EPCOT Future World Central Spine demolition - October 5 2020
Posted: Friday October 9, 2020 2:40pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Click the gallery for a look at the demolition progress on the central spine of EPCOT's Future World.

Work is continuing on stripping the interior of Mouse Gear, with much of the structure now completely visible through from either side.

Demolition is moving further inside the former Electric Umbrella, including the removal of the second level seating.

A few small exterior areas have been removed from Innoventions North West, which was expected to be fully demolished to make way for the Moana gardens. It remains unclear what the revised plans are for this area.

    I think a lot of us feel the same way...Lifelong Disney fan, DVC owner...when you start seeing the bizarre changes and flubbed renovations you start to wonder what is going on....and then Universal builds a new park that looks like they are building on the legacy Disney created.... While Disney seems to be dumbing down and value engineering the experiences while continuing to up-charge for everything.... We have reduced the amount of our visits over the past few years... Just too difficult and filled with planning rather than the fun impromptu trips we used to make up there many times a year.... It is becoming not so much fun...

    We were chasing this toon. He had just robbed a bank. We followed him all the way to Epcot And he pushed the wall on my brother! I couldn’t go to Epcot after that until the walls were completely down. It was simply too painful.

    What's up with him? A wall killed his brother. .

    Please no. I hated the walls.

    They've started putting the dance parties at CommuniCore Hall in ads like it's a draw. You know what? I think I preferred the walls. Can we go back to them?

    FWIW, the temporary F&G additions to LwtL are atrocious. 👎

    On the bright side, the fountain lights that go straight into the air are working again

    A bunch of the fountain base lights are completely broken once again, some are just off and others are flickering. Also, did they just give up on fixing these two dead sections of the entrance plaza perimeter ribbon lighting? Also, the spotlights in the west legs of SSE have not turned on in over 6 months, the east restroom ribbon lights have been completely off and the west restroom ribbon lights have been a colorful mess for a few weeks now. Not to mention the incorrect colors on the tall pathway lights on the west side. All of these issues and I haven’t even passed fully under SSE yet (which is itself in awful shape lighting wise too). I don’t even have words at this point. I’ve been documenting this stuff for months for what it’s worth, and pretty much none of it has been fixed. The stuff that was fixed lasted at most 2 months before breaking again. 847715847716847717847719847718

    I don’t know about some “raspy girl” but if they make a custom background track then it will 100 percent be its fun to be free.

    When I was there a few weeks ago, it seemed to me the channels that were popped up were because they weren't glued/mortared in. And I'm guessing the reason they weren't sealed in was for continuing toubleshooting.

    World of Motion too. Although I don't think absolutely any kind of kinetic energy is automatically a good thing; it needs to fit the area.
