Yeah that's true, but since these kingdoms didn't bring new forms of communication to our world, they aren't in the ride. Later for World Showcase you will go deeper into the ancient worlds of all the cultures you mentioned.

The Next Generation: Walt Disney World Resort
- Thread starter orlando678-
- Start date
The next areas will be:
Past Spaceship Earth, guests will arrive at the Epcot Central Plaza. In the center of the plaza is the Fountain of Nations. The stage in front of the fountain, the Pin Central Kiosk and the purple canopy will be removed from the area so that old water jets and the view of the fountain can be improved. New flower beds, trees and bushes will be added. Also grass beds will be added for small picknick areas. Small ponds and canals with rocky waterfalls will be added to give it a greener feel. New paths to Future World East and West will be created for a faster way to travel to the Living Seas and the Universe of Energy.
The Innoventions buildings will receive a new paint sheme of blue, purple and white. Innoventions is known as the Main Street U.S.A of Epcot Center. Inside are many displays and even some attractions based on the pavilions of Epcot. The inside of the buildings will be more similar to a futuristic technology convention of companies like Siemens, Raytheon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Space X etc. Where the current Art of Disney gallery is will be Walt Disney's Epcot Center Gallery. Here guests can learn about the original ideas of Epcot, the past of Epcot and even explore about the future of Epcot. You can see concept art, models and even see a show hosted by Walt Disney who represents his ideas about Progress City.
In the same building will be a new home for the Carousel of Progress. Originally constructed for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair this stage show presents one American family's experiences with evolving technology. The show will feature two new scenes based on the 1950s and the 1970s. In the 1950s scene we will see a television where we can see the whole family watching the opening of Disneyland with Walt Disney's famous speech. I always thought that the step from 1940s to the future was too big and that's why I added the 1970s scene where you get to see a retro style house. All the scenes will be updated with new technology and effects. For example the screens will be replaced by static screens that darken without light, but get lighter and reveal the scene behind them if lit up.
Other things in Innoventions are the Sum of All Thrills, THINK, Club Cool with the international Coca Cola Taste Post and Project Tomorrow from Spaceship Earth. Also some exhibits from the former Communicore will return like Epcot Outreach, SMRT-1 and the Electric Forum. I'd also like to add a few new exhibits like one based on recycling with Wall-E. At the far end of the building is a new restaurant replacing the Electric Umbrella. This now restaurant will become the Food Track Cafe. Here guests will be led to their table, where they will find I-pads which are build inside their table. Here guests can order their meals and drinks. In this restaurant however, no cast member will come to bring your food, but food will come to your table by tracks that are all around the restaurant. It looks like a small rollercoaster for the food and drinks.
Another place for entertainment is near this new cafe. The building will be expanded for a new attraction called New Horizons. Yes, this ride will be based on the original Horizons ride. You will now pass by scenes based on the future that never was and about possible futures. In the first few scenes we pass by futuristic ideas by vissionaries like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. For example their ideas about going outerspace. Then we will pass by both original as new scenes. I'd like to add some scenes that are based on the endings from the former Spaceship Earth ride. For example a green city. Also I'd like to add new scenes based on civilizations in Arctic and even undergound conditions. Some scenes from the original ride will be based on Sea Castle, Mesa Verde and others. Guests again get to choose their own ending. A new instrumental version of the New Horizons song will play around and throughout the attraction. At the exit will be a small exhibit where you can explore some of the present research done for today's creation of tomorrow.
The Southern buildings will be replaced by Centorium. This will be the largest shop of Epcot Center. The store is so large that there are two levels in both buildings. The first floors feature Epcot Center and Disney merchandise, while the second floors will have an assortment of Future World and Epcot Center Sponsor items. The second levels connect the buildings so that an arch is created that leads to Worlds Showcase. Inside are two domes , one for each building. The domes are made up of screens. On these screens you will see commercials of Epcot, from every Future World pavilion to every World Showcase country. Although, the Epcot Character Spot has been removed from the park, Mickey and his friends can still be seen around the area. Also in the Central Plaza are the Jam-itors and the Future Corps marching band.
I hope you enjoyed this new area. Next time we are visiting the first pavilion of Future World West, The Living Seas!
Epcot Central Plaza and Innoventions:
Past Spaceship Earth, guests will arrive at the Epcot Central Plaza. In the center of the plaza is the Fountain of Nations. The stage in front of the fountain, the Pin Central Kiosk and the purple canopy will be removed from the area so that old water jets and the view of the fountain can be improved.

