Word in going around numerous Disney websites that the classic Imageworks Rainbow Tunnel will return in the new EPCOT Experience Center located in the former Odysssey building later this year. I tried to post a link to one of these articles, but this link was blocked.

Isn't this the old rumor from Tommy back in June?

Yep. Can't find any current "news" about this... every google result is from July (back when The Seas was closing!), and quotes him.

Also, this thread is just straight clickbait and should be closed. Title is written as if it's news, not some 6 month old guess by TC.

Are you sure its current and legitimate info?
This rumor was around months ago and then when the EPCOT experience center did open it was not in there.

Why install it months after the initial hype has died off and everyone’s moved on?
I always doubted a return of the full, original corridor. After all, everyone knows it’s impossible to refurbish obsolete lighting controls, and the rainbow corridor is a lot more obsolete then the Lights of Winter arches ever were.
But, it could make sense for there to be a much smaller scale mock up ‘Instagram photo opportunity’ set-piece somewhere...

I'm sorry, there was hype?
It was just neon tubes, some sensors and a controller.... plenty of parts around to make it happen.

Links to your sources, please, so that this can be readily debunked.
In the future, please don't post rumors without such links. This is how bad rumors spread.
Yes. He saw the rainbow artwork in the marketing of New Epcot and presumed they were coming back in some form.
There is little room for them in the current Odyssey pavilion.

I had thought it was due to Ralph and Vanellope's little access portal they come in and out of from their M&G..
