EPCOT Why no New Updates to EPCOT?

[Bocabear]

Imagination is suffering from vaginosis?

LOL!!! Imagination feels like it is being purposely ignored....maybe until no one can remember what was great about it at one time.....sort of like they did with Tom Sawyer's Island over the years...
The Fountain issue is unrelated to Imagination in particular but EPCOT in general... And has become a symbol of the failed rebirth of EPCOT project... At this point, they should realize that portion (among others) is a dismal failure and just do whatever it takes to fix it...Make it the beautiful, kinetic heart of the area.... instead of an odd planter with completely uninspired plantings and broken lighting effects...The park deserves better....and so do the guests.

I think we can all agree the touchscreen nonsense has overstayed it's welcome and can be removed...I'm fine looking at nothing during the decent...

I agree, this is Disney's Mode of Operation! This is how they orchestrated the mu*der of Muppets 3D.

Its only a matter of time for Imagination. Some day we will be saying RIP Figment...

But where else will I be able to see a haunting, poorly-lit mask of half of my face and a bit of my hairline plastered over a cartoon body on its way to a futuristic home gym?! You can’t just get that experience anywhere.

We may even end up with a decent descent someday.

*Sigh* if only....

They’ve finished wrecking the park.

Or rather the park transformation is complete

The constant snark on this board is tiresome and unoriginal.

So was the Epcot redesign.

Bwaaaahaaaaa.

That’s all folks, see you next time

Feels likely EPCOT has the 2031 slot after Villains

 

[Tha Realest]

We've really only gotten major news for the first half of the 10 years for work that has the $ allocated for, so more can definitely still be coming.

I also believe the clock started on the 10 year plan started Oct 1, 2023, so we’re approaching Year 3 already.

Considering there are few people in the world who have curated and preserved EPCOT history more than the man you quoted, your comment is really odd.

I have been a big proponent of them saving big things to debut for Epcot’s 50th in 2032. It could make up for the sorry state of affairs that was MK’s 50th. I’m still imagining a refurbed SSE and Figment debuting at that time, hopefully at a minimum.

They put covers over the screens on Test Track (barely remember ever looking at those screens anyway)

Yup, and the bulk of the projects for the first 5 years are well underway

Depends on whether you consider Villains “underway.” That seems like it’ll come towards the back 9 of the 10-year plan.

Well, then would be a change as Josh said everything announced would be done within the next 5 years. Certainly could happen (and definitely wouldn't be surprised if it leaked a bit into year 6) but we shall see

Heck, we may get some update on that during the Villains panel in just a few days

Right? I was thinking "does he know who he quoted?"

While I agree do you really think we’ll get that lucky? All hints have been that they’ll be upgraded. Unless they plan on streaming the Jeremy Irons version onto those screens, I think we might be stuck with more cartoon nonsense.

15 years down the line they have a panel at a D23 event with Zach Riddley and I can assure this will be the first thing he will say about the Epcot Reimagining...
