My Epcot wish list
Hi guys, Love this Web site!:sohappy:
Obviously if money were no object I could go on forever with what can be done at Epcot, My favorite Park (Even over Disney seas.) I would like to see some of the elements of Disney Seas implimented in Epcot and if Disney does go for a fifth park, come up with something new. My idea is Disney Ancient Wonders. A Tribute to the fanciful and awe inspiring stuctures of the past, starting with the Seven wonders of the World! But back to the point. If they have $300 million to spend this is where I see the money best spent.
1. Update those Monorail stations. Tokyo's Monorails make DW's look sick and Disneyland's look dead. Some escalators and some automatic gates so the Monorail guys don't look so tired of opening them would be a huge improvement.
2. Hate to waste the money but those huge rock structures at the entrance do nothing for the Park. I thought the entrance is supposed to welcome the guests into the future not fight them off with a fortress of rocks. What were they thinking?
3. UoE, Space, & TT are fine but Wonders of Life could use a minor rehab. I'm thinking some waterfalls in the front (water is life after all!)and a refresh in side.
4.The building in between Future World and WS (I think it used to be a resaurant) has that beautiful 80's modern look. Why not make it a Museum of Past Epcot Attractions. The nature of Epcot is to change but a museum could give us die hards a chance to see exhiuibits from the past and give others a place to cool off on the way to WS. I could difinately see some exhibits from the sorely missed Horizons Exhibit. Also agreat place to sell Gallery style Epcot Souvenirs!
5. Mexico is a little dated but still so charming I think it's fine. I can't imageine the Norway pavillion encouraging people to visit the country (that oil rig seen at the end of Maelstrom is my worst nightmare!), but the ride and pavilion are fine. Same with China Germany, France and Britain. Italy is so grand though I think some exhibit celebrating the explorers of the Renaissance might be nice (ala Mediterrean Harbor in Disney Sea). I always seem to get to the back of Italy and think "Oh is that it!". USA seems sacred and is fine in my book. Love the show there.
6. Japan should take out the Museum and put in the Fuji Ride it had planned it would help to bring others to that side of the park. Morocco does need the Sinbad ride or some other boat ride. Doesn't have to be e-ticket, but as it is now, it's too menacing it needs something to liven it up. As far as the Canada goes, I think the raft ride is a marvelous idea.
7. The Land is quaint and fine in my book. Imagination is a Money pit I know, but the Aracade at the end needs something really fanciful. Colorful lights and smells and something better than the convention exhibit feel it has now. The Animation space in DCA would be a great model. More sensory feel is in need. Right Now it just seems loud and chaotic. The new ride is still not very charming. I just want the Scientist to shut up in that ride. Am I the only one who finds that actor annoying?
8. Real Money needs to be spent on Living Seas in order to Bring back this side of the park. It was like a graveyard. I'm thinking an underwater adventure, simulated of course, not like Windstormer in DisneySeas, but more like the 20,000 leagues, but less scary and brighter.
9. Finally I think the Buildings around Innoventions could use a spruce up. The umbrella restauant looks a little run down and the flags and signs could use a little makeover. Could all this be done for $300 mill? I think so.
Sorry for the long post. I just had to get those ideas off my chest. Hope some of you guys agree. with me:wave:
