CommuniCore Hall is now very visible from around EPCOT as the structure rises behind the construction walls.

It’s not a complete failure. The planter is more informative than high school health class.

You can rush perfection. Or in this case, a complete failure. 😉

When they lifted up the plastic panels, they found this underneath:

Do we know why this process is taking so long? It cannot be that complicated to fill these in, unless there’s more to it that we don’t know about?

I noticed that long before GOTG was even open in 2019.

I hate that blue box! It ruins Spaceship Earth from so many angles! I’ve wondered if they were to wrap it in a way like the Disney Music hall if it would help!

I get that this is from a hotel and probably wasn't really taken into account at the time but oof...does that thing stick out

These aren’t really the same thing. Piston Peak will be fully themed in all directions, it’s just that the ride vehicles may be visible in places that some of us do not think they should be visible. Whatever happens will be intentionally onstage even if misguided, whereas with Cosmic Rewind, we’re just supposed to ignore the unignorable. Probably an unpopular opinion, but if I were in charge, I would spend more than is likely advisable mitigating the exteriors of Cosmic Rewind, TRON, Ratatouille, and Island Tower. They do more to detract from my general experience than any single aging attraction or show.

Maybe this is somewhat unrelated, but since we’re talking about Epcot… I visited a friend at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista and she has a great view of the Walt Disney World panorama. It looks fantastic and was intended to - all of the distinctive features of the individual parks and resorts are visible above the trees. And thennnnn there’s Epcot. This is why I don’t have much faith in modern day imagineering. It started with sight lines and it continues with Cars in the frontier.

They should put a phone in his hand. 🤣

I can look around WDW and find two dozen things that needed to be updated much more then EPCOT’s center. Heck, I think four of the Future World pavilions - possibly six - needed an overhaul more then the core did. Electric Umbrella needed an update, the smell in the store needed to be addressed, and the Imagineers needed to come up with something to put in the big empty carpeted areas in Communicore. It’s worth noting the big overhaul totally failed to address that last point. Given the landscaping mess, the removal of the fountain, the lighting debacle, the DJ blaring Fergilicious, the intensely bland store, Ol’ Poopin’ Walt, and the empty “festival space,” - yeah, what’s there now is considerably worse then what it replaced.
