They took over half a decade to build a queue line for an Animal Kingdom attraction (without an attraction attached) in EPCOT’s future world.
I ain't gonna lie, it looks like something that should've been in Animal Kingdom. The theming would've matched perfectly on the Asian side of Animal Kingdom since the Samoan/Tongan islands are closer to Asia than the U.S. It seems out of place in the part of EPCOT that has a theming about the future. It's basically a tropical island in the middle of a futuristic Plaza. Other than that, it's a cool walk through, especially during the hot days. It could be better but at the same time, it could be worse. The placement of this is my only biggest gripe. Water effects are amazing and fit the Moana theming though. 😊
I agree with you there. But what is really out of place is Cosmic Rewind. That really needs to be over in Hollywood Studios, not EPCOT.
Epcot doesn't have a Future World anymore, this attraction is in World Nature
@@plantgayforlifeFuture World will always be Future World no matter what name Disney tries to change it to
@@Lil_Angry_Bitch lol it's DISNEY'S park, they can change the name of the whole resort if they wanted to
Video of nothing but a q queue 😢?
Mind boggling how much time and money was spent on this queue for the new "Sidewalk to the rest of Epcot" ride
Moana's interactive queue to nowhere! :)
Ha, I really like how that waterfall transports you to a magical secret bathroom!
That's so you can make your own journey of water
😆
Why the heck is this in Epcot and not AK? Also, it looks like a great interactive queue area for a real attraction.
Because it’s part of World Nature, and Moana has nothing to do with animals.
If you read the signs throughout, you could've figured out why. Since it has nothing to do with animals.
Adult Disney fans are truly the worst complainers lol
Everything new in the parks doesn't have to be an E-ticket attraction, but this comes off as an overly elaborate splash pad. The best part is the background music. After years of construction and millions of dollars spent, we're just seeing the same water leaping effects used outside Journey Into Imagination. Shame on Imagineering.
Exactly. Disney attraction that matches Universal minion villion walk through attraction.
Yep. Why would Imagineering use 40 year old water features for Moana? Maybe to get people to think of Figment?😁 I'm totally ok with that..
Yep been there done that on the figment ride stopping to watch the jumping water and here they spend all that time and money to give you more jumping water at Moana they really really should have made it into a ride because most of the movie was filmed on a boat in the water so they could have done something like Frozen and made it into a ride
This should be a free attraction at Downtown Disney or, at best, in one of the waterparks, not taking up 5% of the front of EPCOT.
Agreed
AGREE
Looks more like a queue for a Moana attraction
Bingo! Where is the real attraction?
Your absolutely right
Agreed - very like Little Mermaid with no ride
Oh my gosh. That’s my favorite description. I’m not even going to bother commenting anymore.
@@michajaneroythank you so much for your physical comment, and engaging in the interpret of this whimsical dinosaurs doubled down land. i love the horrifying hilarious chuckles you gave me while reading your text. please inform me irrationally about your grandpas surgery. 😊😊😅😮😮😮😢🎉
Sorry but that's a big fail. That should be how the Polynesian resort should be decorated outside or around their pool areas because that's all it looks like is landscaping. It belongs at the resorts that cost thousands to stay at.its definitely not an attraction. The ppl saying it looks like a queue for a Moana ride are 💯.
It looks nice! This would be more fitting and immersive in Animal Kingdom. Especially when this is about water conservation and nature. Seeing Spaceship Earth can either be a cool background or a jarring one. You really don't feel you're in that world when seeing Spaceship Earth in the backdrop. That's under Bob Chapek's watch. 🤷♂️
I thhinkk its fine where it is because it lead to land of nature...problem is land of nature isn't natural at all.
Epcot is about the earth, culture, and education. This fits right in though I wish they had a little more Polynesian elements.
Im gonna bet a few months after the walk thru opens to the public, all the water effects will probably stop working or barely work lol
Well you would be happy to know
Patiently waiting for Tom to ROAST this attraction hehe
I do not think he will roast it. I think he will give it praise for it being a new and different kind of attraction within Epcot but with some detailed criticism here and there.
@@blackfox1320 The Polynesian islands are formed from volcanos so there are actually mountainous rock formations in Moana's world. I've seen other walk-through attractions on videos from other Disney Parks overseas, and this one isn't actually as boring as those are.
It looks like a whole lot of nothing, and putting all that water spray out there doesn't cool you off on hot humid days. Where's the shade? $ would have been better spent on more shade in the park.
