I don't understand carrot vision on so many conceptual levels and I feel like they're just fundamentally misunderstanding muppet vision

ECTO COASTER IS HAPPENING

Although I'll admit, the "rich textures and warm, metallic tones" being sold as a feature is contemporary design jargon at its worst. I'd appreciate it a lot more if they actually told us why they're employing those motifs. Sure, it's obvious, but throw us a bone.

GEO-82 is a great name and I'm tired of pretending to be indifferent about this. Not only does this open doors for some potential Buckminster Fuller representation, but it evokes the same vibe to me as SMRT-1. Yeah, EPCOT doesn't need another bar, but I'm definitely more enticed here than in WS.

A remarkable knock-on effect: part of the reason for the elimination of the water features is because Innoventions destroyed guest flow through Communicore.

The long breezeways were mostly blocked off, so they had to replace water with hot pavement instead.

Luckily Disney would never do that again

While I still think tearing out the river is a bad idea- this project isn't theoretically terrible if it actually commits to its (supposedly) lofty objective. The pastiche of the American Western is fun, but the natural beauty of the world is a much more compelling contemporary myth.
