Repainting of Epcot Central Plaza?

[Figment2005]

I'm going to miss the old color scheme, but maybe it's just a nostalgia thing. I'm sure the new color scheme will grow on me

Thing is there wasn't much of an old color scheme. It was lavender accented by more lavender.

Here's some updated photos of the progress:



I don't want to say I like it, but I will say that it actually makes the window covers fit better visually. It also doesn't look terrible in person, it certainly makes things look newer and more fresh than before. It's just too noisy and obviously totally ignores the point of the architectural design of the buildings.

So I'm guessing the canopy support columns are next to be painted???

Oh, the blues and greens added to the mix. I officially hate this.

Forgive me, but has the walkway always been painted like this? Sometimes you forget how things used to look. The pattern on the walls of the plaza actually look cool with the contrasting checkerboard walkways. To me anyway.

That color pallet just doesn't work.

Who came up with it, an intern?

I believe that was done a few years ago whenever the whirlygigs were taken out.

I believe the walkway received that checkerboard pattern in the 90s when Communicore became Innoventions. It was redone a few years ago; I think the colors were altered slightly but I'm not sure.

And I'm sorry but that paint scheme is not getting any better. Seeing those shades of green and brown combined like that (see pic 4 of @Tom Morrow's set) is cringe inducing. I can see how they "fit" better with the window covers but that hardly excuses what's been done to the buildings as a whole.

And what in the name of Mickey is going on with the wall by Club Cool in pic 5? There's five or six wildly different colors all in the space of about 20 feet, not to mention the clashing of the Club Cool signage. Ick.

After the initial pictures I hated it, then I saw some pictures a few weeks ago that showed a section that was just shades of brown and tan (like pic 5) and started to like the new paint job but with the blues and greens it looks terrible and I'm back to hating it! Curious to see how this ends up.

The shades on Innoventions West, with the green, seem to be slightly more complimentary than on Innoventions East, with the blue and lavender.

Overall, though, it's still awful.

"If we let you put that terrible wand back up, will you fix this paint?"

I have to say, I saw the paint job in person today and yesterday and it really doesn't look that bad. In fact it grew on me, to say the least.

I agree. We were there this past weekend and it looked good. My wife was not familiar with the changes and she liked it too. Looks a lot better in person.

This is looking like an April fools joke gone stale.
Okay Disney, it's April 24th... jokes over.

Guess there was a special on badly tinted paint at Lowes.

I was there in person...it's pretty ugly.

Hate this. It's too much going on. What are they thinking?

The pink checks came in with the Millennium clutter. The green and blue floors came a few years ago with the colour coded breezeways.

This is hardly an update to Future World. I was in the park the other day and the color scheme looked awful! Brown and tan are one of the worst color combinations that could have thought of for this area. It's FUTURE WORLD, not desert world. I actually enjoyed the old color scheme because it connected everything together from the front of the park up until the WS, this just makes no sense whatsoever.

They must have raided the section where people returned, or never picked up, custom mixed paint by the gallon.