New paths to Future World East and West will be created for a faster way to travel to the Living Seas and the Universe of Energy.

China started printing books about 600 years before Gutenberg.....
(Not to be a pain, just pointing things out)
But I totally forgot that SE had an emphasis on communication. I never even realized that the broad theme of the ride was communication.
I know China did, but its going to be important in another new ride in Epcot Center.
I hope that new narration would help the ride to regain its' theme of communication.

Now we shall go under the sea in:
The Future World pavilions all have seen major changes, however these changes made the park move away from its' original theme step by step. Epcot was meant to be a theme park where not only families could have a good time, but also to be educated. The original futuristic edutainment system disappeared after changes as Nemo. The original Living Seas pavilion was perfect for the Epcot theme and that's why I'm bringing its' theme back. Here we will explore the future of deep sea exploration. Therefore we are bringing back the original Seabase Alpha theme. The shape of the building will remove all its links with Nemo, but also doesn't look identical to th original building. It will be more futuristic for our generation.
The building will have two entrances, one being the Seaway to Seabase Alpha and the other being the Hydrolators. The Seaway will directly lead to Seabase Alpha where guests can explore various exhibits about the future of underwater research and exploration. There are various great views into the 5.7 million gallon aquarium. I'd like to add some aquariums that use interactive tricks similar to what Sealife does. One aspect of the Nemo overlay will stay at the pavilion. This will be the Turtle Talk with Crush. The storyline will be slightly adjusted to the Seabase Alpha theme. In the pre-show we will learn about the hydrophone, a new piece of underwater technology. This new revolutionary invention allows us to speak with underwater creatures. After this introduction, Crush will swim by and the attraction begins. Guests will be able to chat with the laid-back Australian sea turtle from Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo.
The Coral Reef Restaurant will be expanded and more open to other visitors. The overall look of the restaurant will be changes to a quite fancy looking inside of a submarine, similar to how the original Nautilus restaurant was thought up. Also in the area is the Seabase Alpha Gift Post. Here you can buy Living Seas souvenirs, but you can also find a few Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid items.
Then we will talk about the other way to go to Seabase Alpha, by the Hydrolators. Upon entering the building, guests would enter a circular dome like room. In the middle would be a pillar like object. The ceiling will be covered by screens, while on the sides are a few windows from which you can see an aquarium. From the pillar, an audio animatronic figure of Neptune, a futuristic deep sea exploration robot. He will introduce the Living Seas pavilion with information about Seabase Alpha. He will then show a 10-minute long video based on Disneynature's documentary, Oceans. After exiting the theater Neptune tells you to usher into the Hydrolators that will simulate the feel of travelling deep beneath the sea.
The Hydrolators will lead to a new ride which will replace the Nemo ride. This new ride will be called Mysteries of the Seas. In this ride you will board a futuristic submarine vehicle similar to the vehicles from Tokyo Disneysea's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The front of the submarine will be made of glass. The window will open upwards so that guests will be able to sit. Each vehicle has seats for 4 people. Each person gets a task in the deep sea exploring. One will be captain( one who gets to move the direction of the submarine, which can move slightly upwards, to the right, to the left or downwards), one will control the lights( which can be moved around to focus on certain plants, creatures and other objects), one will be watching the radar to explore what's around in the surroundings and one will be able to skin certain living things as plants and fish. The scanner will offer a few facts about the scanned creature or plant.
The ride will be dry for wet and simulates the feeling of exploring the mysterious bottoms of the sea. You will pass by fish, avoid an attack by sharks, discover sunken ships, explore new wildlife and end up at Seabase Alpha. A new scene with Seabase Alpha in the back will become the climax of the ride. The EAC scene will also become part of this ride, but the screens will be replaced by the inside of a shipwreck. The aquarium sides will be covered by coral reef rocks to make it seem as if you're really underwater and not riding past an aquarium.
There are a few other amazing experiences like the Epcot Center DiveQuest. Here certified Scuba divers have the ability to experience a 40-minute underwater tour of the main tank. The divers get special Seabase Alpha suits so that it doesnt ruin the underwater feel of the Mysteries of the Seas. Other experiences are the Epcot Center Seas Aqua Tour and the Dolphins in Depth experience. These are all the exciting experiences at the Living Seas!
