The concept art of guardians had animatronics. And you can tell that last show scene was supposed to have an animatronic instead they got a big empty room with a projection! It would have been a way better ride! It’s still good but you can see the potential
What gets me is they couldn't afford a few animatronics and still spent $500,000,000 on the ride. Revenge of the Mummy cost $40,000,000, was a highly themed indoor coaster and had animatronics. Disney always seems to get less bang for their buck in my opinion.
Yep, so much missed potential with that ride system! It allows you to truly view show scenes as you move, but there are hardly any real "scenes" aside from projections and a static ball in Cosmic Rewind!
The excuse to this always seemed to be Covid, yet Universal built and opened 2 huge rides (hagrids and velocicoaster) within 3 years, and are building an entirely new theme park at a very fast rate that puts Disney to shame. I love Disney, but they need to get it together
They lie because they’re an evil company. I mean what do you expect from a company that knowingly shot a movie next to a Muslim concentration camp in china? Def a company you should buy into 😂😂😂
6 years!? I can’t believe how time flies. I remember watching the livestreams for D23 and getting excited for these expansions only to see most of it get cancelled. I am still heartbroken over Harmonious getting cancelled though it was such a beautiful show with an amazing score that I still listen to in the car! I even have the spirit jersey for it I’m so glad I did not knowing it was going to be cancelled after 18 months. I also would just love to see spaceship earth get the remodel it so desperately needs. It’s one of my favorite rides in the park (mainly for the Rome burning smell 😂) and it needs help! I loved this video and I really hope that Epcot gets the love it needs in the future. They should have done one project at a time not 4-6 projects at once so they weren’t spread so thin.
It's a shame that a lot of this happened. I just went to Epcot last week, and I still think the best of the park still holds up. It might be my favorite park in the resort actually
That’s awful! The PLAY! Pavilion would’ve been an amazing experience for many families. I just don’t know who or what to blame: The Covid-19 pandemic or the fact that Disney is starting to become greedy and not spend too much money. I just feel terrible.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
10000% not Covid that’s complete bs, universal is literally making a new theme park 😂😂 it’s me Covid. Disney is an evil company, greedy, morally and creatively bankrupt. What do you expect from a company that knowingly filmed a movie near a Muslim concentration camp in china? Def a company you should spend your hard earned money at 😂😂😂😂
Disney isn't cutting back spending because of greed. They're in big trouble financially and need to completely clean house of upper management and the board of directors. If they don't they're going to get bought out and broken up.
In regards to the Ratatouille situation, it should have done soft openings during the summer to spread crowds out a bit. Maybe do a hotel lottery to ride it, to get more guests to stay on-site. It really stinks that the ride sat empty during a busy summer. I also heard Josh D’amaro was the one who had the idea to cancel Play. He supposedly said it would be too expensive to operate as there would be too many cast members needed. They are a multi-billion dollar company, they can afford it. The company is pathetic now. They need something to start construction right now if they want to have a chance in 2025 to compete with Epic Universe. I have a feeling Universal will win the theme park wars for a while.
U inspired me to learn about Disney! I started watching this channel at 6 years and since then I started going to Disneyland and trying to find malfunctions and telling cast members! Thank you so much
I remember when I went to Disney world just a few days before it closed and way later when I heard Mary poppins was shelved I was even more disappointed,the only thing I like is that the mexico pavilion is still the three cabarellos
It's a crazy how much effort and time can go into an attraction, for it then never amount to anything. We are still excited to see EPCOT's full transformation once everything is complete!
I’m so sad about the play pavilion. I have been going to Epcot for three years and I have never seen it without the walls. Can’t wait for the construction to be done!
Great video as always!! A reimagined Spaceship Earth should’ve been priority number one. It’s gone embarrassingly long without an update. The previous update was a GIANT step back and now Spaceship Earth does feel like the Time Machine ride from the Idiocracy movie. Coming in second should have been a reimagined Imagination. That attraction doesn’t even attract a line. That side of future world really doesn’t attract any guests, save for Soarin’. Priority number last should’ve been an over-priced restaurant and a disaster of a nighttime show. But here they were. What do I know? They’ve gotten money out of me twice in 2022. The blame can be spread all around, but in the end, the buck stops at the top. Just like Chapek’s hairline, the transformation came up short.
I was so sad that the Mary Poppins ride in the UK pavilion was canceled! I love that movie and similarly to Ratatouille, the World Showcase needs more rides to spread crowds out and possibly convince people to go right first instead of left (I’m a left girl myself but with rope dropping I don’t care about going right to get attractions done🤷🏼♀️). There’s so many possibilities for Epcot with both expansions and updates, lots of which can help world showcase be even more of a family event, instead of a ride every 3 or so countries and the parents only wanting to eat and drink around the world. Rapunzel/Snow White in Germany, Turning Red in Canada, Luca in Italy, etc. While I love the focus on the front of the park, it might be nice to get even more projects like Remy in other respective countries to add more rides or even countries (please bring Greece 🙏🏼) because overall Epcot can be seen more as an adult park with eating/drinking around the world, but adding more attractions and rides in World Showcase can make Epcot a balanced park for both kids and adults Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😆
honestly, i’m glad the spaceship earth overhaul was cancelled. the plan for its shift from the history of communication to storytelling seemed really unnecessary and not very promising.
