EPCOT Innoventions West demolition - March 15 2021
Posted: Monday March 15, 2021 10:29am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The final section of the former Innoventions West has now been removed at EPCOT'S Future World, bringing to an end the majority of the major demolition in the park.

Guests passing underneath Spaceship Earth are now presented with a very different view.


Although all of the vertical sections have been removed, there is still plenty of work left to do on the ground. 

Crews continue to work on the are to prepare it for the upcoming Moana inspired water gardens.

There is no word yet on an opening timeframe for Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, although best estimates put it somewhere in 2022.

    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.

    I sincerely hope not. It would dig up a lot of bad memories for me.

    What are the odds construction walls go up in this area within the next year?

    Seriously. They put all this nice soft lighting and music loop in the new hub, but then put a dj playing 2000s club hits with harsh lights next to it. I blame the morons who spend their time watching the dj instead of exploring world showcase. Paying all that money for an experience they could get for free at Disney springs. Or a local bowling alley
