EPCOT Future World Electric Umbrella demolition - September 23 2020
Posted: Monday September 28, 2020 9:49am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work is continuing on demolition at the former Electric Umbrella in EPCOT's Future World along with parts of the Mouse Gear store.

The front of the Electric Umbrella is completely gone, leaving a clear view of the back wall still complete with the sign over the top of the registers.

At Mouse Gear, a handful of workers are slowly removing parts of the structure with metal cutting torches. Although work is continuing, it is moving at a much slower pace than before the shutdown in March.

The remaining half of Innoventions West remains largely as it was, although there are sounds of work inside and the site of the demolished half.

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.

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!