Let me know what you think about it, next time we will visit a new pavilion, which is going to be reallyyyy big.
The Living Seas:
The Future World pavilions all have seen major changes, however these changes made the park move away from its' original theme step by step. Epcot was meant to be a theme park where not only families could have a good time, but also to be educated. The original futuristic edutainment system disappeared after changes as Nemo. The original Living Seas pavilion was perfect for the Epcot theme and that's why I'm bringing its' theme back. Here we will explore the future of deep sea exploration. Therefore we are bringing back the original Seabase Alpha theme. The shape of the building will remove all its links with Nemo, but also doesn't look identical to th original building. It will be more futuristic for our generation.
So now we will visit the new pavilion of Future World. This one will be in between the Living Seas and the Land. It will be known as:
Energy, Space, Land, Seas, and now Weather. This theme fits Epcot Center pefectly. The building will be similar to its' symbol, a sun rising behind the clouds. Inside are the Halls of Weather. Many new experiences for the Epcot Center guests will be present. Inside are 3 attractions, 2 food services,1 shop and many different exhibits.
The other e-ticket in the pavilion will be Weathercatchers. Join the weathercatchers, a group of weather specialists who catch and control several weather conditions. In the ride it is explained that we are needed to help the weathercatchers to catch four different weather conditions being a rainbow, a thunderstorm, a tornado and a blizzard. Board a special vehicle created by the weathercatchers. This vehicle will be a new type of EMV vehicle which seats 16 people. We are then released into nature where guests will encounter the different weather conditions. The ride will use several special effects as wind, water, fire, temperature, smoke and more.
The last attraction wil be A Cloudy Adventure. This will be an IMAX theater movie where we follow Cloudy, a rain cloud. Guests will follow him from the moment he's created up to the moment where he looses his rain and returns to the waters on Earth. In the ride you will learn about the water cycle and about the precipitation system. Also the importance for humans and the enivornment will be an important aspect of the movie. The theater seats will move and react to some things happening during the show.
Then guests can visit the Weatherport. This will be an exhibit hall themed to different aspects and kinds of weather. The central focus of the Weatherport is the 40-feet tall Tornado Tower. This tower reaches to the ceiling and is made of glass. Guests can see a tornado is created if they interact on screens so that they can "create" a tornado inside the tower. Other exhibits here are the Hurricane Alley experience where guests can experience different levels of hurricanes by strength, the meteorologist studio where you can become the meteorologist and act in front of a green screen, The Storm Struck exhibit where guests can see the improvements on houses that work against harsh weather conditions( This new Storm Struck exhibit will be more similar to Twister! from Universal Studios Florida), The Weatherlabs where you can combine basic weather conditions to create others, for example creating a rainbow by adding sunshine to rainfall, and many other individual exhibits at interactive kiosks that teach you more about different weather types.
A quick service called the Winds of Change will be present too. Here you can enjoy American and European meals. There will also be a table service, The Apollo Terrace. Here guests can enjoy Mediterannean, American and Middle-Eastern dishes. The restaurant looks like a Greek Temple dedicated to the sun and the god of the sun, Apollo. There will be a big mural dedicated to this god. The shop will be known as Weatherworks. Here you can buy items based on Epcot Center and especially the Wonders of Weather pavilion. There will be some items based on Disney Pixar's Partly Cloudy.
Did you like this new pavilion? Let me know your thoughts. Next time we will visit The Land!
Wonders of Weather:
Energy, Space, Land, Seas, and now Weather. This theme fits Epcot Center pefectly. The building will be similar to its' symbol, a sun rising behind the clouds. Inside are the Halls of Weather. Many new experiences for the Epcot Center guests will be present. Inside are 3 attractions, 2 food services,1 shop and many different exhibits.
The inside will look like various domes which lets light in. The domes will be made of glass of course. The walls under the domes will have murals of a sky with a sunrise, a rainfall, blizzard, rainfall, a rainbow, a thunderstorm and a hailstorm. The first addition will be The Jet Stream. This will be a dark ride. Here guests board a vehicle themed to a cloud, which seats 6 people. In the ride you will fly along the winds of change. Guests will experience extreme heat, huge rainfall, strong winds and other weather conditions. The dark ride will be held by an overhead track, similar to Peter Pan's Flight.

