Click the gallery for a look at the demolition progress on the central spine of EPCOT's Future World.

Work is continuing on stripping the interior of Mouse Gear, with much of the structure now completely visible through from either side.

Demolition is moving further inside the former Electric Umbrella, including the removal of the second level seating.

EPCOT Future World Central Spine demolition - October 5 2020

A few small exterior areas have been removed from Innoventions North West, which was expected to be fully demolished to make way for the Moana gardens. It remains unclear what the revised plans are for this area.

I’m sure they are! They likely turned them all off until they can get them working again together instead of having random ones out. I’d guess they’d want it back up and running by the time Communicore Hall opens, but only time will tell!

I hope part of the testing includes power washing ;)

Did TWDC buy a LED lighting company? The interns in charge of the lighting design in all parks in WDW LOVE to use A LOT of different color lights. As the interns say, "Fountains are so 1982...."

I assume some is already in place for sprinklers within the planters, but whether or not what's there could support a fountain is another issue entirely. Also, I doubt they have to break up ground to fix the floor lights.

Maybe when they break up the ground to fix the broken floor lights they can run some plumbing? ;)

Actually in the video the central planter looked awfully dark and non kinetic... Flashing lights can do something, but the sound of water, the visual is not the same as video walls and flashing color-changing lights.... a central core fountain would have brought something wonderful to the heart of World whatever-its-called....Maybe at some point in the future.....

It does look cool. I just hope with all the color changing and flashing going on it doesn't look to Vegas-like. Like SSE, I think turning the brightness down 25-50% would do wonders.

Amazing. A while ago in this thread people were mentioning not having the fountain anymore loses kinetic energy in the area. Is it just me, or doesn't the lighting package all around with the always changing/moving lights (to the music) add so much kinetic energy to the area? Of course, a fountain with a lighting package in it as well would be very nice, but I don't feel like what we have here now with the lights can't still do the trick. I can't wait for this whole area to be open.

They are testing it. I would expect things like that during testing.

Doesn't it seem like portions of Communicore Hall's lighting are ALREADY not functioning? It really looks like there are some panels not lighting when they are supposed to.

They have no problem with these lights in innoventions yet it's hard for them to make the new one's work..

That's really sad that the center ground lights aren't working. I have to imagine they are working on it? Maybe when everything opens, they will be fixed.
