Sum of All Thrills Closing?

New entrance plaza and remodelled fountain area (central spine project)

Overhaul for Energy

Weather Pavilion in Wonders

Imagination Four with a large corporate sponsor

Meh, who needs any of that stuff? I mean, the highlight of any Epcot visit is to go watch a video of Ellen deGeneres and Alex Trebeck from circa 25 years ago, after paying your respects at the Epcot Millenium Memorial at the entrance. Just make sure to pay your respects BEFORE going on Imagination; smelling like skunk is very much taboo.

Seriously, we should be updating the updates at this point. The lack of vision displayed by Disney when it comes to Epcot is just maddening. There are no words...

Any of those still being discussed? I for one would love a weather pavilion and to get rid of the tombstones once you get in the gates.

As long as Figment doesn't die (again), I'm good.

You know what they need to replace Sum of All Thrills with.....?

A bar.

Sum Of All Spills

I for one am a huge fan of the Weather pavilion idea since IBM just bought The Weather Channel. Would give IBM a reason to come back to EPCOT

There's been plans for a decade. They just won't execute them.

I'd imagine anything a decade old is coffee book material at this point. I'm sure Tom Fitzgerald came in with all his own ideas and plans by now.

Tom. And Tony.

I don't know. The tombstones have limited time left though. And the sponsor I mentioned fell through for various reasons.

Have you heard anything about the Tron coaster coming to Epcot? And anything on inside/out?

Could the Innovations building/surrounding areas house a "Tron" coaster? Is it physically big enough? If so, then this NEEDS to happen -- and fast.

That would be some thing to see.
The elimination of the tombstones alone would be worth of a "Wow", although in general Disney style, I'm sure they'll be replaced by 6 months of construction walls.

The only thing I've seen them do fast is putting up/taking down holiday decorations.

EPCOT is quickly becoming the sum of all closures.

No.

Weather pavilion would be sweet. Also, expand Mission: Space to a full freaking space pavilion.

@marni1971 any plans for WS that you know of/can divulge?

 

[Nickels5]

If it did come eventually I wouldn't be totally surprised.

Nothing on IO but than doesn't mean yes or no of course. I'm just someone who says what they know when they can.

I know and it's greatly appreciated, would we see an upgraded version of the tron coaster? Hopefully longer

We do not want a tron coaster in Epcot. I don't care if it wraps and runs through the entire front end of the park

Tron coaster would be cool, but not at Epcot. Especially not right next door to Test Track 2.0.

What is everyone's obsession with Tron? I've never seen either movie and despite being a gamer, I have no desire to do so. Epcot needs fewer thematically poor attractions, not more.

People keep getting way to excited about the Tron coaster over in Shanghai. The sad part is the coaster is like 60 seconds and a third of the track is unthemed so I am not sure what people are gushing about. It is not that amazing and does not belong in Epcot.

I have to be honest... I wasn't interested in it either but it turned out to be a great movie. I dont even remember why I started watching it but I'd recommend it to anyone!

Whose we? I want a tron coaster in Epcot and I know many more who would love it, Epcot needs rides.
