What's the latest on Hollywood Studios investment? Because it seems we all agree something is coming, likely a land(s) and/or re-theme of the coaster. The IP's I've heard are Monsters Inc., Zootopia, Simpsons, and while I haven't seen or heard anyone say this I personally could see Big Hero 6 also.

EPCOT VP just declared the park transformation complete with the opening of Communicore Hall. RIP to the other projects, I guess.
As they redo Test Track lol. I get the VP meant the D23 announcements are complete but wouldn't be surprised if new stuff is still announced.

And what a mess that turned out to be. Hopefully soon they can attempt to repair the damage, if that’s even possible. Starting with putting back a fountain.

Exactly at least the portion of the park is done… now on to the rest.

I genuinely think EPCOT is significantly improved over a few years ago, but the lack of fountains is a strange decision. There should be a large fountain display, Europa-Park style, in the water area in front of the Odyssey at the minimum.

In the original concept art they even showed fountains in the water area around the Odyssey. Not sure what happened to that.

Yeah I remember well. Honestly it’s omission is strange.
It wouldn’t even be that expensive for the insane visual interest it would generate. It’s a no brainer to add one.
I fish they’d fill in the south half of the Tomorrowland Speedway with a lake and put fountains there too.
The thread lol

I wasn't sure if you were referring to some specific rumor/project, hah.
I agree. One of my favorite things apart of the 100 celebrations was the addition of fountains outside the castle at Disneyland. Just adds so much kinetic energy. Here's hoping they add them to the water areas for some type of celebration in the future.

I’ve been thinking about this and I keep thinking about how we all laughed at the Mickey Views report about Frontierland getting the ax while back but it looks like soon the only left standing will be the Country Bears and who knows what that will actually look like when it reopens.
And yes Big Thunder is still going to be there but it’s being absorbed into the new desert themed expansion and possibly getting new story elements with the retrack work.
The DVC lounge is supposed getting a Frontierland facade. Diamond Horseshoe should also be staying. And Country Bears. And the Riverboat. And TSI. And BTMR.
So... still Frontierlandsy... as much as Disney has defined "Frontierland."
I agree. To be honest though I'm personally ok if this happens, mainly because IMO Magic Kingdom has the worst Frontierland. Especially when compared to the versions at DL and DLP, plus the similar lands at HKDL and TDL. Plus I think having a desert land area next to Big Thunder, and do old wood buildings in a country/New Orleans Bayou area where Bears and Pecos is would actually look nice. I know it's rumored this is cancelled but I do think something weird is happening with the addition of the DVC lounge. Curious to see what it ends up looking like.