CEO - at fault because he approved those ridiculous budget spendings CFO - at fault because bad management of financial expectations/reality balance Parks VP - at fault for dogshit and flimsy strategy that changed too quickly, almost like chasing short-term goals/profits Not the first time Disney overprmised something about parks and then cancelled or crippled it :D It just goes on and on
We need more rides and more pavilions for World Showcase along with more rides for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We definitely need a transformation of Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Like maybe…bring back Snow White’s Scary Adventures but in the Germany pavilion, and bring Pinocchio’s Daring Journey to Italy, Alice In Wonderland and Mr Toad’s Wild Ride in UK (if space permits), and others like Luisa’s Donkey Mayhem (an Encanto ride, but like Alien’s Swirling Saucers) in Morocco (I saw some sort of Encanto garden at Morocco once), and Baymax’s Floating Lanterns at Japan (similar to Inside Out: Emotional Whirlwind).
@@PokemanmonI disagree on Animal Kingdom. They did build Pandora for the Avatar franchise. I love that part of the park and also Expedition Everest has been one of my most favorite coasters in the parks for a long time. The other thing that I love is all the animals in that park. The only thing I’m disappointed about is Primeevil Whirl being gone for 6 years and they haven’t done anything to replace it.
@@Pokemanmon We love Animal Kingdom because of the animals, that's why we go. We go to the other parks for the rides and the magic, but Animal Kingdom has its own Disney magic through the natural beauty. When we go to Animal Kingdom, the only ride we usually do is the safari because we are there for the animals. Animal Kingdom is not supposed to be a thrill-rides-based theme park. Disney is also putting in a lot of money towards animal conservation and species survival, which is incredibly interesting and important. I can't rate any park better than another because they are all different. Also, it seems like Animal Kingdom's purpose gets lost by people who go to WDW and think that they should be getting the same kinds of rides and attractions at Animal Kingdom that they do at Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios. Replacing Animal Kingdom would be a giant waste and a huge shame, because it is amazing!
I hope tpm never stops posting but when he eventually does hopefully someone will take over and make similar if not the same vids (although ofc it’ll never be the same.) his vids bring me so much joy and it’s very fun to watch ❤ I’ve been watching for years
I'm biased, but it would be so cool if Epcot had an Indian pavilion. There are many buildings and places from India that represent Indian culture which they could add to the pavilion. They could even add rides from the jungle book in that pavilion.
It would but India has to pay for it I believe each country “invested” in each or something like that. The last rumored one was Brazil but that fell through.
The country sponsorship model is defunct just like the corporate sponsorships in Future World. No one is willing to pay for Disney’s theme park attractions that only benefit Disney.
I feel that'd be amazing but Disney would have to be careful especially with there cultural issue with hurtful stereotypes in the past and present (seen with promos for Hispanic culture)
You rock!!! I moved here to Windermere 9/2019 and I was excited to see all the new things! But at the end of the day I live 5 minutes from Disney and I love it and I love your channel!!
That show building behind Japan is indeed being used, just not for guest purposes. It’s the storage area for extra furnishings, trash cans, toilets/sinks, lamp posts, patio umbrellas, etc. for all of Epcot.
Our lord and savior, Figment, definitely needs a lot of help. I want to see that return as best as possible to what it originally was. I want that whimsy and creativity push back and less focus on the science. Also, make a new attraction for Coco. Don't you dare touch my boys (the 3 caballeros) lol. Those animatronics are historical treasures.
You have got to be kidding me. Doesn't Disney have someone who proofreads their slides before they are published in a worldwide event. At 16:13, the word "relevant" is misspelled as "relivant." They are in serious trouble if they don't know how to spell. What a shame!
I have mixed feelings about the Play Pavilion. I didn’t think it would sit well, but then it was probably aimed for kids, which I don’t have. I like the Ratatouille and Guardians of the Galaxy rides, which are better than Mission Space. I enjoy eating at the Connections Cafe because it has some decent food that’s not too expensive and it’s in the front of the park. I hope Spaceship Earth and Journey into Imagination get upgraded soon.
My family and I are going to Disney in a week and your videos have helped plan so much! Thank you for being here. You also make my family laugh during dark times. ❤❤
@@sealy1 I mean when I looked on UA-cam and browsed on my 2009 UA-cam account in like 2010 I remember seeing this big announcement of Fantasyland. And it could of been worse with too many meet & greets
Also Spaceship Earth and Journey into Imagination need an upgrade. Last time I went there one of the Figment animations was broken. Also pls bring back the Dreamfinder!
EPCOT used to be my favorite WDW park until this whole mess occurred, now the torch has been passed onto the Magic Kingdom. It’s very sad to see such a unique park decline.
I completely agree. I was there in 2015 (so quite some time before the big transformation started), and so much I loved about the park back then is gone. I really miss Electric Umbrella, the Innoventions music, the plaza, Mouse Gear and of course the fountains :( Magic Kingdom is now my favourite as well.
@@gissnericI know right. I just went to Disney World and was very disappointed with Tron. The coaster was great but there was no theming to the movies, was supposed to be number two but ended up having none. The first time Disney just made a ride and not an attraction.
Too bad videos like this will never be viewed by the higher ups at disney :( ... as this was great and informative ... or for me awesome and a look back at it all so far.
Such a bummer because Epcot was going to be our new favorite park. You'd think Disney would want to compete for attention with Epic Universe, but Disney is taking forever to finish anything. 😵💫😵💫
do like Universal. Instead of saying "all of this is coming!" just start building it and not tell anyone what you're up to. "what's this new rollercoaster going in?" "what coaster? it's just a new churro stand..." 🤣
I confess; EPCOT is my least favorite Disney park (scandalous I know), do hearing news of the overhaul made me beyond excited because it looked to be that shot in the arm the park needed and it looked so vibrant and alive, I wanted to experience it. I too am saddened that the many circumstances lead to EPCOT just having half it's transformation be halted and so much money and potential wasted. To answer the question at the end I want to say "ALL THE ABOVE"; Disney needs to stop over promising only to under deliver (hence why I am of the few that thinks that Disney's blue sky ideas for DAK and MK were correctly shown), commit to their ideas before announcing them, push through and more. Reminder that Universal was also impacted by COVID and they delayed the opening of Epic Universe by two years or so. AND YET...they managed to pick up the pace so fast they think they may open sooner! Also in that time they opened Super Nintendo World in Japan and then in California, and in Orlando they finished Velocicoaster when Disney couldn't even get TRON halfway finished. Really, Disney needs to commit and push on through with whatever they announce.
