EPCOT O Canada and China

[Phicinfan]

Tim Hortons is owned by Burger King, which is headquartered in Florida.

Canadians are growing less fond of the chain by the year - I've only heard it positively mentioned as a stereotypical joke lately.

actually, Burger king stock - or the owning company that owns both has sky rocketed since the acquisition

Keanu Reeves would be a good host.

It’d be breathtaking!

Sorry it had to be said, carry on.....

While I know people hate the IP tie-ins for everything, Deadpool doing a Canada movie at Epcot would be pretty awesome.

I can see a billboard on I-4 now...
"What the Canuck!?" Deadpool in O'Canada

Add a Wolverine cameo and I'm in.

I hope I can still buy a $5 coffee crisp.

I love Coffee Crisps! I buy them on Amazon...

All O'Canada Signage has been covered up by Food & Wine signs. The scrim has also been updated to be a printed image instead of just brown.

@marni1971 , do you know if the new China movie will be keeping the Reflections of China score? It’s really beautiful, and I would hate to lose it.

Whoa!

I’d really hope so but I’m not holding out for it. I agree, it’s gorgeous. Even more so that it’s based on the 1982 Wonders score. So glad I got a copy.

It really is one of the best, always been quintessential Epcot to me, as is impressions. Keeping my copies as well the original and current one. Same goes for Canada.

hmm, I wonder if they might skip showing a Hong Kong segment in the China film after recent "issues"

I doubt it. American Adventure still has a scene revolving around slavery.

They called Tiananmen Square "The heart of China"

Kinda insensitive to the 1989 massacre

 

[marni1971]

Yes they did.

 

[ChrisFL]

I think those are different situations, but I don't want to get too involved in the politics of it, just thinking it could feel very tone deaf if they don't treat it properly.

Are they actually replacing all the trees in the faux rockwork at Canada with artificial ones? That would be a huge mistake.

I believe so. For various reasons.

Work light on in the good ol' mountain 'o scaffolding:

A hidden Mickey in the sky!

That's why it seemed plausible to me -- I'm sure it's a reduction in maintenance costs, and the trees were probably also causing damage to the rock facade. But it's just another example of prioritizing cost cutting over quality, because there is no way the fake trees are going to look as good as real ones.
