Feels like this won’t be done until late December?

↩ replying to Mickeynerd17You would think work would pick up like Luminous if Epcot really wants this done this December.

I have a feeling CommuniCore hall and plaza won’t open until some time next year, and all we’re gonna get this December is the main part of world celebration. IMO that would make what they’ve said so far pretty much false advertising at this point

I wasn’t going to bend over a take a photo of the flooring, but I chuckled at the thought of it, so figured why not give everyone passing by someone to make fun of on their way out the park.
While I was down there, rubbed my hand over it and the metal is not smooth at all, almost feels like a rough concrete, so really don’t expect it to become a trip hazard.

↩ replying to Rose&CrownI kept saying that it would be open just in time for the Flower and Garden festival or around said time...

↩ replying to HorizonsfanI seriously hope they are sealed and wont cure to what corten usually does which just looks like pure rust like this bridge in Glasgow, Scotland which is 'cured' corten steel:

It’s already rust colored?
The rust coloration is the main reason you would select Corten for your metal. If you wanted to avoid that look, you’d likely use an aluminum or composite that approximated the desired finish.

↩ replying to HorizonsfanThis. Everywhere we can see it (the grates, the planters that flank Dreamers Point, the alcove behind Dreamers Point, the terrace and central planter dividers, the shade structures in the northwest garden), it is cured. This is the intended color and effect. It seems that several of the elements have a surface texture which, IMO, mitigates the full-on rust look that vast expanses of the material can sometimes take on. I’m most worried about the alcove behind Dreamers Point since it’s difficult to see in the aerials if there’s anything visually interesting going on there or if it’s just a flat sheet.

↩ replying to tparrisAs far as i have heard next late winter/Spring was still the timeline. They have to "re dedicate" the area and doing that around the start of a festival makes the most sense.
