EPCOT Innoventions West demolition - March 2 2021
Posted: Tuesday March 2, 2021 1:26pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Here is a latest look at the demolition work underway on the former Innoventions West building at EPCOT.

Most of the structure has now been removed, with some sections now freestanding detached from the main building.

The majority of the work continues to be done overnight, and at the current rate it would seem likely the building will be completely removed within a couple of weeks.

The space is destined to become home to the Moana inspired water gardens - part of the major reworking of EPCOT.

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.

A new palm tree has been planted near a group of much older trees in World Discovery, across from Connections Eatery. There was previously a large circular planter over this spot in the pavement.
