Demolition machinery at Innoventions West
Posted: Tuesday October 1, 2019 11:52am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Heavy machinery is now onsite in Epcot's Future World ahead of the upcoming demolition work.

Two excavators are on site, one outside Club Cool and one near to Starbucks, both inside the walled off construction zone of Innoventions West.

The entire side of Innoventions West will be removed to make way for the Moana water gardens, Character meet and greet areas and the new festival center.

It's about time Disney invests on the best ride on property.

That's pretty sad and disappointing to see. I saw a video fairly recently and they were operational. We go in July, and was looking forward to spending a bit of time there over two weeks for some pics of it all lit up at night

I hope wdwmagic can get a better video, that sites video is constant ads and then goes into a whole different video.

I wonder if LwtL's Christmas decorations, which totally was a huge draw with queues at night hitting an hour, was a sign that if they spruced it up a bit more outside of Christmas, it would help with capacity, since it often only has a 5 minute queue.

I like improved lighting but I feel this needs to be a bit adjusted. Seems overdone but again, pictures and videos aren't going to show what it's really like. Anyways, I'm so happy to see the ride getting regular love and can't wait to see it in person.

Looks like they're going for a consistent vibe in all of their bayous.

Love this sort of stuff. A ride doesn’t need a massive overhaul all at once, iterative improvements through the years culminate to an exceptional experience over time. It reminds me of Disneyland. I honestly wish they would leave more room for improvement in new rides. A lot may never come to fruition, but if you allow for future plussing (not an excuse to cheap out) you can ultimately deliver a better product through the years.
