I really just want one more classic Epcot style pavilion. Epcot is not finished it’s dead it died in the 90s

It's time, for some clarification to the Classic comment, that Walt Said. I have it on good authority that he had meant, with saying, "Disneyland will never be completed, as long as there is Imagination left in the world", really meant that it could "be added to, added on things, because back then, there was plenty of room to expand. He never meant it to be misconstrued to the point that things get destroyed or ripped out. Walt loved the way his "baby" got built, and each thing and theme and land, meant something brilliant to him, as far as History, Adventure, Imagination, etc, etc, and this is what he meant. I know this for a FACT, and I will never waver on this, and I will continue to "shout it from the rooftops"! He never meant for things to get destroyed!!!! Just look at your fave Historical landmarks, and historical places, do you see anyone remodeling them??? It's nauseating seeing the destruction of the magic!!

It's a good thing that the "average" American Disney park patron doesn't know what just opened in Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea, or they would see EPCOTs new spaces as a laughingstock. Of course we could rewind over 20 years ago to see the same thing happened when Anaheim got Disney's California Adventure and Japan got DisneySea in the first place. There was no comparison. We are getting table scraps back in the states.

Epcot shouldn’t even have ips when it got devolved the creatives didn’t want Ip.Think of it this way when Walt saw the Cowboy walking through tommorow land .Think about it

[@randywhittle9678]

I do think that with Guardians and Ratatouille ride additions, Epcot did get better. Perhaps a better question is “Has Epcot gotten better since the 90s when they got rid of Horizons, World of Motion and the original version of the Imagination ride?” To that I would definitely say “No!”
On a side note…why all the hate for Fantasyland rides Christian??

[@nightisright1873]

How the hell could you make that argument Guardians doesn’t even fit in with the theme of Epcot .EPCOT is a park about the future and celebration of mankind’s achievements .How does a Marvel ride fit into it .Epcot should stick with showing the future and past of such important topics as Energy ,Space ,Imagination , the seas ,the land ,and others .

[@randywhittle9678]

I guess you didn’t read the rest of my post…I said it was definitely worse since the 90s when they got rid of all the rides/topics you spoke of. Guardians is a fun ride and better than a vacant Universe of Energy building.

Disney World is just Magic Kingdom 1 2 3 and 4 now

Please stop with the statues, Walt included. This latest one in Epcot is particularly humiliating. That desert of a center court remodel, ripping out the major fountain feature, is particularly galling. Five years on, for this?
