Very embarrasing. Somewhere somebody is yelling that the fountain would have been less maintenance.

If only...there is one coming...

Absolutely not, it would be cheesy, innoventions loop is too good for the Communic Flustor! 😝

A " Future World" If you will..😉

My idea is if they really want world discovery to be the more futuristic side of the park compared to celebration and nature they could just play the innoventions loop there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

100% this. I love the new theme but it is *everywhere*. One of the things that makes Disney for me is the different thematic music and the seamless transitions. Epcot needs more variety in this area.

It would be really cool if they had a lounge overlooking EPCOT's spine that played old music on loop and showcased the park's history and ideas... If only...

They should play the Innoventions loop inside Communicore Hall. Might convince me to go in. I like the new loop but it should not play everywhere.

I do not understand why they change the background music, they have their reasons. How cool would it be for Thursday be "Throwback Thursdays" and they play all the old background music on Thursdays this way they can still have their new background music for reasons and we can have the good old background music on Thursdays. Once word gets around EPCOT may even get a little bump in Thursday attendance :)
