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

[TwilightZone]

A revelation I just had:

 

[MisterPenguin]

I thought West was getting it?

Ooops.... editing...

 

[Disney Maddux]

Pretty much yeah.
I mean if rumors are true, those two buildings aren't even up to code anymore. They have to.

Wait why am I now Oscar the Grouch?

Ah you just saw my magical word replacer. Only I have the power to change words! ME! AND NO ONE ELSE MWHAHAHAHA!
But yeah thanks for letting me know lol. Fixed it.

Because you love trash... duh

Was that shade towards Zootopia

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Wait why am I now Oscar the Grouch?

For most of Zootopia the characters are near a street, Oscar the Grouch lives on Sesame Street

 

[TwilightZone]

What have I done?

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

So they're just gonna be torn out then sit empty until they eventually expand the pavilion with a ride or or more IP's?

It will probably be back stage areas?? Who knows?? I guess wait for more details

 

[Acidsplat]

Heck I'd even accept some for the other attractions WOL had.

Just put a framed photo of Martin Short somewhere with no explanation

I've been wondering if they're going to leave some easter eggs or tributes for us to find for Body Wars and Cranium Command.

Well they've already got "WEDWAY" there, so I would guess 'yes'.

Before the photo, there was a short lived oil painting of Mr. Short actually making a baby. Though thematically appropriate, many guests found it unsettling.

Body Wars was brought up to code in 2016, when they ripped out the queue railings and cemented off the simulator doors. Cranium Command hasn't had an inspection in 10 years as far as I'm aware. Expect both sides of the building to be gutted, but probably not reused as guest space. Of course I could be wrong, but I feel like they'll at least have to do work inside the cranium theatre to fix it, and Archives needs two of the signs left back in Body Wars

Nah, we got the unsettling 360 degrees of him for that to thank for a "short" brief moment in O'Canada...

Just to make sure I’m remembering it all, this is what is coming to Epcot by 2022:

• Ratatouille ride
• New night show
• Mulan- based China 360 show
• Updated Canada 360 show
• Updated IDF
• Beauty and the Beast sing along
• GotG coaster
• WOL Play Pavilion
• Space Restaurant
• Mary Poppins flat ride
• New purpose for the Odyssey building
• Brazil pavilion
• Updated entrance

Is that all correct?

If so, I really am going to need to do 2 days in Epcot next trip (and nothing excites me more).

Who knew a theme park could get a glow up

 

[Indy_UK]

Poppins flat ride is still the biggest rumour thought isn't it? The rest is all pretty much confirmed

A spoonful of IP filled Epcot makes the medicine go down apparently

 

[NateD1226]

Isn't Brazil still a rumor too or did I miss something?
