It's cheaper to leave it to rott than put something new in there. Such a shame. Poor Buzzy is still in situ too, sat there, decaying.

That seriously freaks me out. I always enjoyed that attraction, and to think that poor Buzzy is just sitting there like he's just waiting for someone to flip on the lights really gives me the shivers

Parks are packed so why not fiddle while Rome burns.

It was a park conceived as a sort of "Worlds Fair" in which sponsors sank money into pavilions as a way of flexing their corporate muscle and strutting their stuff by having a corporate lounges for dignitaries. Those days are gone and yet they have not changed their model. Likely they had no corporate interest and lacked the fortitude to seek other bolder futures for the park and this pavilion...ironic really.

It's definitely a money thing, but I so wish they would do something with it.

Even though a lot of people are over the incorporation of characters, I think it would be a great spot for an Inside Out themed attraction. A look inside what makes people tick, as far as psychology/emotions are concerned. Or, Disney could use Magic School Bus and replicate the epic and iconic ride into that one kid's body!

Using characters helps kids learn, and creates memorable experiences. It's been proven time and again.

Why hasn't Disney spent over a hundred million $$$$ to redo WoL?

You folks still fling billions $$$$ at WDW to not.

I think the current footprint of UoE + WoL is the perfect spot for a major new attraction/pavilion...

Don't worry folks, Buzzy is just practicing for his new role of Boozey; the official mascot of Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival.

Why let house a ride when for over half of the year you can leave it as the festival center, charge money for seminars, and lease the space for people to have a party? I mean clearly, TDO is doing this in the best interests of the consumer and the park itself.

It's strictly a money decision, which is why we're going elsewhere this year, even tho Epcot is my favorite park. Sad.

As everyone has pointed out. It's always about the money. Mickey doesn't need anything else in that slot. Florida just set a new tourism record. They made that announcement at Epcot.

And yes, the model of companies spending big bucks to generate good will be sponsoring an attraction are vanishing. Hard to show DIRECT bottom line impact of such spending.

They are waiting until there is a new president.

(it's a joke, not politics.)

I think the current footprint of UoE + WoL is the perfect spot for a major new attraction/pavilion...

I'd rather have four attractions in Future World East than three, even if the third one is huge.

Unfortunately, this is why...

Unfortunately, this is why...

It's not that they don't have enough money, it's just that Disney's wallet is... sticky.
