Actually my feelings wouldn’t tell me they are too different. I wasn’t alive in the pre-character era at Epcot. My first visit was in ‘98, and I was 6. As far as I have ever known the park, it’s been one of the worst parks in Orlando with nothing all that special about it.
I know people loved it, but I could care less about the past. I’ll take what they’re doing now over the nothing they’ve been doing for decades any day of the week.
It amazing how only a 5-year difference in age and a couple of trips earlier in the 1990s can put us in such radically different positions about this park.
I mean, I literally will take any coaster. The Guardians coaster is almost certainly going to be my favorite in the park by a wide margin.
Here's an interesting thought experiment just for kicks: what would Guardians have to do (or not do) for you to be unimpressed with it, for any reason?
What if it's just a souped-up wild mouse in a big, dark box?
If you had to explain Epcot, how would you go about it - and what separates it from MK or DHS?
This is the million dollar question. I doubt Chapek or Iger could answer it.
Until Disney themselves are able to articulate it, they do not have the benefit of the doubt from me on anything they're planning for this park.
I’m sure Disney realizes this and are attempting to strike some balance.
Any "balance" I'm seeing (at this point) is purely on a superficial level. Bringing a more retro vibe back to the entrance plaza, for example, while nice, is purely cosmetic.
