Epcot Updates
A major overhaul is coming to Epcot in Florida. The park
will now be divided into four main sections: World Showcase, World Discovery, World Celebration and World Nature, the latter three created from the former Future World.
- The World Showcase will get updated 360-degree films in China and Canada, a “Mary Poppins” walk-through attraction called Cherry Tree Lane in England, a “Beauty and the Beast” sing-along in France and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in summer 2020.
- World Discovery will get a new roller coaster to replace Ellen’s Energy Adventure called "Guardians of the Galaxy": Cosmic Rewind! The reverse-launching coaster (the first of its kind) will send riders into “space.” There will also be a space-themed restaurant, Space 220, connected to Mission Space.
- World Nature’s big new attractions include a “Moana”-themed nature trail with “living water” called Journey of Water and the “Awesome Planet” movie in The Land.
- Spaceship Earth’s story will shift from technology to storytelling. No word on if Dame Judi Dench will narrate the new ride, like the current version.
- A new PLAY! pavilion will feature a Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby water balloon fight and an “Incredibles” Edna Mode fashion feature.
- Two new night shows include Epcot Forever, which will have a limited run, and HarmoniUs, premiering next year. It will be the biggest Disney live show to date.
