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.

You must be new here… If they aren’t complaining, its a rarity.

Two new rides and a cessation of a Food Festival during the Summer. If that's evolution, they're doing it wrong.

Coming soon (probably) to The Seas with Nemo and Friends - Cars: A Musical Celebration.

It’s less of a complete park today than it was in 1998… Our standards need re-evaluated.

nah its still a great theme park, but with more food options...thats not a bad thing imo. Epcot always felt like the adult park where they focused on eating drinking and ambience more than rides and thrills. But they added a few great rides over the last years so its gotten a bit better in that regard as well

The continuing evolution of Epcot from a theme park to the world’s largest food court.

One would assume it’s a mishmash of things that sell really well (ie highest prices/margins) from the 345 days a year of festivals I’m not in love with it…but it’s also not the worst idea ever If they’re smart…big If…they rotate it seasonally to not cross with the festival booths…it’s a good idea. If it’s set stuff and they just push volume…not so much.

I’m hoping that they have the empanada that the Encanto booth has during Festival of the Arts. That is one of my favorite festival foods!

I hope none of the VPs have heard of this thus far!!

Can't wait until all the VPs come strolling through and realize what a stupid idea it was to knock down West Communicore and the fountain in the first place.

I think it'll do well. With the sitting areas, some shade and chargers, people will probably want to grab a bite and a drink while there.