I’m of the opinion of no Disney should have a plan when it comes announce people are gonna expect it to happen and it honestly should be that way when somethings an ounce I expected to happen if it’s not set in stone Or has a high chance of happening it should not be announced.
@@crazyfire9470 It can when you’re only a little kid. I wasn’t interested in history back then, not only that but it was difficult for me to understand. The ride itself was scary. That is how it can be both when you are only a kid. I never rode it as an adult. I barely even remember Maelstrom since it was replaced when I was only 9 or 10. At the time it was my most favorite new Disney movie and now franchise that goes with the princesses. It remains so still to this day even though I’m now 18, especially after the release of Frozen 2.
I am not a big fan of too much IP in Epcot. there needs to be a balance. Such a unique park but sadly it appears that disney has no clue what to do with it
Personally i actually like how the world showcase doesn't have many IP'S it feels more authentic and educational if there was a luca ride in the italy pavilion or a mulan ride in the china pavilion i feel like more people would be there yes but people would only be there to ride the ride instead of learning about the food people and culture its one of those scenarios where i think having no properties in your face 24/7 is a good thing but thats just me
Ooh!! And I was just thinking this morning "I wish TPMVids would post a video so I can listen to it while doing paperwork." Ask and you shall receive!! Lol
Sure, it's sad that Epcot isn't getting all the attractions but it's Paris that needs all the love it can get. No new rollercoaster in the park for about 20 (!) years? The rides need to be remodelled with new animatronics and the latest technology. You've been there. Weren't you a bit disappointed? I love this Park, but it just don't need only new theming and attractions like Frozen, but also massive refurbishments
Can't really speak much of Epcot itself, I haven't been since '98. However, I'm a fairly frequent visitor of Disneyland in CA and I have to agree with a lot of the notion you were stating at the end of the video: I'd MUCH rather Disney Parks across the board spend a 3 years (give or take) giving existing attractions and locations within the park the much-needed love and maintenance they need. Fix what's there first, make the whole parks "like new" again, instead of giving me a bright shiny new ride but with the rest of the park at like 60% what it could be. I want no new rides for a few years, to instead have the whole of the parks brought up to what it should be.
I don’t see how throwing in a bunch of IP into Epcot “stays true to the original ideals”. Epcot was always about Edutainment. Learning about the world around you while still having fun. Epcot is a mere shadow of its former self.
i have theroy about the transformation so I think that it had lot of malfunctions I MEAN A LOT so they try everything testing fixing testing fixing back and forth the interaction might not been made yet as it might had malfunction too so maybe in future they might use real characters instead of virtuality and in person so they just might do in person which means you will greet characters in real life and not on screen or real life so yeah that all I got from my theory but hey it just a theory A DISNEY THEROY
Disney has a very, *very* bad habit of announcing plans *_FAR_* too long in advance, possibly when even they don't know what they want to do. This creates an expectation for something that may never even come. They usually announce stuff super long in advance, which leaves the thing announced subject to being altered, retooled, or cancelled entirely. Comparing this to Universal, they only really announce things when they're absolutely sure they're ready to. Note that all info we have on Epic Universe has come from official records that they had to file in order to build the park - they've barely said anything about it on official channels. "Officially," the only thing we really know is the concept art, the fact that the park is being built, and the fact that they plan to use IPs. That's all they've said on official channels. With Hagrid and Velocicoaster, they didn't even say anything about them until they were practically about to open. This gives Universal far more control over the expectations set for their products - something Disney doesn't really manage as well. Remember the Mary Poppins ride everyone was excited for? Turns out, that was just going to be an indoor Teacups ride. I imagine Disney has their reasons for announcing things as early as they do - probably something to do with trying to maintain their stocks or something. But announcing things long before it's actually certain that they'll open doesn't sound very good for the stocks, should they go the way of the Play Pavillion.
the updates Epcot needs: Imagination Pavillion- Splurge on a decent, Figment themed dark ride. Silver medal: Inside Out themed tour of imagination with Bing Bong. UK: An actual Mary Poppins dark ride through the movie- NOT the glorified tea cup ride they were going to do. Canada: Not sure, but a show themed to Turning Red with 4*Town and Mai as a Red Panda on stage would make sense. France: Is fine now that Ratatouille is there. Though an updated theater show would be cool (Not the Beauty and the Beast Sing a long) Morocco: Move the Magic Carpet ride in Magic Kingdom to here. Adds a family attraction to Epcot and opens up some space in Adventureland so it's not as crowded. Plus, there's 3 identical rides in Magic Kingdom. Bringing it down to 2 hurts nothing. Japan: Actually build that rumored "Godzilla" themed coaster, but instead of Godzilla, have it be a coaster where you assist the Big Hero 6 team is fighting a giant, sleepwalking Fredzilla (Lab experiment gone wrong). Coaster cars can look like Baymax armor. American Adventure: Update the show, or (I prefer) make it a Muppet themed humorous recap of American history. Make it feel less "Propaganda-ish". Italy: Clone Pinocchio's Daring Journey from Disneyland. Germany: Tangled themed "Snuggly Duckling" restaurant with live show featuring the bandits and maybe Rapunzel and Flynn. China: Reflections of China is fine, but a Mushu or Sisu themed family coaster in there somewhere wuld be nice. Norway: Fine as is. Mexico: I don't get why the ride isn't rethemed to Coco yet. It's a no brainer. Wonders of Life: If you're not going to do the Play Pavilion as initially planned, I propose doing it on a smaller scale themed to Mickey Mouse clubhouse, with a model of the clubhouse inside. Maybe with virtual interactive aspects with the characters inside. And reuse the Cranium Command concept, but with Professor Von Drake giving the audience control of Donald's brain, enraging the duck as we watch him (In the style of the 2013 Mickey Shorts) interact through the eye screens. Thank you for your time.