This should have been at Typhoon Lagoon or Animal Kingdom or Disney Springs. Instead of demolishing Innoventions. Innoventions will be forever missed that’s what used to make Epcot feel like Epcot instead of Ipcot
6:24 - "Do you know how we Disney help protect shared water resources?" -- LOL Not by creating a splash zone which wastes water via variou ways including evaporation.
I will say that it does look well put together with the water effects, and I'm sure it will be very popular on the super hot days, but it still seems unfinished or lacking in something. Maybe more flowers to add color to the greens browns.
I live between Orlando and Tampa, and on very hot days it is humid like a sauna - nothing here has a cooling factor, but putting more humidity out there. If there was shade, would have been better
Maybe a Moana meet and greet?
It's missing an actual attraction because this was originally conceived as a queue for a Moana Attraction that was never built.
Ummmm, yeah. What can I say?!? ….Well, I’m SUPER EXCITED for the “Monster’s Land” at Epic Universe! 🤔🤷🏼♂️
its called dark universe
They put this in a experimental prototype city of tomorrow??
Exactly what I was thinking. Why?
Patiently waiting for Toms honestly review !!!
I just showed my sister that was excited for this...last time we where there was for her 10th bday..while we where in wallcot the topic about Moana came up...she was so excited for this..yall when showed her she was just like is that it ...her an i both agreed it make agreat queue
I don’t understand why it’s not in AK!
Because the loud music would disturb the animals nearby.
This is just the Queue for t's tough to be a bug only with water
Ok the only reason people will use this is to get cooled off or let the kiddos run around and expend some energy. This won’t be popular n a year or so it’s neat but not lasting power.
Can’t believe it takes Disney so long to complete projects that end up being lackluster anyways. Whilst Universal is building very possibly one of the best theme parks on the Planet in record time
Anyone else see the irony on an exhibit that preaches water conservation while spraying and wasting water all over the place?🤔😅
I was thinking more a breeding ground for Legionaires Disease...
Tme to hire some new Imagineers?
What a huge waste of space at Epcot
I agree with many commenters... this is a nice looking area and all, but it's absolutely ridiculous it look this long to complete the area, that doesn't even have a ride. Disney, Universal is building entire new parks... step up your game, or get left in the dust.
The music is cool, but it is WAAAYYY too LOUD. It takes away from the serenity of the sound of the water. I also think the piped-in bird noises are unrealistically too much. They need to soften the music and reduce the birds. The focus should be on the water not the music and the birds. What happens is that it looks and sounds like the entrance to a Disney Resort.
This is what took forever to build? Seems like such a wasted opportunity for a moana ride or something else. Way to go Disney 👍🏽🙄
Looks like all the available construction workers were (and are) busy up the road at epic universe. If the parks are the only money makers for Disney, and the profits are siphoned off to pay debts in other areas, I don’t think as long as money coming in for parks that they (and other things that stem from them) will materially change.
No way Epic Universe can compete with this!
🤣🤪
😂
Nice looking feature. Absolutely inexcusable how long it’s taken to get anything finished in Epcot. They can move if they’re building DVC, but the pace of construction in the parks is pitiful.
They don't call it "Wallcot" for nothing. But I agree, they really need to stop taking on too many construction projects at once.
DVC generates direct revenue. Attractions are passive revenue. It's no mystery why the former gets built faster.
Wow, it's a Moana line to nowhere.
Or a DVC Resort entrance.
😂
Well at least Moan’s water attraction fits with the original vision of EPCOT unlike Guardians of the Galaxy.
at least guardians is fun
@@ogrewlayers Actually, I don't think this attraction, along with Guardians of the Galaxy and Frozen Ever After belong at EPCOT.
And we waited over 6 years for this? Wouldn't be surprised if Disney stock drops to 50 dollars. How did this happen to the most creative company in the world?
To hype a bit of landscaping and some nice fountains / splash pad as an ‘attraction’ is an embarrassment to Disney. It’s almost as embarrassing as how long it took to build. Sad, they are giving Comcast such an easy run to 2025.
This would be a nice addition to Animal Kingdom, at Epcot it just seems a complete waste of real estate. Doesn't fit.
What does this have to do with animal kingdom?
I think we’re well past the point of future world having any thematic cohesion. The Disney that would worry about those sort of details is long gone. Now it’s all IP.
Wasn’t Epcot founded on learning and conservation? Seems like an acceptable fit at Epcot
@@jakedlp_ What does this have to do with Epcot? A park about the future, technology and communication.
