EPCOT's new look signage and blue accents are continuing to be installed at the main entrance and underneath Spaceship Earth.

At Pin Trading and Camera Center, horizontal backlit blue lines have been added above the entrance doors.

The same look is also now in place at Gateway Gifts.

At the main entrance plaza, every tap-style point has a new overhead sign, with clear directional information.

There are specific lanes for Entry, Passholders and Exits.

I like the "straight" blue over the "trying not to be rainbow" stripes. :cool:

Either those are the old rocks from the fountain or they wasted all they time removing them

Considering that one of them is a brick, I think they’re just being used to hold down the white stuff

Glad to see the greenery. With all the concrete it breaks it up. And the Fountain..
Any images of where the LaL replacement is being built? I'd think it would be moved to the bottom of the worklist, but unsure what sort of contract they had with the people who purchased spots.
I was born in 1990, went to WDW for the first time in 1999, and didn't get back there until my wife and I started going regularly in 2015....so, I was never able to experience EPCOT Center.

So, with that said, I don't really have much to work with (except for old photos and videos), but this is giving me the Epcot vibe. I can't/won't comment on the upcoming attractions and what not, but I'm excited about the aesthetic direction and can't wait to get back down there once everything is finished.

So I'm assuming right now they're just setting these tiles to make sure they fit, but what are the loops on top of each? Are those handles to help them position and carry?

At first I was hoping there may be a lighting effect on the tiles themselves, but as long as the pillars are lit at dusk additional effects should not be needed.

Seems like the original smooth cascade of water is not returning. This pattern is a huge step up from the mad river riverbed that was there before.

The crane behind the fountain was used to lift them into place with those loops:

I'm assuming the loops are so the workers can hold and move them in place gently.
Darn. I was hoping for the smooth texture of the original with blue tile on the outside.
