Epcot Memory!!!!I think I'm going crazy!!!

[Dustin]

I just had a random memroy of a path in Epoct. It is surrounded by flowers and the walkway plays notes when you step on it. For the past few days I have been searching the internet. I can not fond a single site or picture. I'm trying to figure out wheter or not I'm going crazy. Does this musical pathway in Epcot exist?!!?!?!?

Sort of yes...although I don't recall any flowers? It is (or was...I haven't been in there in awhile) in the building at the Imagination pavillion that has all the interactive items for you to play with. You could wave your hand over this board and conduct different orchestra instruments, they used to have the really big pin tables the kind you could lay your hand under and raise up the image of your hand, and that sort of thing. Well anyways, they had a tunnel you could walk through and as you stepped on ?rainbow? carpeted sections it would play music. At least that is how I remember it.

Edit to add: It was called the "What If" Labs

Wasn't there something off the Rose Garden path between Future World and the World Showcase? Part of the path is now closed off, perhaps that was it.

 

[Dustin]

i know abut ImageWorks.....I think it was behind innoventions or mousegear. It was outside...and parallel to the normal sidewalk....i just happened to walk on it and it made musical notes. In fact!!!!! I think, long ago the park map had little musical notes specifying it....but i can't find one of those either.

 

[Dustin]

i think it was near that little stage behind one of the innoventions. can someone please tell me if it existed or still exists.

 

[Horizons16]

the only one i seem to remember are those that have already been discussed.
I dont ever remember one being in the are that you are talking about.

i think it was near that little stage behind one of the innoventions. can someone please tell me if it existed or still exists.

Which Innoventions? The one near The Land or the one near Test Track? The path that I'm thinking about starts behind Innoventions West (near Imagination and The Land) and goes parallel with the main walkway and lets you off between the main walkway and Canada (near the McDonalds stand). It is surrounded by roses. There is a rectangular section of the walkway that is now closed. Do you think that is it?

 

[Dustin]

test track....i think. could be our pathway.

 

[robinb]

Test Track is on the other side of the park from the rose garden walkway. The Butterfly Garden is on the Test Track side, but I don't remember music. Then again, I wasn't a WDW regular until 1997.

 

[Dustin]

turns out this pathway is behind Ice Station Cool. It is off the normal path in a grassy area. You can get to it by passing Ice Station Cool (if coming from Future World) and take the second pathway on your right. once on that pathway, you see a small pathway bear off to the right......our hidden musical pathway....i'm not sure if it plays musical notes anymore.

 

[robinb]

So ... it's the path to the left of the yellow star? I thought it might be the round area above the orange star.

Yes, I spent too much time on this, LOL!

 

[Dustin]

sweet....i acn't wait to go back this summer and try it out

 

[daisax]

There was an area of walkway somewhere in Epcot where the concrete kind of twinkled as you walked on it. I don't recall any sounds, though.

 

[Dustin]

that's in innoventios plaza

 

[Baloo]

I can't think of a musical path.Were you there during th Flower and Garden Fest? Sometimes the area you're talking about had special things it it during that festival.

I hope you find it again!

 

[bavaria]

Flower and Garden a few years ago had a musical grating - was this it?

 

[Dustin]

nope....i know that me and Robin found the location....just gotta go back and see if it works.
