EPCOT Experience closing on March 14, no replacement announced
The EPCOT Experience, a special presentation showing what is coming to EPCOT, will be closing on March 14 to make way for new activities inside the Odyssey pavilion, Zach Ridley, Creative Portfolio Executive at Disney Imagineering, wrote on Instagram.
The 360-degree, floor-to-ceiling screen presentation debuted on Oct. 1, 2019 uses 30 projectors to bring the experience to life as well as a three-dimensional model to highlight the changes.
Most of the projects that were introduced in the show are either open or underway, including Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Harmonious and the upcoming debut of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Other projects, including the the Mary Poppins attraction, were either canceled or placed on hold after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the park to close.
“I’m proud of the work and storytelling that our Imagineers put into this incredible 360-degree presentation, as it beautifully set the stage for the largest transformation in the history of EPCOT, and provided an in-depth look at the exciting attractions and experiences being developed for this beloved park.” Ridley wrote.
“We have a lot more to share in the weeks and months ahead, and I am grateful for the opportunity to provide an in-depth look at the process through our Imagineering lens. Follow along with me here as we share more exciting details about this historic EPCOT transformation, including Journey of Water inspired by Moana, the ongoing evolution of World Celebration, and more,” he wrote.