5:12 I would’ve loved to see the Edna Mode Animation Academy attraction. I actually remember going to the original Animation Academy at the California Parks as a kid.
Epcot was my absolute favorite as a kid...mainly due to the innoventions buildings and the interactive exhibits in all the buildings! Its so sad to me that that stuff is all but gone. But dont get me wrong, i still absolutely adore epcot...just mainly because of the world showcase now. Also, Harmonius was absolutely incredible and i am soooo bummed they took it away.
I feel like AK, EPC, & DHS NEEDS some franchises that can give them relevance. However, for EPC’s case… I think it was a bit of everyone’s fault; in my defense for them (Disney), though Covid did struck them hard and gave them some downfall, however, Universal Orlando wasn’t defeated by it. Although, it was all planned for the 50th but I do think some of those plans can come back, especially for the fact that I am hearing the same opinions of some of their attractions being “Dated“. So what I’m trying to say is I feel like some of the attractions can get a second life when it’s best, but it’s clear they are mostly relying on Moana to save Epcot, mainly before they reimagine the older attractions.
I am glad i got to see epcot before all the construction happened. Last time i went was in 2015. I really did enjoy the parks but now with everything going on i haven't been able to feel the same. Nothing but ips getting slapped left and right in the parks. Something needs to change. Hopefully i can see Magic Kingdom before that gets changed for the worse. I have heard too many rumors about my second favorite land being changed. Nice video though i always enjoy watching your animatronic fails and park fails.
I find disneys decisions to be incredibly frustrating. They have more “storage space” than any other park in the world. A ride in Germany cancelled due to budget, now is storage. A play pavilion, cancelled & used for storage. Guardians was announced to have 12 animatronics, all cancelled & replaced with screens. Mary Poppins attraction, cancelled. The next year at D23 they announced a bunch of new stuff, never mentioning the cancelled projects again, everyone is excited over the new announcements, basically distracting from the cancelled projects. They get billions in revenue each year but can’t spend money to make the parks better.
Excellent video! Maybe if Iger hadn’t spent $70 Billion dollars buying Fox right before the pandemic Disney would have had the money to finish more projects.
Some ride ideas for Epcot World Showcase Pavillion: Italy-Luca dark ride similar to Remy's Ratatouille Japan-Big Hero 6 dark ride similar to Rise of Resistance Germany-Pinocchico dark ride similar in style to one at Disneyland China-Zootopia dark ride similar to one in Japan's Disney Morocco-Atlantis: The Lost Empire dark ride similar to Remy's.
I also think that Spaceship Earth needs to reopen because many people want to take pictures in front of this landmark, and not in front of a construction nightmare ,
Epcot does need a lot of TLC. I most of the new additions I saw both this year and last year. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is my favorite ride at Disney World, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is really cure and fun, and Space 220, while hit or miss with the food, is a great experience. I am one of those that wasn't a fan of Harmonious last year and was happy to see Epcot Forever this year. I did get to see Reflections of China last year and oh man does it need to be updated badly. It was nice to get in out of the heat, but that show did not age well at all.
perhaps though the 'death' of the play pavilion may have been a good thing, assuming it was leaning too heavily on Ralf Breaks The Internet aesthetic (I never even watched the film). the internet and trends move too fast. what was cool today is dinosaur in a year. If done wrong, the play pavilion might have ended up like a slightly updated disney quest, just with things like LOL and emoji faces pasted everywhere. and we know how much of a ghost town disney quest became
It’s pretty sad that it’s taking this long to finish Epcot and like you said who’s to blame I don’t know that’s a tough question I don’t even tougher answer
I would love to see a gusteaus restaurant and a lot of more meeting greets, like Mary poppins, maybe have a Christopher robin with Winnie the Pooh, and the play house for new greets of characters. Maybe some new rides.
I think that it was Bob Capek and Covid-19. I have a few reasons why I think it was Bob Capek. 1. He was a bad C.E.O. Because one time I was waiting in line for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and he closed the ride for no reason at all when there was nothing wrong with the ride. 2. All he cared about was money. Bob Iger didn’t care about money. Bob Iger only cared about families having a great time at Disney. Bob Capek cared about money because he spent some money to create the Lighting Lane System and spending the money that Disney earned to continue the construction process. I think that it was also Covid-19 because it shut down Disney. But even though Covid shut down Disney, Disney opened a few months later and continued construction. I think that they could’ve waited a few months to continue construction because they haven’t earned any money for a few months. If I was C.E.O, I would wait about 6-7 months to let people come back into the parks and let Walt Disneys Engineering to continue construction and I would delay the 50th anniversary.
My idea of “More Disney” - highly themed, immersive experiences with excellent customer service. Disney’s idea of “More Disney”: Let’s stick a drawing of an animated character on it.
The concept art of guardians had animatronics. And you can tell that last show scene was supposed to have an animatronic instead they got a big empty room with a projection! It would have been a way better ride! It’s still good but you can see the potential
I agree! The pre show should have at least had one figure!
