EPCOT Innoventions West demolition - March 15 2021
Posted: Monday March 15, 2021 10:29am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The final section of the former Innoventions West has now been removed at EPCOT'S Future World, bringing to an end the majority of the major demolition in the park.

Guests passing underneath Spaceship Earth are now presented with a very different view.


Although all of the vertical sections have been removed, there is still plenty of work left to do on the ground. 

Crews continue to work on the are to prepare it for the upcoming Moana inspired water gardens.

There is no word yet on an opening timeframe for Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, although best estimates put it somewhere in 2022.

I know, which is why I want to know why they aren't now. lol It's like the designers have never been in a crowded, public place.

You'll have to wait for the book release at D23 and buy it.

Well, at least, here, it's a contrasting color. The problem with the one by Connections and the replacement here is white on white making it less noticeable.

No worries and I recognize only a subset will be bothered by it. This is the kind of stuff we pick apart every day at my firm. Lol. I still think there’s better ways to execute those two items than they did here, but I’m not losing sleep over it.

Is there a reason the lights couldn't have gone along the outside walls instead of literally in the middle of the walkway??

The light is a direct replacement including having a base:

That would work. Also have the base have its own lighting would help. Or, extending the diameter of the base up to eye height. Or, surrounding the pole with a circular table at bar-height for eating or drinking.
