I LOVE the design of all these things. While I think they’re cool now, I’m pretty sure they were considered “dated” and “old fashioned” at one time. Retro is a tricky thing- it has to build on nostalgia but still appeal to current tastes. So retro cars have to have modern underpinnings in order to be accepted. Retro fashion has to incorporate modern materials. Otherwise, it’s not retro, it’s just old.I really don´t care that much. As I always said, my favorite park was DHS with all the magic of making the films, the props and all that. But nowadays I am also happy with the SW land, things need to move foward and to adapt to the new style.
With that said, Nowadays there is a trend in retro/vintage style. And I think EPCOT could easily transform with that in mind and make something unique. and not another generic park.
The unique style of the retro/vintage coke machine, Volkwagen Kombi, the SMEG apliances, The GM Futureliner!!!
and I found EPCOT center ( and original tomorroland) to fit that style in a great way. And they can bring that together to make something unique and oustanding.

It's fun to see someone post excruciatingly long paragraphs saying the same thing over and over again, when my response is literally straight to the point. Talking in circles. It is just purely entertaining to see someone get so upset about something that they can't fix. So, round 40956275...
From what I understand Future World is Tomorrowland 2.0 as far as I'm concerned. That's theme enough for me. With this in mind, I'm more upset that the opposite side isn't very thematically making sense anymore. Land, Water, and Imagination. If anything, Mission: Space, Test Track, Play, and Guardians all create a distinct land that revolves around space travel and futuristic technology in general.
I couldn't agree more.
Look! Everyone’s marching out of time except our Billy!
I appreciate the joke. Reality is reality, though. You have three kinds of Disney fans...
Like much of life, I'd say there are many variables in between these three as well.
I’m glad. It’s a favourite from years ago.
That’s a lot to do with it. Not everyone is ready to roll over and just accept it. You have, maybe they will, maybe I will. Maybe by the time I can bring myself to go back to Epcot (we made a choice not to go this year on purpose) I won’t care about it either. I’m trying not to. As I keep saying, EPCOT Center is dead. I know that. I just hope what comes instead of it is okay. I’m sure it will. I know it will never come close to being as good. But that would be a tall order.

The new Epcot will be fine. It's what the general public wants. Magic Kingdom 3.0 will be more popular than an original Epcot revision.
boop
Magic Kingdom 3.0 will be fine.Straight to the point?
You have absolutely no idea what the general public wants.
And posting over and over that you will pay for anything the multinational billion-dollar conglomerate gives you without evaluating its quality does not make you as superior as you seem to think.
Anyway, it’s telling that no one can identify a distinctive theme for the emerging Future World. And even in the case of the vague “Tomorrowland 2.0” idea, PP isn’t a thematic fit.
TDO like you.
And a lot of posters on this board want to screw that up too.
Avatar, as much as I dislike the film, is a great example of an IP that fit the theme of the park.
How is this like the Magic Kingdom? The Magic Kingdom has distinctive lands that are more than just an assortment of movie franchises.
You know who does? Disney. And here we are.
