Today I just found out via the Walt Disney World Underground news service that there are going to be a few changes around EPCOT. Here's the list I have compiled:
1: The Disney Corporation will be installing over-head "net" material over outside eateries so everyone in the park can eat without the danger of a bird lurking nearby to swoop down and take the food from unsuspecting guests.
2: Rumor has it that a new country will be added to the pavilion as an old one will be taken out. Sources say that the country being eyed for removal will be Morocco, and will be replaced with either Spain, Greece, or possibly Saudi Arabia.
3: Ford is eyeing Test Track. Seems as though the company wants to take the spot from GM. They are looking at this as a way to increase sales and regain the number 1 spot of automobiles sold after being defeated by the current number 1, a japanese automobile company. A Ford executive said "The loss of the number one spot, which we have held for many many years, is a bit of a slap in the face. We needed to wake up and see what we can do as far as sponsorship".
3: I seem to have saved the best for last. As i'm sure everyone knows, AT&T pulled the plug on their sponsorship of Spaceship Earth. Inside sources are speaking of another high-tech company to take over the giant globe, with the possibility of it being Dell, Sprint, or IBM. Whoever takes over will also possibly get a chance at "re-doing" the slow-paced ride inside using their company's equipment and also re-building the attraction area after the ride.
