It’s not something to get hyped for. It’s not a cemetery either. It will be an improvement which is good for the park.Cool. Still just some plants.

:shrug:I think it’s just an indication that Epcot is changing and it’s exciting for those that love the park.

Does anybody think that the new Play Pavilion deserves its own thread?
Why is it that Disney gets criticized for “Generic Character Parks” but not Universal? Simply because they were around before non-character based rides were all the rage? O::shrug:
I *loved* Epcot. The new direction is not a problem for me as it will be better than what was before it, but I'm not sure Epcot fans will be all that thrilled with Generic Character Park #2

Search your feelings. You know the answer.
Epcot and USF are Apples and Oranges.

But hey, we're getting some good rides out of it, so whatever.
Actually my feelings wouldn’t tell me they are too different. I wasn’t alive in the pre-character era at Epcot. My first visit was in ‘98, and I was 6. As far as I have ever known the park, it’s been one of the worst parks in Orlando with nothing all that special about it.Search your feelings. You know the answer.

We hope we're getting some good rides out of it. Only Ratatouille is a known quantity at this point.

I know people loved it, but I could care less about the past. It hasn’t been all that good in decades.

Eh. I’m normally one to jump on the criticism wagon, but making this park appeal to kids makes sense to me. I enjoyed Epcot as a kid but never really loved it. I see it both ways, really. Kids don’t want to feel like they’re on a school trip on their vacation but adults do because there’s some nostalgia there. I’m sure Disney realizes this and are attempting to strike some balance.:shrug:

Epcot is a 24/7 Worlds fair celebrating all the different countries in the world. Easy.I know Retro Epcot died a long time ago, and have accepted it'll never be what it was, but if you're going to evolve the park - it still should have an underlying theme. Although not as directly as it used to be, USF is tied together with movies coming to life. IOA is tied very loosely with literary adventures. If you had to explain Epcot, how would you go about it - and what separates it from MK or DHS?

My BIGGEST problem with Epcot has always been World Showcase, not future world. It desperately needs MORE rides. For decades it’s had 2 mediocre boat rides. Disney is FINALLY doing something about it.
