Epcot Future World West Demolition and Construction Walls - December 12 2019
Posted: Thursday December 12, 2019 10:45am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Rapid progress is being made on the demolition of the former Innoventions and Communicore buildings on the west side of Future World.

With walls removed on all sides, guests can now see right through the building, which is now just a skeleton of steel structural supports.

In the central area, the construction walls have been updated with a large piece of concept art showing the new design.

Honestly. Probably a good call on the roof.

I would say No it's not, original Epcot was a stage show performing international performances. There wasn't even a roof then.

I would say yes

Yes. I'm on board with live performances/streetmosphere that fit theme, but I don't really get the Jammitors or how they make any sense in EPCOT.

So, will you sign my petition to fire the Jammitors?

UNCgolf5 hours ago

Kind of, yeah -- but I don't think it's as disruptive there because it's mainly affecting the promenade instead of an area nominally designed for sitting/relaxation.

That doesn't count, its part of original EPCOT

Is the mediocre oldies rock spilling out from the American Gardens Theater for a good chunk of the year also a bad thing?

At this point I feel like corporate are training their cast members to appeal to guests like they are the ones on Wall-E having to constantly be accompanied and consoling telling them that they are a friend and this is a recreational community field park and grab a soda, charge your phone and chill. I don't recall as that being the case years ago. Oh and we got your community college necessities Starbucks you name em!

Music is pretty well understood to be an important part of theming and setting a mood. There's a reason there are so many different loops in the parks. If they took the Dinoland music loop and had it play on Main Street, would that be alright or would it be a terrible idea that ruins the atmosphere of the latter? That's essentially what they've done for the hub and entrance to World Showcase. Except instead of "Boom boom! Shakalakalaka boom!" it's Encanto lyrics.

No. It’s just making the list of mistakes longer.

Wasn't this area by Innoventions West another stage area at one point that musicians performed on? I Recall 2 times they had a choir there and a high-school band play in that area..Unless it was also used during any festivals..