They should’ve had rocket and groot together
Yes it could have been way better
What gets me is they couldn't afford a few animatronics and still spent $500,000,000 on the ride. Revenge of the Mummy cost $40,000,000, was a highly themed indoor coaster and had animatronics. Disney always seems to get less bang for their buck in my opinion.
Yep, so much missed potential with that ride system! It allows you to truly view show scenes as you move, but there are hardly any real "scenes" aside from projections and a static ball in Cosmic Rewind!

honestly, i’m glad the spaceship earth overhaul was cancelled. the plan for its shift from the history of communication to storytelling seemed really unnecessary and not very promising.
Hi TPMVids hope you are having a fantasmic day!
Love the pun! I'm sure he will too!
1/2 nightmare 1/2 fun
CEO - at fault because he approved those ridiculous budget spendings
CFO - at fault because bad management of financial expectations/reality balance
Parks VP - at fault for dogshit and flimsy strategy that changed too quickly, almost like chasing short-term goals/profits
Not the first time Disney overprmised something about parks and then cancelled or crippled it :D
It just goes on and on
We need more rides and more pavilions for World Showcase along with more rides for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We definitely need a transformation of Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Like maybe…bring back Snow White’s Scary Adventures but in the Germany pavilion, and bring Pinocchio’s Daring Journey to Italy, Alice In Wonderland and Mr Toad’s Wild Ride in UK (if space permits), and others like Luisa’s Donkey Mayhem (an Encanto ride, but like Alien’s Swirling Saucers) in Morocco (I saw some sort of Encanto garden at Morocco once), and Baymax’s Floating Lanterns at Japan (similar to Inside Out: Emotional Whirlwind).
Yes Animal Kingdom needs to be next Cus Dinoland is just a waste of usable space but knowing them that’ll be done in like 2035 😩
@@PokemanmonI disagree on Animal Kingdom. They did build Pandora for the Avatar franchise. I love that part of the park and also Expedition Everest has been one of my most favorite coasters in the parks for a long time. The other thing that I love is all the animals in that park. The only thing I’m disappointed about is Primeevil Whirl being gone for 6 years and they haven’t done anything to replace it.
@@Pokemanmon We love Animal Kingdom because of the animals, that's why we go. We go to the other parks for the rides and the magic, but Animal Kingdom has its own Disney magic through the natural beauty. When we go to Animal Kingdom, the only ride we usually do is the safari because we are there for the animals. Animal Kingdom is not supposed to be a thrill-rides-based theme park. Disney is also putting in a lot of money towards animal conservation and species survival, which is incredibly interesting and important. I can't rate any park better than another because they are all different. Also, it seems like Animal Kingdom's purpose gets lost by people who go to WDW and think that they should be getting the same kinds of rides and attractions at Animal Kingdom that they do at Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios. Replacing Animal Kingdom would be a giant waste and a huge shame, because it is amazing!
@@ac75555 Right. Maybe a more family-friendly Disney’s Animal Kingdom with family-friendly rides and lots of animals.
I hope tpm never stops posting but when he eventually does hopefully someone will take over and make similar if not the same vids (although ofc it’ll never be the same.) his vids bring me so much joy and it’s very fun to watch ❤ I’ve been watching for years
I have always wanted tpm vids to say something to my comment so if you see this then please say something! You are the best tpm vids!😁
Disney really needs to get it together because Universal has added two amazing coasters and working on a 3rd park.
I'm biased, but it would be so cool if Epcot had an Indian pavilion. There are many buildings and places from India that represent Indian culture which they could add to the pavilion. They could even add rides from the jungle book in that pavilion.
It would but India has to pay for it I believe each country “invested” in each or something like that. The last rumored one was Brazil but that fell through.
The country sponsorship model is defunct just like the corporate sponsorships in Future World. No one is willing to pay for Disney’s theme park attractions that only benefit Disney.
Yes the Disney owns all the pavilions and aren’t even sponsored by anyone. They can make any countries pavilions by their choice i guess
I feel that'd be amazing but Disney would have to be careful especially with there cultural issue with hurtful stereotypes in the past and present (seen with promos for Hispanic culture)
You rock!!! I moved here to Windermere 9/2019 and I was excited to see all the new things! But at the end of the day I live 5 minutes from Disney and I love it and I love your channel!!
That show building behind Japan is indeed being used, just not for guest purposes. It’s the storage area for extra furnishings, trash cans, toilets/sinks, lamp posts, patio umbrellas, etc. for all of Epcot.
tbh as long as mitsukoshi stays im good, that store is the reason epcot is my favorite park
Our lord and savior, Figment, definitely needs a lot of help. I want to see that return as best as possible to what it originally was. I want that whimsy and creativity push back and less focus on the science. Also, make a new attraction for Coco. Don't you dare touch my boys (the 3 caballeros) lol. Those animatronics are historical treasures.
You have got to be kidding me. Doesn't Disney have someone who proofreads their slides before they are published in a worldwide event. At 16:13, the word "relevant" is misspelled as "relivant." They are in serious trouble if they don't know how to spell. What a shame!
I agree!!
That was TPM’s misspelling!
Did most of the imagineers move over to Universal Park? I'm astounded at how quickly they are building Epic Universe, and it looks really interesting.
I have mixed feelings about the Play Pavilion. I didn’t think it would sit well, but then it was probably aimed for kids, which I don’t have. I like the Ratatouille and Guardians of the Galaxy rides, which are better than Mission Space. I enjoy eating at the Connections Cafe because it has some decent food that’s not too expensive and it’s in the front of the park. I hope Spaceship Earth and Journey into Imagination get upgraded soon.
