The latest of the new themed digital tip boards has landed in EPCOT's World Discovery between Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind and Test Track.

The tip board takes on a minimalist look, with light grey paneling in a sleek tower cabinet. Beneath the video display is a Spaceship Earth logo.

The EPCOT Bold Font makes an appearance on the screen and offers wait times and operating hours for everything in the park.

The display in World Nature has yet to be installed and is currently still a plain video screen.

All of the World Showcase displays have been finalized in a more ornate green cabinet.

You can see/hear one at Universal too, Kings Cross has a board like that.

Now, THAT would be cool themed to the 60's mechanical Flip/Flap displays. I LOVE to hear them as they update. JFK Aiport TWA Hotel restored one and it's fascinating to watch.

They match the kiosks and guest relations podia in this section of the park. These are all coordinated and look vastly superior to the oddly shaped blue-and-silver capsule kiosks they'd been using for years before.

"Themed" to a vending machine? I mean, i get it, it is great to have information boards, but the execution is joyless... All the style of an airport arrivals board...LOL Though having these is very helpful and necessary...

While I agree that the experience is poor, I don't think it's even "worth it" until you get Connections open since you'd otherwise still be funneling people down very narrow paths with all of the space required around the building for equipment and machinery. It just makes way more sense to keep the entire active construction zone connected and gradually retreat to the west instead of turning Connections into an island.

Oh sorry I misread. Yes it really is amazing they still haven’t got a central pathway installed yet. Not a great first impression.

I understand, I wasn't really referring to the signs but as a whole in general, and the central pathway etc, as mentioned in the comment quoted.

Those were temporary and been replaced with permanent themed signs

because they have no idea what they are doing with this park other than destroying all heart, theme, and common sense. Im going to borrow a word from marni, I think this is the one he uses; "idiots"...I like to use "neanderthals" but probably about the same.

I wonder who's in charge of unplugging it at closing time!

My first thought reading the title was "Disney made boards for me to give it even more money? Man, USA tipping culture keeps getting weirder every year." In my defense, I am a foreigner. I'm happy with these boards, I'm actually surprised they didn't do this earlier, since Universal has had them for a while and it shouldn't be hard to create.
