There haven't been any pictures, but the painting has reached Mouse Gear. I don't know if I like it, too many different colors, it almost looks more outdated than ever...
The new color scheme is representative of the overall modern aesthetic of TDO. The chaos and patchwork of the planning process in the parks is making its way into the architecture of FutureWorld. Think Starbucks, FastPass, food kiosks scattered about the parks, and drunks vomiting around World Showcase Lagoon. This is the new future we should all now embrace.What are they thinking?
Thank you Micheal Eisner for beginning the fall of Epcot. I miss my visit to Epcot in 1983! I only wish Horizons was open then!The new color scheme is representative of the overall modern aesthetic of TDO. The chaos and patchwork of the planning process in the parks is making its way into the architecture of FutureWorld. Think Starbucks, FastPass, food kiosks scattered about the parks, and drunks vomiting around World Showcase Lagoon. This is the new future we should all now embrace.
In the old days, FutureWorld was guided by visionaries like Ray Bradbury, who possessed a coherent image of the future, full of bright colors, clean lines, and eternal optimism. But this is the future that was never meant to be in the corporatization of tomorrow, and in time that clear, clean vision has faded away.
Today we have hysterical myopia, in which the clutter of the parks corresponds to the clutter of a thinking of TDO in it's eternal quest for the almighty buck. This corporate dissonance is represented in the chaotic tones along the Innovations overhang. It is an allegorical representation of the mighty spreadsheet that drives all corporate thinking today.
Or something like that...

I thought so too, but the multi-colors have continued all the way to Mouse Gear and Fountain View now. Maybe it will look better when complete, but right now I'm not sure what they're thinking.Looking at the above photo, I assumed that they were testing out the various colours, rather than it being an actual pattern.

View attachment 49988 View attachment 49989 Seems to me they're testing color schemes...
When the thread was created, the re-painting stopped where it is in that picture, so we thought maybe they were sampling different colors. But now the re-painting has extended all the way down to Fountain View, as in, closer to the fountain and the breezeways, so they are not "sampling" colors as an experiment, this is the actual color pattern.What do you mean by "continued all the way to…"? Those were the areas that were originaly painted.
I liked this to say "thank you".When the thread was created, the re-painting stopped where it is in that picture, so we thought maybe they were sampling different colors.

I saw the reprinting in Epcot today. Nothing has changed. View attachment 50559View attachment 50560
Using up all the leftovers from DVC builds.Paint store have a sale on one-off colors in the bargain bin or something?
To represent that perfection is an illusion, an ideal that can never be fully reached?The worse part is that the pattern isn't even matched up on both buildings! They're about one stripe off on matching.
I'm just looking forward to when they turn the old Magic Eye Theater into a Hot Topic!They see the place as a mall and its getting worse by the looks of things.
It mainly has interior walls behind the glass. Thankfully most of the glazing survives if not the layout.Didn't they paint the glass black for the darkened Innoventions or was it boarded up?
