What are sightlines for 1000 Alex?

 

[Nottamus]

You guys are just looking at it wrong. Once you’ve drank around the world it all lines up perfectly.

Or....for some people after drinking around the world, there will be two star gates.

maybe the way it was intended ...

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

That's where I'm at on this. The ROE hardware was *also* super ugly, so... meh.

Not really. Only the WWIII Barges that were brought out for special events.

The others were not particularly noticeable.

 

[flynnibus]

What’s worse?
Harmonious barges? Or the pink birthday castle?

At least the cake was cute and distinctive... and finite.

This... its like disney hanging out the furries’ underwear on a laundry line on the greens around the imagination pavilion

 

[TTA94]

Would be nice to hear a new segment from Harms soundtrack. Something other than what sounds like HEA lol.

 

[MisterPenguin]

It'll be centered once they add the millennial Mickey's sorcerer's arm and wand that was on SSE, repurposed for the 40th anniversary of EPCOT.

I’m fine when someone doesn‘t like a specific change that’s been made, but when people go on for years and years beating the same drum(s) it‘s no longer feedback, it’s just complaining for the sake of it.

Is it possible you have simply never tried to understand the criticism?

Just a thought.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Was everything really so impressed by the “before” World Showcase views?

Yes. It was one of the aspects of EPCOT that made it unique compared to both other WDW parks and other Disney parks.

The design of WS was not done by accident or convenience and it worked.

Not really. Only the WWIII Barges that were brought out for special events.

About those... Are we ever going to see those again for July 4th and NYE? I don’t doubt Harmonious will have Holiday versions, but it won’t be the same without the WWlll Barges.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

It's amazing how many Disney fans praise details and tributes, but just throw up their arms and say "whatever" when it comes to physically large design choices.

Details and design are important at every scale.

And Disney buildings, gardens etc don't exist in isolation. How they relate to each other in a spatial sense matters too.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

EPCOTS RUINED!!!! IM DONE JUST DONE, I’ll go there if I’m dragged but I just don’t care or have any desire for that place. They ruined the atmosphere of every park, the feel and what made them so special. The camels back is bent real bad right now.

EPCOTS RUINED!!!!

Tis.

Weren’t they out recently?

 

[BrianLo]

Objective achieved, they've covered up the Guardians Show Building.

Woof. So much for Tokyo Disney Sea or Disneyland's Rivers of America show infrastructure.

I'm looking forward to the show at least, but it will might look really cool in the dark isn't a glowing endorsement.

 

[TTA94]

They should have went the WoC route and installed a platform, even bigger than DCAs. Or just use flat barges. They could have also installed retractable lighting rigs around WS. Keeping the nice views. Imagine how impressive that would have been to see the entire, or well most it, WS Lagoon erupt in towering fountains?Plus fireworks which DCAs WoC doesn’t have.

 

[TTA94]

Weren’t they out recently?

Maybe? Now that would be awesome if they planned to use them nightly? Can’t honestly imagine they could afford to do that though lol.

 

[Admiral01]

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen in a Disney park, and I’m old enough to remember the hat, the birthday cake castle, DCA 1.0, and how I looked after I rode Body Wars for the first time before the timing between the video and motion was fixed...

What in the world are they thinking? Nothing about this is a plus to the park.

I mean, let’s just build an offshore oil rig in the middle of the friggen lagoon - that would be way more attractive and could even entice Exxon back into sponsorship...

 

[marni1971]

Maybe? Now that would be awesome if they planned to use them nightly? Can’t honestly imagine they could afford to do that though lol.

They are used for standard shows too.

 

[TTA94]

They can be used for standard shows too.

I’m think we discussed this awhile back but isn’t the plan for Harm to have less fireworks than RoE?

 

[Homemade Imagineering]

They’re blind beyond belief... this is just pathetic, there are no excuses for this
