Demolition is well underway on Epcot's Fountain of Nations, with much of the structure now removed.

Demolition crews have been onsite for much of the month preparing the site, which will eventually see the removal of the closed Club Cool, Character Spot and the former Innoventions.

They are correct. The Seas with Nemo & Friends is also now on reduced hours 9 am to 7 pm for the foreseeable feature.

They can’t just go to Home Depot, buy a fountain and drop it in.

Well I guess then they will be just filling in the ground lighting with colored cement and quitting while they are behind.

the lighting was supposed to be the big dynamic kinetic component of the area.... So not only when it was working it was underwhelming, but broken or not working is even worse... They really need to rethink that area... I would even be happy if they built a replica of the Tower of the Four Winds from the World's Fair... it was dynamic, monumental and included a covered upper level terrace....

The fountain is dead. Expect the easiest / cheapest solution.

HauntedPirate2 hours ago

They've done that already (at least that's what I saw two different times in 2024), and things have progressed backwards since whatever they did in December (see above - dead spots, varied colors in the same strip, etc.)

If they have to do that, then they might as well put in a fountain.

Disney Analyst3 hours ago

I honestly think at this point they likely need to wall the area off and fully rip out the pavement to rebuild this. If they even want to. They may just remove the lighting fully and create a pattern in the pavement.. But I assume they are putting off any major work as long as they can.

Or just have them show one color or have the colors change together. I realize that it isn't the same thing exactly but companies sell Christmas trees that change color with greater quality and reliability than this.

HauntedPirate4 hours ago

At this point, do we know if there are more things to try before they end up turning them off and starting over, or are they at the point where it's turn the lights off and leave them off?
