Well at least it’s a large footprint , if the focus is on water and nature it could be a nice addition especially when comparing to what it is now :)

So it is all a plot... if you make the parks horrible for a couple years, then you can do anything and say it is better than it was... Like the Communicore building they just tore down... Let it languish, tear it down and claim it is way better when they could have just added relevant content...

↩ replying to BocabearYeah, just like the plot that Disney purposely let their transportation system rot so that they could charge money for the park-hopping vans.
Except, at the same time, Disney was spending hundreds of millions to upgrade their transportation systems with new buses, dedicated lanes, eradicating stop lights with flyovers, installing bus-tracking monitors at stops, completely realigning and refreshing the arrival experience at all the parks and Disney Springs, refurbishing all the monorails, buying new boats, installing the Skyliner....
What a conspiracy you've uncovered!!
And failing to mention a pandemic going on for nearly two years.

↩ replying to BocabearThe total throughput of Communicore (the original one with the video reservation screens) can be handled by a single modern handset. Unless you work in the communications industry, you probably are not aware of exactly the scale of the facility reduction made possible by the advancement of technology. So instead of a typical telco switch that services a city (5ESS) of 100,000 people taking an entire building, it can now be serviced by equipment taking the space of a standard refrigerator.
The space isn't required... its no longer an impressive mass of Nixie tubes, clattering paper punchers and readers, and massive evaporative cooling towers. It can all fit on a table in the corner...
Shall I quote Shelly's Ozymandias for relevance?

↩ replying to networkproThen repurpose all of that available space for guest use.

↩ replying to PeopleMoverLoverIt's just a glorified space holder. It looks to be on par with the 'leaping fountains' next to Imagination.....with some extra foliage to keep the customers happy who are always clamoring for more shade at EPCOT. :)

What do you think they're doing? Lol

↩ replying to raymusiccityFine with me. The leaping fountains have never looked better ;)

↩ replying to Vinnie MacI’m glad you think area development is an attraction.

is JoW not an attraction?

↩ replying to J4546Well, Disney says it's one. Disney also claims the Cinderella Castle is an attraction, as well as most of the individual animal species at Animal Kingdom. They're pretty liberal with that word.
Obviously we don't really know what exactly it is since there's very little information available, but it doesn't sound like the kind of thing most people would truly consider an attraction (i.e. a ride or show of some sort).

↩ replying to UNCgolfThis is the biggest red flag. This board has really great insiders. With a new attraction at this state of development, we’d normally have a great idea of what the final product will be thanks to them. With this thing, we’re still almost entirely clueless. Which leads me to think either WDW doesn’t really know what they are building or it’s too boring for the insiders to care very much.
J
↩ replying to lazyboy97oI mean, you didn't say "attraction" in your post. You mentioned the space being available "for guest use". Which it will be.

↩ replying to J4546Yes, but it isn’t going to occupy the entire CommuniCore West footprint. Even with the Festival Center, CommuniCore West was still being replaced by a lot of landscaping and walkways.
Nothing beats Disney listing City Hall at Hong Kong Disneyland as an attraction.
:rolleyes:
