One of the last remaining pieces of legacy signage removed from EPCOT

May 16, 2022 in "EPCOT"

Updated EPCOT Guest Relations sign and exterior - May 16 2022
Posted: Monday May 16, 2022 11:04am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The EPCOT Guest Relations sign has been removed and replaced with the new style as work continues in this area of the park.

The Guest Relations sign over the entrance was one of the last remaining legacy signs in the former Future World. Guest Relations has been temporarily relocated to the front of the park during the work.

Elsewhere in this area work is wrapping up on the newly extended column between Guest Relations and Connections Cafe. This addition conceals a stairway for rooftop access. The tall lighting poles seen elsewhere in World Celebration and World Discovery have also been installed.



Paintwork is also nearing completion in this area, with only a small section remaining in the former blue color.

    I believe that was sarcasm. They did not indeed put a dance party *in* the building in which the advertising shown it to be in the building (I think, I don't remember seeing such an ad). However, this Summer's dance party will indeed be inside Communicore.

    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.