Glad you like the ideas! And its no problem if you want to share your ideas, you don't have to if you dont want me to use them though, however I will always give credits.
Just a question before hand, would it be okay to get rid of the Odyssey building, push back the international gateway, get rid of the canals, get rid of the food and wine building, get rid of outpost, get rid of the miniature trains and getting new World Showcase pavilions in it? Also how many countries do you think would fit? I've done some research and there are theories that 17 more pavilions could fit if you push back the International gateway and make new countries there that could be connected to France by a bridge. Also the new Frozen meet and greet would close for a new country then and the body of water next to Mexico and China would be removed. Just thinking of possibilities, but I want to cover as much as possible of the world in world showcase. Let me know how many countries you think could fit Epcot Center. Also if you have any other ideas of expanding the park, let me know, please.

only 11 more countries could fit in World Showcase because the canals are used for transportation and illumations and International Getaway is unable to be pushed back because The Yacht and Beach Club Resort and the United Kingdom pavilion are surrounding the International Gateway. Removing World Showplace would give you space to expand the UK Pavilion with Scotland and Removing The outpost would give you space for a New Pavilion. Demolishing the Frozen meet'n'greet building, relocating backstage areas and relocating the Donald meet'n'greet between Mexico and Norway would give you the space to turn Norway into a Scandinavia pavilion representing Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland(Arendelle will be featured in the pavilion in a climate controlled building next to Test Track's Outdoor Speed Loop which will have to be enclosed and The Mexico Pavilion). The Odyssey pavilion should be kept and turned into a World Travel themed Buffet restaurant/gift shop serving dishes representing 60 countries and selling World Showcase Exclusive merchandise. It would be okay to remove the miniature train because a Pavilion with a mountain is needed between Germany and Itlay.

I'm not really into the combined pavilion of Scandinavia though.. Also I actually wanted to add Ireland instead of Scotland, because Scotland is going to be represented in another park. Also I am going to add a restaurant like that, but I think its going to be near World Showplace, along with a new pavilion.

I made an account just to ask about this, I thought there was room for only 8 more countries? How would 11 countries fit in?

World Showcase was designed with expansion pads for additional countries during its construction because Epcot was originally envisioned to have 20 countries on opening day. The Expansion pads are located between Mexico and Norway(This expansion pad is designed for two countries) , China and Germany, Germany and Italy, Italy and America, America and Japan, Japan and Morocco, Morocco and France and World Showplace.
How is there ever going to fit a pavilion between America and Italy and America and Japan though? I think its best to put some other things there, but we have to wait a long time for that still haha
Probably today or tomorrow

