Planet cool? (Soda from around the world)

[fishy_mouse]

There used to be an place in EPCOT sponsored by Coca-cola that served up sodas from around the world? Some were interesting, some awful. I think the name was Planet Cool, but don't really remember.

Does that place still exist?

Yep! Still there, same spot, same soda! I think it's called Cool Zone? Can't remember the exact name.

It used to be very small and it was called IceStation Cool. You walked through some fake snow and stuff and it was in there.

That is gone and now they have an actual "store-like" area with several different stations to get your samples. It is much easier to sample now but it did lose some of its ambiance!

I'm not sure how much space was "added". The ice tunnel extended out beyond the shop walls, so they didn't gain too much space by removing that (though probably a little). They took out a large wall of Coke display, and I think even more Arctic theme (the point being the connection to coke's polar bears), and that created room... for a second sales counter. It definitely feels roomier in there now, but looking back at my old photos, what's odd is that most of the "capacity" we see now was there before too, just a bit more cramped.
