The problem with "Epcot" as I see it

[DisneyAnole]

I think the biggest problem is how little people can look ahead to new and different kinds of entertainment. Epcot, as with all the parks, is there to entertain. But does that automatically mean adding Nemo and Martin Short?

There are many ways to entertain people. Look at Reflections of Earth. Pure entertainment, inspiring, and it does all this without any actors/characters. Yes, its a fireworks show, but its a good example of what kind of entertainment Epcot should strive for. It lifts the spirit, it tells a story, and it is fun.

The argument always seems to be between "boring, old animatronics dark rides" vs. "Cheap redos with Disney characters and no soul"

I think there should be more options...

Soarin' is a good example of a positive addition to Epcot. Fun and original

But dont you think ROE could be improved if, like, the Genie from Aladdin hosted the show and stuff?? Oh that'd be so kool!

I totally agee. It is torture walking in some places in future world looking at a wasted attraction thinking I used to have so many good memories on this ride and thats not the hard part. The hard part is seeing what they replaced the ride with. Spaceship earth I think is a disappointment. I hope to god they there are some more things coming to the ride. There are temporary walls on both sides but I dont know what that means. When I go there I hit spaceship earth, club cool, watch the fountain like 500 times go on soarin, universe of energy, Take a nap on the living seas until we set to the aquarium than its off to the world showcase.

We never go in Innoventions. It's full of boring stuff.
I think that's the name of it, the building on the right just past SSE on the way to Soarin'.

Marni, without rehashing your whole post,

BRAVO!

Thank you for putting Epcot into perspective and echoing many thoughts I have had while reading the forums.
