Did that actually happen? The front of the pyramid looks extremely vertical. If someone could make it to the top without climbing gear, they deserve a prize!

This sounds like a lot of other things WDW has done in recent history. I liked the old version, but it doesn't seem a lot of people like the new one. Should they be making things better?

Looks like it could be done...but without being seen would be impossible.

Screamscape reader caught an interesting event on his cell phone camera the other night at Epcot as a park guest decided he was going to try to climb to the top of the Mexico pavilion. Making the event a little more scary to guests was the fact that as they got near the top they started to yell “I’m gonna jump!â€

I'm a thrill seeker, but now that's over the top or should I say to the top. It's not going up that I'd have a problem with. It's coming down, one miss step and your going to have a very sudden stop..OUCH!!!

It wouldn't be the first time I've seen something happen at EPCOT, that the security was too late to catch someone.

Yeah who knows what time that could have happened at. That could have been after Illuminations when there hardly is anyone still in the park.

I dont think he was kicked out...As far I know, I heard there was no security or cast members in the area.

As a seasonal World Showcase Custodian, I wouldn't know what to say or do but there should have been some cast member in the area with a phone to call Security that could have gotten there within a reasonable time. I'm sure this didnt happen too fast because those are a lot of steps and I'm sure it took awhile for him to come down too (which would even be scarier for me)
