Posted: Friday January 26, 2024 11:40am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Here is a latest look at EPCOT's upcoming 8,000-foot climate-controlled exhibit space, CommuniCore Hall.




The new venue will provide space for additional festival offerings that won't depend on Florida weather, which is also dividable into two distinct sections.




CommuniCore Hall will also be home to an indoor Mickey and Friends character meet and greet.


The surrounding CommuniCore Plaza will feature a garden with space to view entertainment from a covered performance stage and seating for nearby festival food and drink kiosks.

    They just sunk money into EPCOT, and test track is being funded by GM.

    Where to put this idk, but in addition to Epcot’s lighting woes, Tron has multiple broken lighting effects too. Sections of blue showing as green randomly in the big load room. And the first glass fin(?) in the launch area on the left is red when it should be blue. Maybe we’ll have cool reliable lighting systems again someday

    To me going to World Showcase was basically walking down Creation's Shop with a wall on the right. If you had to say go from East side or West side of Future World yeah you'd have to go to one end or the other. To leave the park in front you had a short cut exit on one side.

    Zach Riddley and Charita Carter have been assigned "other duties"? 🤷‍♂️

    They just "fixed" it, remember? They had a whole campaign that went on for years about how they were revamping the entire place. It resulted in a confusing mishmash with no clear goal and a ton of things that still desperately need work sitting there in plain sight, but from their perspective they just improved everything.

    In other words not too different from the park today

    MK currently has one major attraction down in Thunder Mountain, another C/D ticket is closing in August in Buzz Lightyear, and a moderate capacity play (Rivers of America / Tom Sawyer Island / Riverboat) are also expecting to close before the end of the year. This begs the question, why is Test Track the only overhaul / replacement / refurbishment currently going on at EPCOT? Spaceship Earth, Nemo and Imagination all needed to be refurbished 10 years ago.

    I was referencing the joke I made above but yes I hated the walls. They made navigating the park a nightmare and were really really ugly.

    All of those bad memories of 2022? Yeah, that would be so rough... :rolleyes:

    Can’t be much worse than the fiasco that’s there now.
