If they don't call the updated Electric Umbrella "Electric Umbrella: Supercharged" then they have missed a tremendous opportunity

My vote is for "Umbrella 2: Electric Boogaloo

"Electric Umbrella 2: This Time It's Personal"

Looks like they are going to open up the area south of Innoventions soon. If you notice on Jan 11, they have now put tents up and put a permanent wall just north of them instead of the orange temporary fencing.

Phase 1 of demo (finally) almost complete:

Look there. I called it! :wave:

Has the Electric Umbrella gotten a name change? Serious question.

I’ve heard rumors that both Electric Umbrella and Mouse Gear may get name changes.

To be honest I think this is a good thing. The old names just sound so outdated and cheesy.

Is there anywhere in the park where you can't see that dang Guardians building?

Immersion. Pure immersion. ....And there's people that like to mock Universal when a corner of a building, in a film studio theme park, shows when they're standing on their head, looking into the west, at a 120 degree angle. :grin:

Unfortunately, I don't see how you would "theme" the GotG gravity building without making it stick out even more. It's just so massive. Obviously SSE is massive, but only so much you can do with a box. The design was terrible for the show building if they were ever going to actually theme it. The problem is they thought it was actually ok to just plop down that building in Epcot.

I agree with your comments. I was just mocking the people that jump on Universal but disappear when Disney does the same. Myself, I'm not picky about that stuff since they're just theme parks, bottom line. Nice when they can do an immersive land like Diagon/Ge/Pandora, but I don't expect everything to be so immersed. I don't really even notice that stuff except when someone on the forums makes a big deal of it.

It's totally immersive when the front half of your park is themed to a corporate office park

The Epcot fan in me would have loved to have seen a bold mural on the building
The realist in me understands that it's a win that the building is even sky blue

I've heard a rumour suggesting The Muppets might be heading to Epcot. WDW Theme Parks posted the following:

"WDWMagic.com user TheVisionarySoul is reporting that there are multiple concepts for redoing the Imagination Pavilion. The concepts include Inside Out and The Muppets. The Muppets concept includes The Muppets labs revealing that they created Figment."
