EPCOT Updates to the Seas Pavilion

Looks like the Sea Base Alpha aquariums are getting some work done:

I’m for any kind of improvement to The Living Seas. I would especially be for any kind that removed the lazy and not well implemented Nemo junk.

I doubt Nemo is going away, but I hope at least they reimagine it, and make it more appropriate and better implemented.

 

[MaximumEd]

That would work for me. I’d prefer an IP free Seas, but Dory could work well, provided Imagineerig could take the gloves off and not have the bean counters kill them.

If the Georgia Aquarium didn't exist...then the Living Seas pavilion would be cool. ...but alas there's the G.A., as beautiful as ever...

They really halfway did it. Painting all the Sea Base Alpha panels blue doesn't really do it. Glad to see they are replacing the under water parts though. They were looking rough.

I think Nemo is a fine addition if done correctly. If they had gone full coral like you were in an undersea air pocket, it would have been, in my opinion, one of the best pavilions. Sucks to lose the future stuff, but come on, if it was future sea stuff it would just be a picture of James Cameron everywhere.

Guess we'll just have to remember the 20 years it was around before the Georgia Aquarium.

Florida Aquarium is not to shabby as well and closer.

Puh-lease. The Audobon Aquarium in New Orleans blows them both out of the water.

You must of not have been to the Shedd aquarium in Chicago.

All this is great, but if I'm visiting WDW, I'm not driving to the Florida Aquarium, the Georgia aquarium, or any other aquarium. I'm at Disney.

Regarding Nemo, the minute I saw Finding Dory I thought they should reimagine Seas as the Marine Life Institute and make it educational again.

I wonder if Sigourney Weaver is available?

The National Aquarium in Baltimore is better than all of them.

My gulf of mexico trumps all aquariums. Can we get back to the work?

My aquarium is bigger than yours

The Seas pavilion has aquatic animals to look at. And it's at DisneyWorld. And it's air-conditioned. Boom.

this might be the funniest thing I've read all day.

That's gotta be a fun job.

There are plans for a lot of work to the pavilion. If it keeps funding remains to be seen.

"If it keeps funding..." That seems to be a common theme lately.

Last month after our cruise we stayed at BCV for one night and hit Epcot for the day. My (almost) 4 year old gets off of Nemo with her sister and says, "Daddy, I did not care for that ride....it was too short". What does that tell you?

Is this mostly blue sky planning?
Concepts like a new hub, WOL, Seas, Imagination, Epcot Hotel, Even the Space Restaurant (which does not even look like it is close to ground breaking yet)seem to be great theoretical talking points for the future, but not anything that will realistically be done.