My family and I are going to Disney in a week and your videos have helped plan so much! Thank you for being here. You also make my family laugh during dark times. ❤❤
“EPCOT transformation crisis”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
It could of been much worse
@@disneyparksrfun true
@@sealy1 I mean when I looked on UA-cam and browsed on my 2009 UA-cam account in like 2010 I remember seeing this big announcement of Fantasyland. And it could of been worse with too many meet & greets
Also Spaceship Earth and Journey into Imagination need an upgrade. Last time I went there one of the Figment animations was broken. Also pls bring back the Dreamfinder!
EPCOT used to be my favorite WDW park until this whole mess occurred, now the torch has been passed onto the Magic Kingdom. It’s very sad to see such a unique park decline.
Hopefully there’s a bright future in sight but it’s gonna take some time now
I'd still choose Epcot cause at least they got rid of the barges in the lagoon and Cosmic Rewind is awesome. Better than Tron
I completely agree. I was there in 2015 (so quite some time before the big transformation started), and so much I loved about the park back then is gone. I really miss Electric Umbrella, the Innoventions music, the plaza, Mouse Gear and of course the fountains :( Magic Kingdom is now my favourite as well.
@@gissnericI know right. I just went to Disney World and was very disappointed with Tron. The coaster was great but there was no theming to the movies, was supposed to be number two but ended up having none. The first time Disney just made a ride and not an attraction.
I love these videos. Thank you I love when you post!
Too bad videos like this will never be viewed by the higher ups at disney :( ... as this was great and informative ... or for me awesome and a look back at it all so far.
The only thing I miss is walking in the middle of the park 😂
Such a bummer because Epcot was going to be our new favorite park. You'd think Disney would want to compete for attention with Epic Universe, but Disney is taking forever to finish anything. 😵💫😵💫
Yeah, they should have never made these promises if they are just gonna cancel them. So sad. ;-;
do like Universal. Instead of saying "all of this is coming!" just start building it and not tell anyone what you're up to. "what's this new rollercoaster going in?" "what coaster? it's just a new churro stand..." 🤣
I confess; EPCOT is my least favorite Disney park (scandalous I know), do hearing news of the overhaul made me beyond excited because it looked to be that shot in the arm the park needed and it looked so vibrant and alive, I wanted to experience it. I too am saddened that the many circumstances lead to EPCOT just having half it's transformation be halted and so much money and potential wasted. To answer the question at the end I want to say "ALL THE ABOVE"; Disney needs to stop over promising only to under deliver (hence why I am of the few that thinks that Disney's blue sky ideas for DAK and MK were correctly shown), commit to their ideas before announcing them, push through and more. Reminder that Universal was also impacted by COVID and they delayed the opening of Epic Universe by two years or so. AND YET...they managed to pick up the pace so fast they think they may open sooner! Also in that time they opened Super Nintendo World in Japan and then in California, and in Orlando they finished Velocicoaster when Disney couldn't even get TRON halfway finished.
Really, Disney needs to commit and push on through with whatever they announce.
I’m of the opinion of no Disney should have a plan when it comes announce people are gonna expect it to happen and it honestly should be that way when somethings an ounce I expected to happen if it’s not set in stone
Or has a high chance of happening it should not be announced.
Hopefully not too much fails!
Disney is really fumbling lately so may expect more.
@@Shocknfunk why be pessimistic though. Don't you want them to succeed and not expect to fail. I have seen some good things even with the failures
EPCOT's been having a "transformation crisis" since they replaced Maelstrom with Frozen.
Disagreed Frozen is way better than Maelstrom ever was. That ride was way to scary and boring.
How can a ride be scary and boring at the same time?
@@crazyfire9470 It can when you’re only a little kid. I wasn’t interested in history back then, not only that but it was difficult for me to understand. The ride itself was scary. That is how it can be both when you are only a kid. I never rode it as an adult. I barely even remember Maelstrom since it was replaced when I was only 9 or 10. At the time it was my most favorite new Disney movie and now franchise that goes with the princesses. It remains so still to this day even though I’m now 18, especially after the release of Frozen 2.
Hmm…
i love his content
Thank you for that closing statement. I agree, wholeheartedly! Love your content! ❤️
I am not a big fan of too much IP in Epcot. there needs to be a balance. Such a unique park but sadly it appears that disney has no clue what to do with it
Personally i actually like how the world showcase doesn't have many IP'S it feels more authentic and educational if there was a luca ride in the italy pavilion or a mulan ride in the china pavilion i feel like more people would be there yes but people would only be there to ride the ride instead of learning about the food people and culture its one of those scenarios where i think having no properties in your face 24/7 is a good thing but thats just me
Ooh!! And I was just thinking this morning "I wish TPMVids would post a video so I can listen to it while doing paperwork."
Ask and you shall receive!! Lol
There you go! Hope you enjoy!
@@TPMvidsAlways do!
You know it’s gonna be a good day when TPM vids uploads!!!!
It’s always a great day when TPM Vids uploads!
This is painful to watch. Knowing we lost so much Epcot progress that we will likely never get.
I’m kind of glad the play pavilion did see the light of day. I just felt it never really fit it with the theme of Epcot.
