EPCOT New Spaceship Earth Lounge Coming to EPCOT

[Streetway Again]

The construction walls that were up have come down - photos from today:

Is that good, or bad for this lounge? I’m sure it’ll happen, but the whole idea of “updates coming to spaceship earth next” have come into question as of late, so IDK. I’m sure im overreacting.

Side tangent. The whole switch up for the SSE talk has me curious, because it seemed so certain in the past, although i know that’s how projects work sometimes. Isn’t the ride system in serious need of help and “on a ticking clock”? If so, why would they suddenly push it off again? And what else could replace it in the lineup, if anything? Just a big bag of questions.

I am guessing completing the lounge is top priority as the margins for Alcohol sales is the highest other than LL sales.

I’m sure, but I dont see how that would affect a spaceship earth overhaul that much. Apples to oranges. But yeah more alcholol sales at Epcot would kinda make sense as a priority, to your point. Still my questions stand.

Maybe that “SSE and Figment by EPCOT 50” goal isnt a thing anymore? Maybe something ate it’s budget? I dunno.

So they got rid of one of the trees that was there, but didn’t even bother removing the lights that were under it? My god.

The tree was most likely removed to get equipment in/out and will be replaced
