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

[Bocabear]

I think they probably now have the technology to make the carousel work better....though the many times I rode it, I never saw a problem... It is sort of funny and sad that the once leader of creative and imaginative entertainment now cannot even update their own "Imagination" pavilion.
I would love to see them go back to the original design with newer technology and effects, and the full length attraction restored.

As I’ve seen other’s suggest, you could probably do a trackless version and manage the carousel situation but just sending vehicles to different rooms and avoid that technical issue

I've said this before, but if they're really so insistent on putting Inside Out in the Imagination pavilion, can't they just put it in the Magic Eye Theater? I think a show might fit the IP better than a dark ride anyway - unless they want to make it a book report, if they did a dark ride it'd just be scene after scene of the five emotions scattered around the control panel. That would make for a very boring dark ride.

but but why don't they use the empty WOL building for Inside Out? I guess that would make WAAAAY too much sense.....

 

[OSUBMac555]

Obviously this probably won’t constrain any actual ideas from WDI but given that WOL is now part of the “World Discovery” section I would imagine whatever goes there would be tech or innovation focused. I always wanted a weather pavilion but that seems like it would go in World Nature now.

If they won’t change out the Pixar shorts, then I’d prefer what you suggest.

Since nothing is happening for the time being return HISTA back to it since it still fits the current incarnation of the pavillion..

Retheme play to planetarium theater with 1000+ seats looking up at a massive dome screen journey though universe.

And if they want an IP for that, use Soul or Wall-E.

Perfect! The 2 sleeper hits that lulled everybody to sleep..They can just make it the Sleepy pavillion sponsored by American Matress.

I quite enjoyed them. Your opinion is not all's.

I thought they retired the Sleepy Pavilion name when they replace Ellen's with GotG.

Wait, Wall-E lulled people to sleep? It's one of Pixar's best movies; maybe the very best they've ever made. It has a 95 on Metacritic, it's part of the Criterion Collection, it's in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress...

To each their own..It was more of a meh for me...This is why they can't think of anything to do attraction-wise with him..

I do think it would be difficult to make an attraction that actually captures why it's such a great, critically acclaimed film.

Yep...Acclaimed....

Wouldn't work. Guest throughput would be abysmal. If anything Peoplemover would be the obvious choice.

Plus about 75% of the film has no dialogue

UP is my favorite Pixar movie

Cheaper to use a building with an existing ride system.

When you get to the level of demo it would take to prepare the area for an Inside-Out Redo, it would make more sense to not even have the existing track and ride system to shoe-horn the new attraction into.... In the long run it seems like a building that has already had the demo would be an easier spot to create a whole new attraction...
