Work going on at Imagination? Can anyone verify?

[pixargal]

Do you know how long this has been occurring?


No, you're not too much of a purist. These characters are not allowed in FW. Period. It was set up that way for a reason. Someone has forgotten, but that can be fixed.

I have a photo of my son and nephew meeting Mary Poppins in this same location. It was taken Dec. 2013. We thought it was a little strange to have a meet and greet there. The line was really short, I guess no one expected her to be there. She was able to spend a few minutes joking around with the boys, they enjoyed that.

At least train in a suitably themed location.

Or have her off stage destination on the east side and utilise the Utilidors from character spot.

I thought they used to do this sort of thing on the path that leads back to international gateway.

They still do. They also train back by the entrance of world showplace as well.

Thank you for that information. It's become part of the norm then, and someone needs to be reminded this is a no-no. I'm glad your boys had a great interaction with Ms. Poppins and got some good one-on-one time, though!

These locations are fine. Not FutureWorld.

Still no justification to have her in Futureworld.

IMHO.

Maybe I'm just too much of a purist.

No. You're not. It's beyond foolish to have her in FW, let alone EPCOT.

On topic of characters out of place, Mulan two weeks ago was all alone inside the characters meeting spot. She was in the long hall way where you start the line. :Weird:

On topic of rides not working, the vision segment of the ride was not working today. The projector was not showing anything.

On topic of work going on in imagination I was oblivious to anything different :/

We rode this morning and the vision was working, but the smell lab scene didn't have any smell in the middle cars yesterday.

Regardless, it is a poor representation of imagination at EPCOT. It is a poor show. They not only could do better, they HAVE done better. Upgrades and refurbs should never make things suck worse.

I have a picture July 2, 2012 of Alice & my daughter in that same spot.

Thank you.

 

[dgp602]

it's going to be painted a wonderful shade of beige to make it that less imaginative.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

 

[cjkeating]

Thank you.

I saw Tinkerbell in that location in May 2011!

Ugh. Thank you! So this has been going on for a while.

That's been a training location for at least 12 or 13 years now, by no means anything new.

Your first post deserves your first "like". Welcome to the Boards.

Wow. Ok, thank you.

And yet...and yet...there is something strangely magnificent about these pictures....

Like...a very nice restroom with very nice music which never had any sort of line?

That blue part of Imagination almost looks like the new Test Track color/decor.

Kinda odd coincidence. What color did the pavillion use to be painted? I have only been with the current color scheme.
