arthuruscg 34 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 It closed on on the 8th and is scheduled to reopen on Aug 2nd.I knew it would take a while to scrape all of the stickness of floor but that is a long time. Especialy thru the peak summer season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd be happy if they would just clean the lens on the camera at Soarin'. Disney spends all of that money for the smells, the breeze, the shaking of the ride when the fireworks go off, just to have a piece of dust the size of a watermelon float by or better yet, get hung right in the field of view on the screen... They might as well just turn the movie into a black and white Roy Rogers film.......and it doesn't seem to matter which side of Soarin' you ride...that big piece of lint is there. Wouldn't you think someone would take the initiative to clean it or is initiative a bad word at WDW? Big Kahuna aka John 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I actually told Bella the other day that I bet there is a Phineas and Ferb rollercoaster in Epcot before she graduates. She's six, so they can think about it awhile. But that's my vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Epcot could be improved exponentially by the installation of a Peoplemover that goes around the entire lake, with stops near Test Track, Innoventions, International Gateway, America, and China or Norway. It would be both an attraction and a mode of transporation. After 9 pm they could operate adults-only booze cruises, where you could drink and watch Illuminations.Great minds.

caveat lector 181 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ditto! We generally go to The Land - I love the boat ride (yep, I'm the one).....I'm with you Mo, I must be the "other one" that likes the boat ride. :) BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ok we all love the The Land. But don't want to admit it. It's kind of like riding a moped instead of riding your Harley. It's fun to ride you just don't want your friends to see you in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So it sounds like we could charter our own Fiend cruise of The Land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 We might even be able to fill an entire boat ourselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 So it sounds like we could charter our own Fiend cruise of The Land. I would SO be down with that. But not because I like The Land. It's because I'm making a calculated guess that a Fiend cruise would involve copious amounts of alcohol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 And that would make the moped cool. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure this is becoming a Starbucks soon, right? I'd like to see them at least leave what's there and add an attraction in WoL pavilion. There needs to be something to pull crowds from TT and Soarin. Only if you're gullible and believe the two knuckleheads on here that keep saying that. I just checked. And the walls are already up and Fountain View is closed. Brent- Don't listen to Lou. The rumors are true. Starbucks is taking over a prime spot in each of the parks. And it doesn't stop there. I heard that after the new Starbucks are up and running, work will begin on the rehab of the Wonders of Life pavilion. It will be rethemed and reopen as Wonders of Caffeine. The sponsor is currently not named- I think they are holding out for the highest bidder among Starbucks, Joffrey's and Necafe'. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FortWildernessFan 10 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Wow! Epcot has always been my favorite park. It is out dated in a lot of areas. But my wife and I enjoy the ambiance more than anything. We like to turn the kids loose at whatever park they want and then we make a leisure day out of Epcot and spend some very needed time with each other. We like to slowly make our way around and snack on different tastes from the different countries. We then finish up the day sharing a funnel cake and sitting on the steps at Japan and watching illuminations. Avatab.... Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wdwpoohbear...Jennifer 40 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Epcot is my favorite park too. Well, let me rephrase that, World Showcase at Epcot is my favorite. FW needs a MAJOR overall (sounds like most of us agree with that) and I tend to walk my way through it to get to World Showcase. I love the Candlelight Processional and the feeling that you are traveling around the world in one day without actually leaving the country. Just my two cents....

mikmouse 3 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I could be way behind the curve here, but I haven't heard this one before today. Has anyone else heard the rumor that they are changing the cabins at the Fort and some will have two bedrooms? :thinking-smiley: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DinDavie 37 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 There is a rumor flying around Orlando that The Norway attraction at EPCOT is going to be updated to be themed after the Frozen movie. I wonder if it will be a sing along including a bouncing ball. That would be a first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm skeptical, but that would be cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 IMO it would not take a great deal of effort to retheme the existing Maelstrom into a Frozen ride. The boats could start like at the beginning of the movie, with the Frozen Heart song being sung. The trolls can stay....just more of them and friendlier. Add Olaf, and then the part where you go up, they could replace the bear with the snow monster guarding Elsa's castle. Then down the big hill and at the bottom they could turn it into a final scene celebration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
