News The Seas pavilion new color scheme

[RoysCabin]

I did find it interesting to see the reaction a friend of mine had at The Land when I was there a couple weeks ago; we went into Awesome Planet, then Living with the Land, and then our Soarin' fast pass kicked in, and he said "Woah, I think we've been in this building for around an hour...and we've done a lot."

Just made me miss the whole pavilion concept a lot more; it's most pronounced with Imagination, which in its heyday could easily provide around two hours of quality park time, but it's just not where things are, now. Can't help but think about how many of the newer ride ideas are all really short and lower capacity than the classic stuff, and if that fits into the concept of getting people to be more accepting of buying Genie plus.

The Land pavilion is my favorite place in all of Walt Disney World. Grab lunch, watch Awesome Planet, ride Living with the Land, take the Behind the Seeds Tour, ride Soarin, grab dinner. That’s an entire afternoon.

This is only a mockup, but a new sign like this would look better…

This is the type sign I had hoped we would get to match the other type face! Please Disney

Just a little tweak.

There, much better.

Realistically Disney isn’t going to get rid of nemo. But that doesn’t mean they can’t tone down the tackiness. the new signs and paint job were good improvements.

Indeed, they were. It also doesn't mean I can't keep expressing my dislike for Nemo!

I don't even mind Nemo being at the Seas (I'd much prefer it was still Seabase Alpha, which was one of Imagineering's great triumphs, but considering the IP mandate) -- they just did such a poor job of it. Turtle Talk is fine but the ride is pretty bad, and worse, it involved closing off aquarium views.

Why didn't they use the IP as a tie in to the aquarium to help teach about marine life rather than shoehorning in a poor attraction and calling it a day?

It could have been a marvelous teaching aquarium with Nemo inclusions. Now it's a Nemo museum with some fish and a couple manatees.

It's all about where the emphasis (and spending) goes.

I agree fully and have said something similar since day 1 of this attraction. I could argue the same for Gran Fiesta (though it's not as bad). This comes down to poor storytelling - not poor general ideas. This problem seems to be hindering so many recent Epcot attractions IMHO.

I genuinely love it too, but it definitely needs an interior update.

It really does...the "airport" remodel they did for the addition of Soarin' has really gotten dated fast. I long for the color and whimy of the original interior... Or make the entire interior concourse look like The Land...with soaring trees, Rockwork and waterfalls... Something really dynamic and beautiful... instead of corporate mall/airport with a food court.

I agree. I think doing more natural components would do wonders here, especially as the "future" ascetic is no longer needed. It also would match the more lush World Nature landscaping areas more.

Small updates, some new fish being introduced along with a new interactive area presented by National Geographic. The Seas animal care team also received new costumes this week. Unfortunately unlike the new The Land grow team costumes that debuted, these ones sport the nemo logo and not the circular pavilion logo.

Is this what went into Module 1C or is that still closed? I noticed it was closed yesterday with the A-Frame in the middle photo posed outside of it.
