Am I right that they tore down the previous Communicore buildings only to rebuild them?
Nope. They tore them down to build cheaper, less appealing versions of them.

Hmmm, sounds like a particular ride we've seen at epcot before, one that was completely demolished instead of spending money to fix it.Spaceship Earth Overhaul Omitted from Latest EPCOT Concept Art

It’s official. I hate how Bob Chapek is neglecting the ride. The ride system is eventually gonna break down and die. Current Disney executives don’t even care about park maintenance.

Personally I prefer SSE in its previous and current incarnations compared with what they had intended.Spaceship Earth Overhaul Omitted from Latest EPCOT Concept Art

It's official: SSE is now a walk-through attraction. I'll FINALLY get to see the blacked out spaceship Martin talks about!Spaceship Earth Overhaul Omitted from Latest EPCOT Concept Art

It's my understanding from my buddy who used to tinker around SE, that the attraction is in dire need of replacement of several basic things. It was my understanding that the refurb was to address several of the glaring issues the guests don't see and that the projection additions were just to throw some candy at the public for the extended refurb. I got the impression that a major refurb is something that must be done sooner than later, but I'm sure some other folks have more info.
It’s never gonna happen unless Disney fires Bob Chapek. It will never get a refurbishment until 2028 or 2032. EPCOT’s old attractions like this and Figment will get worse. On the day Judi Dench passes away, they need to overhaul it.It's my understanding from my buddy who used to tinker around SE, that the attraction is in dire need of replacement of several basic things.

One post that caught my attention was how the ride system stopped midway. Disney is now greedy and cheap to even care about park maintenance.It's my understanding from my buddy who used to tinker around SE, that the attraction is in dire need of replacement of several basic things.

The ride hasn’t had an update since 2007. As of now, some of the elements of this Disney experience has been outdated. Same with Journey Into Imagination which hasn’t got an update since 2002.I think people are reading too much into this concept. If, and I know it’s a big if, the re-do is on the table, there is no way it would be done before the spine opens back up. These trees seem to just be an easy visual placeholder.
The re-vamp also wouldn’t necessarily need a major structural change to Project Tomorrow. If they were going to cut the budget, and chose to go after Project Tomorrow rather than something more impactful to the ride, I’m ok with that.

Fix the track.A SSE refurb is certainly not canceled, it just won’t be as extensive as they had planned. It will need to close for awhile at some point in the next five years. I believe it will end up being largely a technical refurb with some relatively minor updates to visuals. New costumes, lighting, music, narrator. But no extensive gutting.
Let’s hope they can make the descent more compelling. The rest is honestly fine. Less condescending dialogue, maybe. Not the Dame’s fault. She did the best she could with that script.
It needs climate control work…the climate is no longer controlled.
