New bypass walkway now open in Epcot's Future World

Dec 31, 2019 in "EPCOT"

Posted: Tuesday December 31, 2019 1:03pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Epcot has opened a new walkway in Future World to help guests bypass the construction work taking place in the center of the park.

The walkway begins on the western side the main entrance (camera center side), travels behind the restrooms, and exits alongside the Coral Reef restaurant following the monorail beam.

This new path will be the preferred route to get to The Seas, The Land, and Imagination pavilions.

A similar bypass will also be used on the eastern side of the park.

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.

That's pretty sad and disappointing to see. I saw a video fairly recently and they were operational. We go in July, and was looking forward to spending a bit of time there over two weeks for some pics of it all lit up at night

I hope wdwmagic can get a better video, that sites video is constant ads and then goes into a whole different video.