Then we move on to the third Future World pavilion. Welcome to:
Between the Wonders of Weather and the Imagination pavilions lies this treasure of Epcot Center, The Land. Here you can find various experiences based on the beauty of Earth, climates and about agriculture. It would be great to have a new sponsor for the pavilion like Adecoagro, Adler Seeds or AgricSa. This pavilion is dedicated to human interaction with nature itself. It teaches guests about how we can keep the balance between benefit and destroyal in nature. Future technology in better preserving the land is also explored in the pavilion along with a focus on the celebration of the land itself. The pavilion's interior will receive a new futuristic green city design with earth tone colors and exotic plant life. The ceiling will have a sky mural with the sky in the four seasons. From overhead, 6 air balloons fly up in the sky.
Upon entering the pavilion, you will find yourself in a gigantic area. In the middle of the area are new grass beds and trees with picknick tables as the tables for the Terra Verde Food Market. This will be a food court with various different options to choose from being the Barbecue Grill Shop, the Bakery( Croissants, bread buns), Salad Garden( Soup and salads), Lunch shop( offers lunch dishes and sandwiches), Fruit store and Breakfast corner( offers pastries and english breakfast). In the center of the building is a new fountain. A tree with lanterns which look like seeds stands in the middle. Various streams of water come from the tree.
Inside the Harvest Theater is a new show called Seasons. This audio animatronic show will be hosted by King Winter, Lord Autumn, Lady Spring and Queen Summer. In the show you will experience the powers of seasonal change. There will be movie parts and physical effects like "snow" and summer heat in the attraction. The characters will teach us how people control the land eventhough seasons make it very hard and that the seasonal changes are very much needed for an ideal situation. Upstairs are also new exhibits like Pest Patrol( kill pest with bug spray guns in tis interactive Goofy Paint n Play house style game), Cash Cows( answer trivia questions about agriculture eith your host Clarence Cow) and Seed Savers( interactive game where you have to bring a seed to an ending point where its save).
Also inside the pavilion is the Garden Grill, a circular rotating restaurant which offers great meals. Guests can also view over some scenes from The Living With The Land Attraction. The restaurant offers healthy meals with some ingredients from their own production. Mickey and his pals will sometimes come to entertain your family during your dinner too!
After a nice meal at one of the two services you can board a boat in Living With The Land. This attraction teaches guests about many different procedures in agriculture. Also we will explore different climates, from deserts to American farmhouses. In the dark ride there will be new scenes that follow agricultural systems from the past, the present and even from the future. The audio animatronics will become full motion. The use of live guides will be re-introduced to the ride, since it gives a more ineractive experience to the guests. Also the Listen to the Land song will return. Epcot Center also offers a Behind the Seeds Tour of the Epcot Center greenhouses.
One of the most popular attractions of Epcot Center and the whole of Walt Disney World is Soarin'. This attraction will let guests explore the world after a long refurb, which includes the adding of the third theater. The new ride will be know as Soarin' over the Horizon. The scenes will be more circular and will have HD quality. Also the effects will be majorly improved, with the addition of smoke effects and temperature. The new queue will be longer to keep the attendance in balance will the queue. The queue will also receive new elements as a World Map where you have to guess the countries. In the queue are also new tv screens which teach guests about flight in the past, the present and the future.
The new attraction will have a randomized system. This means that every time you ride the attraction you will get a different experience. In this ride you will fly over locations as Paris, the Himalayas, the African Savannah, New York City, the Alps, Kinderdijk, Alaska, Rio de Janeiro, the Great Wall, Sydney and a lot more. I think there are so many options that I'm not even going to mention them all. The transition between the scenes will be the vehicle rising up over the clouds and descending again to another location around the world so the weird transitions we have now can be avoided. Also the original score will return but the style of how the music sounds will change everytime to the area you're flying over. So you will hear the bagpipes when you're flying over Scotland( Edinburgh, Lochness, highlands), a pan flute when flying over Peru( Macchu Picchu) and a Spanish guitar when you fly over Spain( Seville, Madrid or Barcelona)
Nearby is the Soarin' Tour Desk. Here you can sign up for the Behind the Seeds Tour or purchase Mickey's Mini Gardens, tiny plants produced through tissue culture in nutrient gel and packaged in sterile tubes. The Green Thumb Emporium will be expanded so that it can sell more and new merchandise. A new assortment of Soarin souvenirs as T-shirts and pins, along with disposable cameras, Mickey Mini Gardens and new Living with the Land and Seasons merchandise. The shop will also focus on food and gardening.
Okay, so that was the Land. What did you think about it? Next time we will visit Figment at the Imagination Pavilion!

