was very busy at the time of closure. A few M&Gs that had some lines, but stuff like the Piggy Bank adventure or Where's the Fire were always dead when I walked through there in recent years.

I was referring to the M&Gs, which is what this new fluff will be. Most of us will stop in, say “looks pretty neat,” take a few pics, and never return unless we need to escape the Mustafarian summer heat.

I think people were saying it was underutilized and neglected, which is true. Very few argue that it couldn’t have been rehabilitated. Their willingness to do so was another story.

Agreed...there was a lot of beautiful square footage that could have been put to much better use.
