The lighting towers will be part of the extensive lighting system that is being installed on CommuniCore Hall. The building will be covered in LED panels, which will come to life with entertainment in the area.

Some more photos of the lights. There’s already a “dead” white spot (most likely incomplete instructions being received from the controller) on one of them…

The ground lights are still completely shut off as of today. @DreamfinderGuy any idea what happened? They lasted 2 days this time…

The new owner is bringing in new tenants. A de-aging clinic opened not too long ago and they are supposedly bringing in an Italian restaurant. However, one of the restaurants that has been there since the last re-do, Sea Salt, announced that they will be closing.

Leu Gardens here in Orlando had a static version of this at their Dazzling Nights presentation (which was very fun for $25 for anyone local!). The whole time I could only think about what a modern version of this could be at Epcot. Modern technology could easily enhance this into something even better. Yet no...

Oh - I didn't think about that... Is it doing any better getting tenants these days? Because it was struggling for awhile.

Since it's the season, just remember, these were removed as the tech was allegedly past its prime. Unlike that new fangled super reliable modern tech.

I finally realized that something in the real world reminds me of the new EPCOT. The Sundial mall in downtown St. Petersburg has a courtyard that had a fountain. This year, they redesigned the courtyard with new seating, new covered area, and fake grass.

Whatever happened to the spectacular seasonal displays that were supposed to be installed in the Mulva Planter? That was the thing that was supposed to make it more dynamic... I thought they would at least have something fantastic like the concept art for the holidays... I would love to create that actual display for them... Actually I would love to design a holiday program for that entire central garden area making it a spectacle for the holidays...

Unfortunately it seems this is the new normal. Bare bones design with no effort or magic. The powers that be seem to have zero clue why people fell in love with the parks to begin with, and are slowly destroying all of the little things that make them magical. I hope it reverses before it's too late.

That's still not a reason to celebrate them half baking the fix. It's a million (billion?) dollar park people are paying over a hundred bucks to get into. They should have all their lights working. I could understand a comment that it's a nice start and good to know they're working on it but "Christmas miracle" and clapping emojis? Come on. They're professionals, not a band of kids in elementary school.
