Disney Hints At Big Changes To Come For Epcot
Big changes are coming to Disney’s (DIS) Epcot as the company announced the new Epcot Experience that will give a hint as to what is to come for the theme park.
In what Disney has called its “biggest transformation” of any of its theme parks in its entire history, the Epcot Experience from Walt Disney Imagineering will give park attendees a look into what the entertainment company has planned for the theme park in the near future.
Some of the changes to come to Epcot include a new PLAY! Pavilion, a new vision for Spaceship Earth, and new attractions based on popular films as well as a nighttime event called “HarmonioUS.”
While the new attractions opening dates were not announced by Disney, the company may be using the new Epcot Experience to entice park attendees and drive traffic up in the future. Disney has seen its ticket sales drop after raising prices despite the addition of its new “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” attraction at Disneyland.
Park attendees can see the Epcot Experience at the Odyssey Events Pavilion. Here, it will offer viewers a 360-degree presentation of the park’s past, present, and future. The presentation goes back to 1982 when the theme park opened and ends with the renovation plans Disney has in store for the park.
Shares of Disney stock were up 1.24 percent as of 2:40 p.m. ET on Friday.
