When will Epcot renovate their entrance?

[FettFan]

"This place is so retro, it might actually be cool if it were on purpose."

Generally speaking....the pastel yellow-on-gray has got to go. The architecture itself is pretty bland, but wouldn't be so bad if they would do something with the color.

Maybe put a few climbing rose bushes or something to hide those bare pillars.


And the blue and silver signs with the "futuristic" font?

Not so futuristic anymore.



Heck, even the toll plaza could use a makeover.

Thank goodness it actually spells out "WELCOME" since you'd never know you were being welcomed to the park otherwise! While one could make the same argument about DHS's minimalist parking entrance, at least they have the retro Hollywood architecture going for it....and the fact that "Disney's Hollywood Studios" is long enough to take up enough space across the entire toll area.

I agree with you on every aspect BUT...I wouldn't changea thing. This places holds such fond memories for me as a child, when my father and I used to come. I love every time I walk through the past's version of the future. These are purely selfish reasons, though. I'd still come every chance I got, if they changed it.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Sorry But I love the Retro82 Look to it. Same thing goes with the late 80's Hollywood Studios front gate..

That's not selfish. That's the strongest emotional attachment anybody has to Disney.
I too want to take my kids and see and do the things in Disney that my father did with me. (That's three things left in EPCOT then, those that haven't been replaced by 'hip and edgy' stuff - the garish nineties look of which by now looks more outdated than the timeless orginal EPCOT Center parts)

 

[BryceM]

I actually really like it.

 

[Killnme]

I wish they would move/extend their bag check area. It can be a real cluster with monorail people arriving, bus people arriving, car people arriving, and don't forget the Brazilian tour groups arriving all with 5 minutes of each other. I think they should at least put a bag check in down near the bus area to cut down on it now.

I've thought that the color scheme is very bland throughout Future World. The building's exteriors of Innoventions just bore me. And the entrance really does need something to make it look better. At the very least add some landscaping. Oh and take down those nets up above, they look tacky and screw up my pictures.

Needs all capital letters...

I agree about the nets.

 

[aladdin2007]

I agree about the nets.

agree all those triangle panels, cables, and poles need to go already as does the cemetary out front.

 

[tonganprince]

I like the entrance retro look. What I hate are those stupid Leave a Legacy monuments.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I actually like the retro futuristic look too, I hope they don't change that.

 

[Bairstow]

I like the classic Futureworld font and but the yellow ceiling is just ugly.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Needs all capital letters...

And the word "CENTER" After it..

 

[luv]

I am a fan of the color yellow and like to see it used.

Otherwise, the whole entrance really could use some updating. I don't think it looks "retro." I think it looks old. And please, God, get rid of the tombstones.

All that wonderful music and everything you see is dull.

Respect the memorial, sonny. They died for your freedom.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I agree about getting rid of the awful tombstones! I realize people paid money for their faces or whatever to be on them but it just look so strange. Like something out of that Space Odyssey movie, which was bad too!

 

[BryceM]

Yes, the "tombstones" are pretty bad. I would just rather see some nice flower beds. But yes, I really don't like the nets in the center of Future World. Blech.

I like the 1970's/1980's/Syd Mead style of original EPCOT, it gave the place it's own identity. I just wish they would've stuck with that look instead slapping up whatever they thought looked cool or "futuristic" at the moment they did something new, like those tombstones and the Mission Space building don't relate visually to everything else around it

Why can't I like something more than once?
