They are very specifically dead set on not tearing it down. Obviously that may change if time goes on with no development, but they spent a lot of money on structural improvements that they are not going to throw away yet. There is a desire to reuse the dome again, how far that desire will go is anybody's guess. It's not considered an issue of high importance at the moment.
That’s what I think about a lot of attractions. Even JIWFF. Reminds me of the story rod miller, the original walk around dreamfinder where about 10-15 years after the fact, one of his old imagineering buddies told him “rod, I worked on Journey Into Your Imagination, I’m sorry” also Kevin rafferty. I gotta get his book.
HISTA was so huge that they rethemed the entire pavilion around it. The Imagination Institute concept was created for HISTA, then when that film was a hit they made it the theme of the ride. HISTA coexisted with Imagination 2/3 (therefore giving the whole pavilion a cohesive theme) for far longer than it did with the original.

Because imagination has been left to rot for 25-ish years.
The avengers campus they built here at California adventure feels like a generic business park or something I’d see at six flags not in a Disney park. They better announce a lot more about the avengers e ticket ride too at this years d23. Because if not or if they cancel it again, the campus is doomed.
what they have done is turned it into a dumping ground so they can put whatever they want wherever they want, cohesiveness is gone and by design now. Epcot can still be great again. I still have hope that any upcoming projects may be better planned out, as test track could be the role model maybe going forward. However after the Morocco fiasco among other things it doesn't feel very promising does it. There is just no way SE escapes IP stuffing of some sort whenever it sees new attention.
all out of California I think, clueless.
Yes but for some reason, they do a good job for Disneyland if it is exactly the same team... There should be enough people in place with TDO that understand that park...that could have prevented a lot of the failures of this "reimagining " of EPCOT...
That's because DLR is an heirloom. To be protected and cultivated. Everything else is a money grab. WDW is looked down upon.
If you're referring to SSE (though I feel like you mean the EPCOT project at large) there's a funny story behind that! They had no idea that all the little remnants of the 94 show were still there until after they made it to the project site (this was after the rehab was already announced iirc, and certainly long after creative was well underway).
That seems surprising considering I would assume any CM working SSE would be aware that that stuff is there. Don't they see some of it during track walks, don't other CMs tell them about it?
