What’s old is new again, as Imagineer Zach Riddley shared a first look at the new Epcot entrance fountain pylons that replace the original ones that used to be there. It’s all part of a reimagining of Epcot’s Future World.
As part of the ongoing construction in the Future World part of Epcot, the park entrance area will be renamed World Celebration. The Leave-A-Legacy monuments have already been removed and replaced with planters, and the fountain up by Spaceship Earth is being redone.
When the park first opened, the fountain included three see-through spires or pylons, and those are being replaced. Here are some nighttime shots Riddley posted to his Instagram page, which were then shared by Disney Parks Blog:
For now, the fountain remains behind construction walls as they finish working on it. There’s no word on when it will be fully revealed.
Here’s how the entrance fountain originally looked in this photo provided by Jeff Lange at MouseSteps.com:
Here’s how the fountain has looked in the last few decades, with the fountain portion remaining but the sires or monument removed:
