News Round Up

wdwthemeparks (unofficial site) is reporting a strong rumor that Innovations west, after closing, will become seasonally opened "Event space" ala the Wonders of Life pavillion. https://twitter.com/WDWThemeParks/status/579672066036731904

I think it is fine the way it is. Some of the conversations on here are not really "news" related. I recently had to sift through multiple pages of financial reporting debates and monorails discussions just to find some of the news updates. Lol.

They have based this off of rumors on the wdwmagic boards but no one knows so take this with a grain of salt

Agreed. Color me skeptical.

Also a page later, I like the thread the way it is.

Even while being a "less-than-credible rumor" at the present, it's hard to discount this as being a good possibility. Heck, even if and when they do get around to deciding what (if anything) to do with the space, that puts us another 2-3 years out from seeing anything come to fruition. I think it's pretty safe to assume that Innovations West will become "seasonal" space or a new M&G area for the foreseeable future. That's a pretty tough pill to swallow knowing that the only firm additions coming to EPCOT anytime soon are a third Soarin' theater and Elsa. So after we subtract Innovations and Maelstrom, I believe we're back in the negative...

Like this idea! Our family loves the JC. Could be fun with having the wait staff have a little bit of attitude similar to WCC and 50's PT.

Not that I am in favor of them trying to bring an Adventurer's Club vibe to the restaurant (Just can't do AC in a restaurant format) but I would very much love to see some of the props from AC populate the walls of the restaurant. Would be a lovely nod for some Disney fans. I vote for Babylonia to represent.

Question for followers of this thread. Would you like me to start a new thread where I have the first post be the table of contents and the rest is discussion for the things that had been posted. The general discussion would stay of course just an easy place for followers to find the news stories and the date.

No need to do that, but starting a new thread every 3 or 6 months to segment the discussions a little bit might be a good idea for new people to the boards.

Awesome news. Never too many food options and nice to have a ride themed restaurant.

Also good choice to put a marvel store into Disney Springs
