Epcot's 25th

Post by AKLRULZ » Sep Sat 17, 2005 7:58 am

What would you like to see done at Epcot for the 25th anniversary in 2007?

I would love to see a huge overhaul of World Showcase! Add some attractions (not necessarily thrill rides) maybe a new pavillion even. Future World has had a lot of attention lately - time to move to the back of the park!

Thoughts or ideas?

I agree AKLRULZ. Let's move on! I don't know building it is, but there is one building that is really big, and there is nothing in it. I think sometimes they have art shows in it. I'd like to see big artwork or photos of the building of EPCOT, and the various areas. I'd also like to see photos of old rides now missing in this exhibit.

Maybe a big parade with all the countries celeberating the 25th anniversary! I'd also like to Dream Finder return!

I'd also love to see some new countries at World Showcase. I'm really not sure about the space issues, though. I'd love to see them take down the Outpost area and put something more substantial there, if there is space.

It would also be nice to see a replacement/rehaul of the Wonders of Life pavilion...but I'm not holding my breath!

Gimme my classic rides back! Bring back the original Imagination - dump Eric Idle already and bring back Dream Finder! That would be the ultimate thing - if they could bring just that back I'd be happy. Would be even happier if they also brought back Horizons and WoM but can't be greedy. Put one where WoL is/was... But that would be like admitting they were wrong to replace it and we can't have that now can we?

Agreed on WS - maybe add another ride or two. Not thrill rides - unless it was Soarin related - another idea would be to have Soarin over WS, go to highlights of each country.

i agree with the fact that there needs to be more put in to world showcase and that wonders of life needs to either be redone or torn down and something new put there. the only other thing that i think would be interestign would be if they made some video changes to mission space, after you ride enough times you kinda want something else.

There's no doubt that EPCOT has had some really good music over the years. My first visit there was on the return trip from college spring break in '83. My roommate and I were humming the music the rest of the way back to school in Ohio. We really liked "Feel the Flow" (and I still do). Unfortunately, we didn't know the title, or many of the words. I was very pleased when I found it on Subsonic.

I think a nice new circlevision film would be nice to commemorate EPCOT's 25th anniversary.

rickeinstein, that's not a real bad idea. It would be neat to sit through a circle vision movie, maybe showing clips from the building of EPCOT. Walt talking about it, maybe opening day clips. A quick tour of the old Epcot, and then ending with a dramatic song, and various clips of old rides, old events, old parades etc...

Heck, why don't we the disney fans come up with the events and send them to Disney. We might just come up with ideas better than they might come up with! :lol:

I'd love it if they released a special 25th Anniversary CD of Epcot Music! :mrgreen:

I'd LOVE to see them bring back something really special, like the Tapestry of Nations Parade. I just loved that parade, and miss it dearly! :cry:

It would be a trip around my head and you can see all the different types of brain activity. It would essentially be Wonders of Life revamped. :lol:
