Epcot needs to be EPCOT. Epcot means nothing. There is no reason why EPCOT can't once again be an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It is the first theme park ever done in the style of a World's Fair......there's the experimental and prototype part.....it is a community of CM's, and tourists if you will :lookaroun. It's original goals were on discovering the future and making tomorrow a better place to live in. Even if it didn't go back to the name EPCOT Center, I'd still be happy with just EPCOT.
Need new logos. Make sure the flower/ring logo for Future World is seen more throughout future world, and the compass logo is seen more throughout world showcase. Give new logos to each pavilion and use this on new signage. Landscaping.....future world is in desperate need of new and improved landscaping.
The entrance way.......either needs to see leave a legacy removed entirely or pushed to the sides of the entryway in a different monument form. Repaint many of the pavilions in future world, especially the entrance with more stylish 21st century color schemes. Get rid of the leave a legacy paint scheme on SSE's legs and bring back the palm trees.
Finish SSE's ending with a proper interactive ending that extends all around us on "prisms" that show us going through a dimension of what the future holds in store for all of us.
Redo Innoventions Plaza and Innoventions itself....restyling the buildings and repainting them with more appropriate colors and natural lighting. Continue to bring in changing interactive exhibits. We live in such a TV/Computer world....actually interacting with something is still a draw at world's fairs today considering the majority of civilized society chills out and stares at a screen throughout their day.
Capitalise on the Universe of Energy's theater system and large format movie screens. Bring in an entirely new show about future energy exploration and tie it into a new interactive energy showcase across the way from the UoE. Turn wonders of life into a weather pavilion showcasing part thrill ride part informative displays about the power of nature and future ways of protecting ourselves and our communities.
M:S give the place a better, futuristic flare and not the tacky warehouse setting it looks like inside.
Test Track.....perhaps make the ride even more thrilling and better exhibits about the future of cars and car safety. Get rid of the tacky signs and banners and tent out front, make the area more stylized and sleek.
Imagination.....a new 3D film featuring DreamFinder and Figment. A Journey into Imagination 2.0 with better longer lasting effects and scenes featuring DreamFinder and Figment. An updated interactive Imageworks but featuring a few favorites such as the rainbow corridor among a few others.
The Land: A new film in circle of life, dramatic and moving film to the likes of "Life" and "Earth". Soarin' featuring footage from the landscapes of the world. Living with the Land....something to make it more perky....its a nice gentle ride...but it needs something. (Not stitch wearing a gardener's uniform).
The seas: make the entryway much more stylish that looks like an Australian research center with diagrams and displays about the reef. Have the old circular waiting room look more like an underwater scene rather than the black walls and projection screen on the roof. Have nemo and friends take us on a underwater tour both through the use of sets and tanks...through the reef dropping facts and figures when need be....end in the seabase tank showing life from the oceans of the world (when possible) to the tune of "big blue world". Restore the seabase theme as a 21st century research facility. Bring back the hydrolators at the exit because in the story we went underwater and remained underwater, now we go back to ground level at epcot via the hydrolators.
As for the pathway between world showcase and future world....get rid of the merchandise and DVC carts. same thing for the breezeways in Innoventions. People are not here to by overpriced walmart merchandise nor by big inflatable balls walking through Innoventions.
On the future world side have flags with each pavilion logo on them....on the world showcase side have the flags of each nation that is a part of world showcase. Offer a non Disney character tie in game that would be an upgrade to Kim Possible, but be timeless and create new and unique world showcase characters that kids and families interact with as they work their way around a world showcase spy game.
Have stylish male and female suits for the CM's at each world showcase pavilion. For example, I can see Canadian Pavilion CM in stylish suits with red and white accents, while CM's doing a performance in each respective pavilion wear native dress and garb. A female CM at the american adventure shouldn't have to wear a 1700s looking costume, but the voices of liberty because they are performing period songs...should IMO.
More countries, better quick service and sit down restaurants, more rides. Character meet n greets no problem, but the 3 Caballeros in Mexico? forget it.
An updated IllumiNations and new color changing lights on SSE at night.
The end!
