Disney's Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT) Park. Has two sections, Future World and World Showcase. Walt Disney World's second theme park opened on October 1, 1982.
Disney confirmed at D23 that several new projects are coming to Epcot in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021, including new attractions A major new ride — themed to “Guardians of the Galaxy,” the hit Marvel movie series — is planned for Epcot’s front section, where a simulator attraction, Mission: Space, will be updated and expanded. A ride based on the Pixar film “Ratatouille” will be added to the park’s World Showcase area. And Epcot will serve as a stop for a new gondola system called Disney Skyliner connecting various hotels and parks. They also unveiled plans to replace the current CircleVision 360 film in the China pavilion with a new one, to be shot using next-generation digital seamless CircleVision cameras that will eliminate the black lines between the round theater’s screens.
In addition, Disney released a ‘Blue Sky’ concept painting of Epcot’s new Future World, giving an idea of what the front part of the park may look like in several years. In the artwork, Spaceship Earth’s iconic ball is essentially unchanged, but the post-ride exhibit behind it has been downsized, and both Innoventions buildings have been removed entirely, replaced with lots of green space reminiscent of the old “Project Gemini” concept. Furthermore, the Fountain of Nations has been removed, replaced by elaborate new fountains in World Showcase lagoon.
In this Epcot concept art, the attraction buildings in Future World East (Universe of Energy, Wonders of Life, Mission: Space, Test Track) look much as they do today, but on the West side a new hedge maze-like structure and additional water features appear outside of The Land. Keep in mind that, as ‘blue sky’ concept art, it may not accurately reflect the final product.
