EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Animaniac93-98]

Those who arrive at EPCOT via monorail or boat do not get such hideous backstage views.

You'd think the price hikes at the now Skyliner hotels and park tickets could pay for something more presentable.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Or think of the MK skyway and it’s awful show......

Yeah, it was totally just as bad...

Yep we can pick and choose good and bad views of visible show buildings.

None of your example are as egregious and the last one only lasted a couples years before a QS restaurant was built to obscure that wall.

To say nothing of 50 years of progress in theme design...or price hikes.

But keep up the whataboutisms.

Ok well that’s the point, they both opened with poor views that got covered up by new additions and trees with time.

whataboutisms? Lol what?

You have a habit of laughing off the effort people put into their posts. Don't be surprised if you get called out on it.

Many members here care about how the parks are designed. If you don't as much, you can always ignore those posts.

Instead, they get to see a magical parking lot of rainbow unicorns and rooftops of industrial dream machines!!

Never said they shouldn’t, the view into France is very unfortunate and I’m hopeful some trees will eventually block that green show building and dumpsters.

There’s a road and drainage ditch next to the building. Not really places where a lot can be planted.

Even worse if it is a brand new build with no solution.

The MK skyway showed in-park rooftops and showbuildings. Distracting of the magic. I was always disappointed as a kid. :'(
But you didn't see the MK backside. That remained all but hidden from view (as it still is from the railroad, minus a few parts). Plus a tunnel system help a lot to keep an area tidy.

EPCOT Center hid all its ugly rear views from guests, every single one. Nothing could be seen, except later for a few views of the Seas, but that was really just its more unflattering sides rather than backstage.

It is perhaps somewhat acceptable if a later addition like the Skyliner infringe upon this holistic design. But it is a bit daft if the very solution creates more problems than it tries to solve.

Even Seas was designed to be seen from the elevated monorail

And then TT happened. Finally bringing all those late nights of looking at google maps satellite images of backstage to real life. The EPCOT chiller plant is my favorite part.

And even worse, TT reduced the Motion building to ride wharehouse.

Modern guests could (almost) be forgiven for the blasphemy of thinking that the car track is the show element, like a coaster, and the gorgeous circular Motion building nothing but a wharehouse left in plain view.

Luckily TT 2.0 minimizes that

I still hope one day that WOM demolition photos surface. When the Horizons tribute was a thing on Yahoo Groups (if anyone else is old enough to remember that) I would pour over their interior photos of Horizons’ demolition. It was heartbreaking yet fascinating.

On the latest episode of Disney Dish. It was mentioned that Rat could open “any day now”. Specifically, said was soft opens in January with a actual opening late February, early March.

The earlier they can open the better.

This is a rumor, please treat it as such grain of salt and all that. Seems likely in my opinion though.

We already knew it could open at any point.

I’m assuming that Disney Dish was surmising that it will soft open soon?

How can they do a castmember previews if there are no more castmembers? LOL! Maybe skip to AP previews.

This rumor makes sense as they want people to come, especially now that park hopping is happening it won't be hard to reserve only at Epcot.

Yes, but they seemed suprised that it hadn’t opened yet. They even mentioned it could be open by the time they put the show up.

Again, I am just sharing what I heard. Not saying it is real, it’s definitely worth discussing though.