Sure, it's sad that Epcot isn't getting all the attractions but it's Paris that needs all the love it can get. No new rollercoaster in the park for about 20 (!) years? The rides need to be remodelled with new animatronics and the latest technology. You've been there. Weren't you a bit disappointed? I love this Park, but it just don't need only new theming and attractions like Frozen, but also massive refurbishments
Can't really speak much of Epcot itself, I haven't been since '98. However, I'm a fairly frequent visitor of Disneyland in CA and I have to agree with a lot of the notion you were stating at the end of the video: I'd MUCH rather Disney Parks across the board spend a 3 years (give or take) giving existing attractions and locations within the park the much-needed love and maintenance they need. Fix what's there first, make the whole parks "like new" again, instead of giving me a bright shiny new ride but with the rest of the park at like 60% what it could be. I want no new rides for a few years, to instead have the whole of the parks brought up to what it should be.
I just want the Mary Poppins experience. I'd move to EPCOT if that was actually going in.
I REALLY hope they revive the Mary Poppins attraction. World showcase needs it
By the way love the channel I get most Disney and universal information from you guys so thank you
I don’t see how throwing in a bunch of IP into Epcot “stays true to the original ideals”. Epcot was always about Edutainment. Learning about the world around you while still having fun. Epcot is a mere shadow of its former self.
Epcot’s transformation seems to be very exciting! Can’t wait to see it at my next visit!
There are definitely good parts to it, just it could have been that much greater. It had so much potential
Honestly, for my money, the most concise explanation of everything going on with Epcot in the past few years. 👍
i have theroy about the transformation so I think that it had lot of malfunctions I MEAN A LOT so they try everything testing fixing testing fixing back and forth the interaction might not been made yet as it might had malfunction too so maybe in future they might use real characters instead of virtuality and in person so they just might do in person which means you will greet characters in real life and not on screen or real life so yeah that all I got from my theory but hey it just a theory A DISNEY THEROY
The Play pavillion would of brought Epcot back into attention. So sad that it didn't happen.
Disney has a very, *very* bad habit of announcing plans *_FAR_* too long in advance, possibly when even they don't know what they want to do. This creates an expectation for something that may never even come. They usually announce stuff super long in advance, which leaves the thing announced subject to being altered, retooled, or cancelled entirely.
Comparing this to Universal, they only really announce things when they're absolutely sure they're ready to. Note that all info we have on Epic Universe has come from official records that they had to file in order to build the park - they've barely said anything about it on official channels. "Officially," the only thing we really know is the concept art, the fact that the park is being built, and the fact that they plan to use IPs. That's all they've said on official channels.
With Hagrid and Velocicoaster, they didn't even say anything about them until they were practically about to open. This gives Universal far more control over the expectations set for their products - something Disney doesn't really manage as well.
Remember the Mary Poppins ride everyone was excited for? Turns out, that was just going to be an indoor Teacups ride.
I imagine Disney has their reasons for announcing things as early as they do - probably something to do with trying to maintain their stocks or something. But announcing things long before it's actually certain that they'll open doesn't sound very good for the stocks, should they go the way of the Play Pavillion.
Can you please do a part four Disney failed attraction openings video in the future?
Great think-piece. Your vids just get better and better!
Loved the ending! You all are awesome!!
the updates Epcot needs:
Imagination Pavillion- Splurge on a decent, Figment themed dark ride. Silver medal: Inside Out themed tour of imagination with Bing Bong.
UK: An actual Mary Poppins dark ride through the movie- NOT the glorified tea cup ride they were going to do.
Canada: Not sure, but a show themed to Turning Red with 4*Town and Mai as a Red Panda on stage would make sense.
France: Is fine now that Ratatouille is there. Though an updated theater show would be cool (Not the Beauty and the Beast Sing a long)
Morocco: Move the Magic Carpet ride in Magic Kingdom to here. Adds a family attraction to Epcot and opens up some space in Adventureland so it's not as crowded. Plus, there's 3 identical rides in Magic Kingdom. Bringing it down to 2 hurts nothing.
Japan: Actually build that rumored "Godzilla" themed coaster, but instead of Godzilla, have it be a coaster where you assist the Big Hero 6 team is fighting a giant, sleepwalking Fredzilla (Lab experiment gone wrong). Coaster cars can look like Baymax armor.
American Adventure: Update the show, or (I prefer) make it a Muppet themed humorous recap of American history. Make it feel less "Propaganda-ish".
Italy: Clone Pinocchio's Daring Journey from Disneyland.
Germany: Tangled themed "Snuggly Duckling" restaurant with live show featuring the bandits and maybe Rapunzel and Flynn.
China: Reflections of China is fine, but a Mushu or Sisu themed family coaster in there somewhere wuld be nice.
Norway: Fine as is.
Mexico: I don't get why the ride isn't rethemed to Coco yet. It's a no brainer.
Wonders of Life: If you're not going to do the Play Pavilion as initially planned, I propose doing it on a smaller scale themed to Mickey Mouse clubhouse, with a model of the clubhouse inside. Maybe with virtual interactive aspects with the characters inside. And reuse the Cranium Command concept, but with Professor Von Drake giving the audience control of Donald's brain, enraging the duck as we watch him (In the style of the 2013 Mickey Shorts) interact through the eye screens.
Thank you for your time.
Great work, as usual TPMvids! Have a happy 4th of July!🎉🧨🎇🎆
Thanks so much!! Happy 4th of July!!
5:12 I would’ve loved to see the Edna Mode Animation Academy attraction. I actually remember going to the original Animation Academy at the California Parks as a kid.
Today my mom and grandma are going Disney land today 🎉! :)
Epcot was my absolute favorite as a kid...mainly due to the innoventions buildings and the interactive exhibits in all the buildings! Its so sad to me that that stuff is all but gone. But dont get me wrong, i still absolutely adore epcot...just mainly because of the world showcase now. Also, Harmonius was absolutely incredible and i am soooo bummed they took it away.
Hey Tom! Love ur vids! Keep up the good work man! 😅😊❤
Sorry I meant TPM
Love your videos 🤗💕
Actually would have been best park for sure.