We move on to the last pavilion of Future World West being:
The next pavilion we are going to talk about is the Imagination Pavilion which really needs a lot of help. Yes I'm bringing back the Dreamfinder and Figment, but their roles in the pavilion will be completely different compared to the original version. The Imagination Institute theme will be removed completely. The pavilion will look like it was build just yesterday. There will be a new color scheme which re-introduces the blue, orange and purple adorned on the building. Outside the jumping fountains will be updated with new lights inside the water andnew sounds coming from the fountains as water flies in the air. The backwards waterfall will also be updated with new effects to make it look more like a waterfall. The garden will be improved with new plants, flower beds and trees. The Dreamfinder and his little friend Figment often meet guests in the gardens.
The lobby will be completely changed. When you enter you get three different options. The first option leads to the new Journey into Imagination attraction. An interactive queue with small games based on using your imagination. The attraction however will be nothing like it was before. This ride will be a new trackless ride with next gen technology. Every ride will have 5 vehicles as one group during te attraction. Throughout the ride One Little Spark will play in different styles. In the attraction you will pass through a tunnel. Inside the tunnel are clouds. Then, a silhouette of the Dreamfinder in his Dream Mobile. Then we enter a room which is similar to the introduction room in Mystic Manor, but now we are surrounded by clouds. In the center of the room is the Dream Mobile with the Dreamfinder up front. He tells us that he collects dreams and ideas to create all sorts of things. Soon he creates a figment of his imagination: two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of steet, but a loveable fellow! From head to tail, he's a purple pigment, and there voila! You've got a Figment!
Figment then tells us that we have to travel to the Dreamport to deliver some dreams of imagination. Our vehicles move into the next room. This room represents Sound. You can see the Dreamfinder playing a massive organ with words and musical notes coming out of it. Figment can be seen playing the guitar while around him instruments start to play on their own. The characters teach us that we imagine great things with sound and that without there wouldnt be any imagination. The words, rhytms and melodies all inspire us in our lives and dreams.
We then move into a gallery like corridor. This is the Arts scene. The Dreamfinder and Figment teach us that art can be anything and anything can be art. Also art is the us of imagination and there are so many different ways to make art. The Dreamfinder holds a bucket from which rainbows come from. The colour spats from the rainbows can be seen everywhere in the gallery. Figment works on a self portrait with the Dreamfinder, which starts to move and sing. Other works in the gallery are the Mona Lisa( will start laughing really hard from time to time), the Scream( will start to scream from time to time), the Thinker( who looks up and says Think Think Think from time to time), Parisian gargoyles( who will growl and jump up to vehicles) and A Sunday Afternoon( where Figment will pass by with the painted characters folllowing him while being very confused). We then pass through a painting of Escher.
This painting leads us to the Illusions scene. Various optical illusions can be seen here. Figment disappears inside a glass box, you can see an endless hallway, upside down room and the Dreamfinder will be hypnotized by the famous black and white pattern. Other paintings of optical illusions can be seen, including some of Escher's works. The Dreamfinder and Figment tell us that illusions play with our imagination in the weirdest ways, which makes things seem to move or even disappear.
The vehicles then swoop into a lab like room, the Science scene. Various tubes with unknown liquids are all around. Figment can be seen doong an experiment with two liquids, but it seems to go wrong and it explodes, leaving figment in black smoke. The Dreamfinder is observing plant life, but he doesn't seem to notice that a carnivorous plant is trying to find a meal. We distract the plant from eating the Dreamfinder and nearly escape the teeth of the monster. Also in the Science scene are electronic balls and telescopes exploring the stars and planets of our universe. We then pass by a projector, which projects images on the wall.
The vehicles move through an opening in the wall and we find ourselves in the Movies scene. We first pass by audio animatronic dancers who welcome us to the cinema premier of Figment and the Dreamfinder the movie! Hollywood lights and cameras are all around us. Inside the cinema are various movie screens with Figment being an astronaut, a knight, a cowboy, a deepsea diver, a climber, a rockstar, a farmer, a jungle explorer, a wizard, a pirate and a gangster. The Dreamfinder is behind his camera in the center of the room. He then says ah we are almost at the Dreamport. We pass through another tunnel and see the silhouette of the Dream Mobile again. The Dream Mobile seems to descend as they are out of fuel.
We land into Nightmare land. This light scary scene will have you and the characters encounter scary things as spiders, ghosts, bats and more. The scene will be very dark and it will be similar to a dark forest with haunted castles in the background. A hill with a wolf howling in front of the moon can also be seen. A shivering Figment is seen trying to run from a black cat. The Dreamfinder says: Quick, everyone, we need your help to get to the Dreamport safely, but we need more fuel. If we all imagine together, we should get enough fuel to get to the Dreamport and escape this place very fast. Then like pixie dust projections appear all around us. It forms a portal leading us to a new lighter scene, the Dreamport!
The Dreamport scene will be like a cloud made room with vaults filled with dreams and imagination. You will be able to see various orbs with dreams of children inside, like a girl who dreams to be a princess and a boy who dreams to be a pirate. The Dreamfinder and Figment thank guests for travelling with them to the Dreamport and say goodbye( see you in your dreams!).
The other option is to go upstairs to Imageworks or the new Dreamfinder's Workshop. Here guests can walk under the rainbow corridor( with new light effects), Image warp, Figment's Philharmonic( interactive game where you can activate virtual instruments to play songs as One Little Spark, When You Wish Upon A Star, Grim Grinning Ghosts and It's A Small World), stepping tones, Illussion hall( a gallery with games and pictures of various optical illussions) and Compose your own imaginary friend( you can even print it out or send it to an adress of choice).
The third option leads to a new restaurant called the Dreamstop. Here you are led to your table. You order via a wish screen, which sends a message to the kitchen. Your food and drinks are then send by underground pipes to a box in the middle of the table. Figment will say something like Hey, everyone your wish has been sent to the Dreamport and will soon arrive at your table! when you ordered and Your wish is almost there get ready to open the dream box in the center of your table, oh and enjoy your meal! The Dreamfinder and Figment will meet you at your table from time to time. The restaurant will be very cloud like and various imaginative objects are in the restaurant with which guests can interact. Also a shop called the Sparks of Imagination will be present. Various Epcot Center and Imagination pavilion items can be found here.
Next time we are going to visit the Universe of Energy Pavilion. We still have 5 pavilions to go for Future World before visiting World Showcase, so keep sticking around for that.
Imagination!:
The next pavilion we are going to talk about is the Imagination Pavilion which really needs a lot of help.

