Rapid progress is being made on the demolition of the former Innoventions and Communicore buildings on the west side of Future World.

Epcot Future World West Demolition and Construction Walls - December 12 2019

With walls removed on all sides, guests can now see right through the building, which is now just a skeleton of steel structural supports.

In the central area, the construction walls have been updated with a large piece of concept art showing the new design.

Regarding my actual thoughts on this, I'm glad Soarin got some TLC, but I don't like the new Eiffel tower scene where you just kinda look at it from a distance. There was just a unique feeling you had scaling the tower from the bottom. At least the bendy tower is no more lol.

Sadly, that was the first thing I thought when I saw the pictures of the new ending.

That excuse really only applies to innoventions, communicore and a couple scenes in attractions since their purpose was to showcase the future and what it could bring. Even so these scenes and exhibits could be updated to showcase updated tech. Most attractions in future world avoided this problem by either focusing on the history of a subject and not the future (SSE, WOM, and some of UOE and horizons) or primarily focus on the content of the subject itself (LWTL, MS, TT 1.0 and JII)

Not sure if anyone said this here but the new white channels they put it a few weeks ago is not a LED diffuser so I guess those ground lights are going away unless its a temporary cover cause the previous one got damaged. It doesn't look temporary the way they glued them in though.

It totally feels like a boardroom-designed overhaul...

I didn't love that idea originally, but I've come around. I think that would have been simplest, using the colors to add some thematic change from one area to the other. If they wanted the neighborhoods, I still think Epcot Center (SSE, Spine, TT and IMAG - focused on classic Epcot inspiration and innovation), World Discovery (M:S, Guardians and something planetary for WoL - tied around space exploration, real and fantasy) and World Nature (Land, Seas, JoW - natural world) would have made more sense. But, they need more separation between the areas so it's a clearer distinction. As it was done, it feels separated on paper in a conference room, not reality of a physical space.