I love Sundays because it’s when tpm uploads new videos
Hope you enjoy the video!
TPMvids I’m your biggest fan!
We need a complete transformation!
We need more for Epcot!
I feel like AK, EPC, & DHS NEEDS some franchises that can give them relevance. However, for EPC’s case… I think it was a bit of everyone’s fault; in my defense for them (Disney), though Covid did struck them hard and gave them some downfall, however, Universal Orlando wasn’t defeated by it. Although, it was all planned for the 50th but I do think some of those plans can come back, especially for the fact that I am hearing the same opinions of some of their attractions being “Dated“. So what I’m trying to say is I feel like some of the attractions can get a second life when it’s best, but it’s clear they are mostly relying on Moana to save Epcot, mainly before they reimagine the older attractions.
I am glad i got to see epcot before all the construction happened. Last time i went was in 2015. I really did enjoy the parks but now with everything going on i haven't been able to feel the same. Nothing but ips getting slapped left and right in the parks. Something needs to change. Hopefully i can see Magic Kingdom before that gets changed for the worse. I have heard too many rumors about my second favorite land being changed. Nice video though i always enjoy watching your animatronic fails and park fails.
I find disneys decisions to be incredibly frustrating. They have more “storage space” than any other park in the world. A ride in Germany cancelled due to budget, now is storage. A play pavilion, cancelled & used for storage. Guardians was announced to have 12 animatronics, all cancelled & replaced with screens. Mary Poppins attraction, cancelled. The next year at D23 they announced a bunch of new stuff, never mentioning the cancelled projects again, everyone is excited over the new announcements, basically distracting from the cancelled projects. They get billions in revenue each year but can’t spend money to make the parks better.
Epcot needs all the love it can get. I hope to see the spaceship earth revamp happens eventually
There were rumours that the Mary poppins ride was coming over to Epcot but obviously it didn’t happen
Excellent video! Maybe if Iger hadn’t spent $70 Billion dollars buying Fox right before the pandemic Disney would have had the money to finish more projects.
Some ride ideas for Epcot World Showcase Pavillion:
Italy-Luca dark ride similar to Remy's Ratatouille
Japan-Big Hero 6 dark ride similar to Rise of Resistance
Germany-Pinocchico dark ride similar in style to one at Disneyland
China-Zootopia dark ride similar to one in Japan's Disney
Morocco-Atlantis: The Lost Empire dark ride similar to Remy's.
the rides mentioned in this are open now and they are sooooo fun!!!!!
I love what you do
Omg tpm why do I get so excited when I watch you vids lol
I also think that Spaceship Earth needs to reopen because many people want to take pictures in front of this landmark, and not in front of a construction nightmare
,
I hope that in the near future, all of these would be able to open up to their expectations but we’ll have to wait and see
I also wish that they could’ve saved some of these ideas but changed them
Epcot does need a lot of TLC. I most of the new additions I saw both this year and last year. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is my favorite ride at Disney World, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is really cure and fun, and Space 220, while hit or miss with the food, is a great experience. I am one of those that wasn't a fan of Harmonious last year and was happy to see Epcot Forever this year.
I did get to see Reflections of China last year and oh man does it need to be updated badly. It was nice to get in out of the heat, but that show did not age well at all.
omg I love your videos!
perhaps though the 'death' of the play pavilion may have been a good thing, assuming it was leaning too heavily on Ralf Breaks The Internet aesthetic (I never even watched the film). the internet and trends move too fast. what was cool today is dinosaur in a year. If done wrong, the play pavilion might have ended up like a slightly updated disney quest, just with things like LOL and emoji faces pasted everywhere. and we know how much of a ghost town disney quest became
It’s pretty sad that it’s taking this long to finish Epcot and like you said who’s to blame I don’t know that’s a tough question I don’t even tougher answer
I would love to see a gusteaus restaurant and a lot of more meeting greets, like Mary poppins, maybe have a Christopher robin with Winnie the Pooh, and the play house for new greets of characters. Maybe some new rides.
I really hope this goes viral worldwide so Disney can see this because this is the truth! They need to do something about this
We need fix-ups to the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Epcot to make it more thrilling and exciting both inside and outside!
I do think Guardians is a great ride! Probably one of the best coasters at Walt Disney World
I think that it was Bob Capek and Covid-19. I have a few reasons why I think it was Bob Capek.
1. He was a bad C.E.O. Because one time I was waiting in line for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and he closed the ride for no reason at all when there was nothing wrong with the ride.
2. All he cared about was money. Bob Iger didn’t care about money. Bob Iger only cared about families having a great time at Disney. Bob Capek cared about money because he spent some money to create the Lighting Lane System and spending the money that Disney earned to continue the construction process.
I think that it was also Covid-19 because it shut down Disney. But even though Covid shut down Disney, Disney opened a few months later and continued construction. I think that they could’ve waited a few months to continue construction because they haven’t earned any money for a few months. If I was C.E.O, I would wait about 6-7 months to let people come back into the parks and let Walt Disneys Engineering to continue construction and I would delay the 50th anniversary.
My idea of “More Disney” - highly themed, immersive experiences with excellent customer service.
Disney’s idea of “More Disney”: Let’s stick a drawing of an animated character on it.
Love your videos❤
Can you make a playlist of all the music you use? Love your vids!!
Honestly, scrapping the Play Pavillion was probably for the best... Theming it around emojis and Ralph Breaks The Internet was a peculiar choice
YEEEEEES NEW UPLOAD
Very interesting how Why openings were hit but mostly miss why people on social media were modern having negative OPINIONS but we agree on
