They're probably trying to convince PPG to pay for more sponsored construction walls

This looks like another makeshift fix well suited for this awful area. BRING BACK THE FOUNTAIN OF NATIONS! I welcome having construction walls back up for as long as it takes to bring back the fountain.

But I thought the multiyear reimagining of EPCOT was completed?

They're so haphazardly drilled that I wonder what the timeline for replacement is. This feels like someone said "drill it down so it'll last us 6 weeks and we don't have to close it off before (insert something) happens". It's one of the sloppiest of overnight patch jobs I've ever seen. They're also destroying the product that they just replaced and there's massive chipping/fragments around where the screws have been drilled. And if it was meant to be a long term solution, one would hope they would place white tipped screws uniformly at the end of each piece instead of what we're seeing

Put Horizons stickers on top of the screws. That'll make it brilliant Epcot theming.

Hilarious this is the state of the park, given they guy who was in charge of this at the time was completely obsessed with flooring.

This is embarrassing... Or rather, this should be embarrassing, but I fear those who should truly be accountable for this shield themselves from embarrassment...

The new glue will hold it down. The only thing that would deteriorate it is some heat.

I wonder what the point of all that was…
