That plan wasn't all bad, it left Innoventions in a much better state than it is now. But the coasters... :blank:

I'm really curious how this CommuniCore rumor is supposed to pan out. I can't really see why they would use that name unless they were truly trying to return the pavilion to its roots. I don't imagine that that name really has much nostalgia value with a lot of people.

Communicore fits with EPCOT Center - the rest of the park can really do whatever it wants if you cement those two ideas. It's all offshoots - literally. Remember that AK and DHS were proto-pavilions. The Africa pavilion truly wasnt that far off from what we got at AK. Heck, they made the big tree bigger (original designed Epcot attraction was a mini tree of life you climb up into and then watched a projection show of the life of the savannah with many vignettes, as if peering out into the world from a treehouse.)

Innoventions as a name is seen as a failed concept. So it has a negative connotation and needs to go. People still actively call the park EPCOT Center. About 30% of google searches of the park call it that. Similarly, Innoventions is often called "old Communicore."

Example:

"Where's the Starbucks at Epcot?"

"The old Communicore west building."

Time Racers would not have offended me anymore than the current incanation of SSE. And I don't know that the rain forest coaster is any worse than Soarin' thematically, would've been another E-ticket to soak up crowds. Nemo v. TLM feels like a wash.

Worst part of the plan was leaving Energy untouched, yet here we are 10 years later.

I don't think it's Mission Breakout, but they're making the building look like the CA version. There's some kind of track involved almost looking like Test Track with a front building and back building.

This is all going where UoE and WoL are.

CCore was filled with concrete to raise the lowered floor. Any hope of that getting jack hammered out?

No, WoL and UoE coming down for a GotG mini land is what I was told.

Innoventions is at some point supposed to turn back into Communicore along with the EPCOT Center name change.

This has been the rumored plan all along since Marni broke the news, there was to be a 3rd attraction (show) that was rolled into the UoE replacement....

Edit: The Beight balloon test last year over the WoL and UoE indicated a very large structure

So it's basically going to be a new GotG themed pavilion replacing UoE and WoL.
