What ever happened to the centerpiece on epcots entrance fountain

[vintageepcot]

What possessed Disney to take away the Epcot entrance fountain's clear centerpiece? That centerpiece was a part if the Epcot logo along with the sphere! What did they do with it? If there not going to use it they might as well give it to me. I will put it in my yard and put some plants around it. It would make a great centerpiece in my hangout spot (some call it a garden I prefer oasis) along with my dancing fountain. I might just even make a fountain for it, not as big and complex, but it would look good (jk lol). I would rather they put it back up again.

Also, what about all those granite blocks? Those things are ugly! They should put those pictures up in a wall in the Innoventions breezeway or something (they would last longer too). The pictures are already fading I hear. Are they trying to kill us? What about the main logo? I hear Sylvania is to blame but I don't know for sure. If they are I bet they would be out the second the contract ends.

I know I'm negative but these times are critical; Horizons is missing, Dreamfinder has vanished (poor guy), and Wonders of Life is gone along with all the great memories. The fountain is not cooperating(?) and there is a big ugly stage in front of it which can't come down because it also serves as an Innoventions utility. There are two levels that aren't used blocking much of the fountain skydance.

By the way Epcot, I saw Dreamfinder riding over my house; You should really give him a call and set things straight with him. I think he's a little down in the dumps and I think he misses Figment a bit. You should really try to find that centerpiece and I think your fountain nozzles are a little crooked. Hope it all works out. Don't lose the fountain shows. I am a little worried about them.

Is there someone that could translate that for me because after staring at it for 10 mins I still don't understand what's been said.

It was a clear glass 'sculpture' with the old EPCOT Center logo - it was a beautiful fountain and I miss it

Vintageepcot, PLEASE install some sort of spell check.

Another good thing would be to break up your thoughts into paragraphs, so that people don't just see a block of undecipherable text.

A lot of people skim these threads and if your thoughts aren't readily readable, your posts will just be skipped.

Best I could do. I freely admit that I am no expert at grammar so please excuse any mistakes. Although I never visited EPCOT Center, I think that vintageepcot makes a fair point. I would like to see the fountain as it appeared in the past.

*Please avoid the wall of text vintageepcot, it makes it difficult to understand what you are saying. The proper way to write is to use paragraphs.

I could be mistaken, but wasn't it sold on ebay a few years back?

And vintage epcot, please use paragraphs!

Agreed. I actually looked forward to seeing it and then suddenly, they were gone. Did Disney take it down when the Wand appeared? I can't remember when they took the sculpture down.

It really is too bad.

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Yes, I think Mouse Surplus sold it on eBay around 4-6 years ago.

They really don't have that much interesting stuff anymore, based from their online store.
Plus the prices on some repeat items skyrockets if they sell well.

One good item?

P.S. vintageepcot, do use paragraphs or slow down a tad in typing. I can understand your writing, though...

And now the condensed version: Why did Disney remove the clear centerpiece to the fountain by the entrance of Epcot? Epcot is going downhill. I think that the nozzles in the fountain are crooked. I hope that doesn't result in us losing the fountain shows.

To answer the question and not whine about the poster's style...


The fountain was removed when LaL came about. The lucite clashed with the wonderful look of the tombstones.:lookaroun:lol:

That's a great post !
Thanks.

I do think they need some kind of center piece for the fountain.
Also, the fountain seems to be down for maintenance a lot.

 

[durangojim]

i think that john stamos owns part of the fountain but i could be wrong because im just going by memory. and teh foutan was cool and i wish they would bring it back to epcot becuase that would be awsome but its been gone along time and alot of people miss it


Just trying to speak the OP's language.

 

[Figment632]

Does anyone have pictures of this ceter piece?

 

[EPCOTPluto]

^^ I think John Stamos owns the original Disneyland sign as well. Why is a mystery, when it should be archived. :brick:

^ Here's the closest I can find of it being clear enough...what can that be called?

Not a fountain, sculpture, centerpiece, but something more appropriate...

And found an interesting pic of what some believe are the LaL marble stones, though I don't:

That's a great post !