The Dreamfinder and his little friend Figment often meet guests in the gardens.
http://www./wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Musical-Instruments.jpg
Then a closet moves away to reveal a secret library. This library has books with pages coming to life. This is the literature scene. Here we learn that literature opens up our imagination and transports us to other worlds. You will see various books coming alife like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Gulliver's Travels, Moby Dick, The Odyssey etc. Figment acts out Hamlet while the Dreamfinder tries to keep a book called Frankenstein closed, while a big green hand comes from out of the book. Also books will fly around the library.
The other option is to go upstairs to Imageworks or the new Dreamfinder's Workshop. Here guests can walk under the rainbow corridor( with new light effects), Image warp, Figment's Philharmonic( interactive game where you can activate virtual instruments to play songs as One Little Spark, When You Wish Upon A Star, Grim Grinning Ghosts and It's A Small World), stepping tones, Illussion hall( a gallery with games and pictures of various optical illussions) and Compose your own imaginary friend( you can even print it out or send it to an adress of choice).

Outside is another surprise for the guests of the Imagination pavilion. Here is the Magic Garden with a spinning Figment topiary and of course fountains and new flower beds. A new ride called Flight of the Dreamcatchers will also be here. This will be an all new spinner flat ride. This ride would create new family and kinetic experiences in the area. The vehicles will be similar to the Dream mobile, but smaller. Also they will all be different from each other. The ride's backstory is that the Dreamfinder and Figment have created Dreamcatcher vehicles and your help to catch some dreams. Guests can levitate the vehicle, activate lasers and lights, loose some bubbles and make sound by various buttons inside the vehicles. A figment audio animatronic in an air balloon will be in the center encouraging guests to catch dreams and telling jokes during the attraction. At night beautiful LED lights light up the spinner and the rest of the pavilion. With these new elements and additions I hope to create a new popular area for our new generation of Epcot Center!
Next time we are going to visit the Universe of Energy Pavilion. We still have 5 pavilions to go for Future World before visiting World Showcase, so keep sticking around for that.
