Hm, you have a point there. :lol:
And I agree Expo on the current state of things, especially the Great Wall of Epcot and the area just outside the turnstiles heading toward the buses. That area really has been just forgotten and it does need some desperate attention. Just because its not "inside" the park doesn't mean it shouldn't look nice. Its the first and last impression people have - it should be a good one. Another area is all along the berm seperating the parking lot from the tram lane (where those massive oaks are). That area needs some sprucing up as well.
I think this fence is just as much of a heinous offense as Leave a Legacy. And it's all to save a buck on a bag check policy that we don't need anyways.
I've never quite understood for the desire of this. I can't really figure out what would be the significance of this building being blue that would be that much better than tan. I'm kind of surprised people aren't clamoring more for The Living Seas to be returned to its original color instead, or complaining about Fountain View being purple.

I totally agree, but maybe at least with a colored lighting scheme.

One color scheme at Epcot I'd like to see leave is the yellowish color you see on some of the cielings and overhangs of the ticket booths outside the park. Rather unpleasent looking.

I agree with you, although I do love it and appreciate it for what it is now.

It's that arid look! The warm blazed out tans and pinks of Innov. Plaza make the Orlando sun all the much hotter. The Blue buildings of old( And the silver, and the ponds, and the sculpted plants and trees) provide for a much cooler and futuristic look.
The Living Seas looks good in blue.:lol: I never understood why it was tan in the first place.:lol:

Why would we complain about the Fountainview being purple?

Yeah, personally I have no problem what color the buildings are for the most part. I thought blue seemed logical for The Living Seas. Tan seems great to me for the CommunCore/Innoventions. I think purple is a bit of an oddball choice for Fountain View. Giving the circular protusions out of the main buildings a different color isn't a bad idea, but light blue like what Earth Station used to be, or something else probably would have been much better.

Anything is better that another arid color.
And CCore's original color was purple. I wouldn't mind a silver and purple motif for the area.

Hm, that might work. It would fit the purple/silver/blue motif of the directional signs...
But there is that rumor about Innoventions getting a blue and green overlay. Is that still on the table?

No idea, but I wouldn't mind. :lol:
And Martin has been talking about a FW Central Aesthetic Update for a while.:shrug:
I thought it was light blue just like Earth Station? And I really want purple to be gone, Future World's colors are blue and silver. I remember reading in a design article that the color purple represents insanity. Which, now come to think of it, seems more than appropriate considering Future World's current identity crisis.

Outside was Tan. Inside was very purple. :lol: So was the logo, if you remember. I was thinking more silver than purple and even when it *was* used, it would be minimally and more in a metallic fashion.
Blue and silver would work too.

To me, there is just something particularly cool and futuristic about blue and silver. Of course, it's entirely possible that EPCOT Center gave me that impression in the first place.

Hm, I think you two are on to something. :lol:
Still, there is some truth to that. A deep, bright blue with silver DOES look very sleek and futuristic. I also find red, black, and silver can do the same thing, but maybe thats just me. :shrug:

But of course, the designers didn't just arbitrarily choose those colors, they would be the best ones to convey the feeling they wanted. Silver is particularly futuristic, perhaps subconsciously conjuring images of gleaming spaceships and advanced robots. And then blue is certainly the most optimistic color. Futurism and optimism, the EPCOT fundamentals. Not madness/purple.

1-It does not look good in Baby Blue.
2-Living Seas was never tan, it was white. (Read the story about the CEO of United Technologies and John Hench. Hilarious.)
