I just cannot figure out WHY anyone would think this is a good idea?! Ugh

That’s one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever seen. What does the Disneyland it’s a small world facade have to do with ANYTHING at Epcot? Are you just trolling for responses now. If so, I’m annoyed I fell for it!
The eventual rust color will really make it sparkle in the sunlight.

I know, they could paint them blue and add glitter. Problem sorted! No one will ever notice them.

Combined with the mineral scale, it will end up looking like the set from WaterWorld. Could this be a future IP infringement case with Universal?
(He hasn’t set foot inside a Disney theme park in 40 years, according to his own past posts) Take everything he posts with a salt lick’s worth of salt.

I was thinking of it as an example of what could be done. Something Mary Blair-esque, LoW mash-up. It was meant for illustration purposes and not necessarily as a literal, that or nothing proposition.
It is what happens here.
PS- more than a few people here think IaSW is a better IP for WS than the MK. Just a side note.
But you yourself said “a few internet voices” wouldn’t have Disney changing anything, but you appear to be advocating for a change based on a few internet voices. Which is it?
Given a choice between the two, I’d take the dystopian Water World over the Zach Ridley masterpiece.
The wand was fine for the Millenium Celebration. The tarps were fine for the mid-90’s but needed to be removed after 5 -6 years. These eyesores won’t be removed for a decade, if not more, unless we somehow get miraculously lucky and the show bombs and GSAT numbers are low. And these are far more of an abomination than the wand, the tarps, or the tombstones.

It will rival the joy of the wand and hat removal threads. Good times; can't wait.*
I also think
*And many people on social media will go, "OMG!!! Totes AHMAZING view across #World Showcase at #EPCOT! Great job, #Disney! #Magical #vlogger #selfie" while completely forgetting that's how it had always been for 38 years before Harm came along.

Depends. Sometimes it's that little spark of inspiration. Other times it may be an idea that is so unlikely it is essentially not happening. Disney doesn't invest this kind of money without a lot of approvals along the way. And they have a strong track record.
We'll know if it is a boondoggle soon enough.
World of Color had its doubters also but it silenced most of that as soon as they hit the On button.

Those responsible for said track record are no longer with the company or WDI. They prefer to aim for singles more often than not because of Iger’s noted love of “de-risk” than to take a chance, and now Chapek’s cluelessness as to how theme parks should be run (hint: It’s not “squeeze every last penny from every single guest”). RotR would be the only outlier since Everest.
World of Color vanishes during the day.
I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen that platform fully submerged and I’ve been to DL a lot. Sure most of the time it’s show height, but the fountains do not disappear entirely.
We must have been lucky during our visits. To be honest I’d have liked to have seen it exposed.
It is impressive but ugly. The tacos I could live with but I’m dreading seeing the stargate in person.