@@HighTide_808 conservation! Animal
Kingdom? Not exactly Wonders of Life is it?
Hands up who would rather have had a Beauty and the Beast ride instead like at Tokyo Disneyland?🙋♀️
At Epcot 🤔 I'm going to keep my hand down for that
This is a nice queue to a ride that doesnt exist. Disney can do better.
This will really stick it to universals epic universe 😂
This isn't right for Epcot and I'm missing the WDW I once loved.
it's educational entertainment, which is what Epcot was originally dedicated to. It fits perfectly.
I just think the look and feel isn't right for Epcot. That's just way I feel.
Need less concrete and majority of what is left in this portion of the park is snack stands and dated rides. This is fine near the land. Just need a lot more work in this portion of the park either way.
I'm glad you like it. If it makes people happy I'm good. It's just not for me. @@matthewnelson5699
I'm sure of Tom staggs still in charge of the parks, this would be just the cue for a ride 😂😭
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful!. Its amazing how much landscaping they did, this was just a dirt pit a couple of years ago. Obviously a walk through attraction that features reading and stimulates thinking about our environment won't be for everyone.
Frankly, I think it just looks cheap. Perhaps it would have been better off at Animal Kingdom.
As someone who walked through this attraction today, it does fit the area in a way. Moana is based around Islander culture and New Zealand, which happens to be next to Australia (Nemo), and is inside of the land called World Nature, a nice combination of the land and the seas. For those who think that it looks boring or plain, that's because it isn't necessarily for you. Small children don't have a lot of entertainment in Epcot other than the seas area and a small playground behind connections, so this gives them a place to play, as well as being a nice chill place off of the main path for people to wander round if they need a break from the crowds and world showcase areas. I agree that Epcot needs more to do, but that kind of stuff would be good for the world showcase side of the park. This is a nice chill spot for families to go. My only nitpick would be that they keep hinting towards a moana area that would replace Dinoland, and in that case, it seems a bit excessive to have that much moana in the parks.
I'm glad because some people aren't into thril rides and this might be perfect for them
@@krisrhood2127 epcot only has 2 "thrill" rides. the rest is family entertainment
Sorry, but I'm still underwhelmed. The queue line for Winnie the Pooh looks more interesting than this.
This is not going to be "Chill" when it first opens, it will be very crowded. The best way to escape the crowds at Epcot is to leave Epcot and go to your hotel.
If there isn't a lot for small children to do, maybe they should have kept Innoventions.
I just absolutely love this attraction!! Would love to see this in person because I love the water!!
I guess it’s a beautiful pathway to get to Soarin
really liked the random cut into the bathroom. Caught me totally off guard
What the hell did I just watch?
After seeing this, I can't wait for Epic Universe to put Disney out of Business.
I almost pass out last summer in Epcot, hope this helps next time lol
Weird that it says "DON'T DRINK THE WATER" but it's spraying all over your body
bleh, looks like stuff from animal kingdom should be a que that leads to a ride except thats it.
COOL! They built Pandora with no rides in Epcot!
Looks so lackluster, like everything Disney does lately. This is like a kids area by the pool of a mid-level Hilton resort.
So uh...when's Epic Universe opening?
Why is the ‘rope’ which ties all the poles and stuff together not just rope like it is in every water park and everywhere else but instead moulded plastic? It looks so cheap but I cannot imagine saved much, if any, money
Pandora with a different soundtrack. I can't believe this isn't at the Animal Kingdom instead.
Lol all these comments saying this should be in animal kingdom but the description of Epcot is literally "World Discovery: Explore the Wonders of SCIENCE AND technology". It fits perfectly fine in EPCOT... isn't Nemo also in EPCOT? 😂 There is a "Seas" section of the park there Like why are some people so upset. Now, it could definitely fit as well with the nature theme of animal kingdom of course but I think EPCOT could use some more attractions to spread out the big lines. I'm sure Disney has a plan to build more attractions near this Moana one that'll connect to the new play pavilion
AK’s main message is conservation and so is Moana’s so it SHOULD BE at AK
@@FLgurl100moana movie main message is not conservation
The movie was incredible, only being surpassed by the ride. I was amazed at the cutting edge special effects. I truly can't wait for the disney hierarchy to be fired.
Meh! Kind of underwhelming
Could have totally stayed on EPCOT theme with a futuristic version of water incorporating history, importance and conservation. Instead, we are thrown backwards into yet another Animal Kingdom themed version of thousand year old rock formations, easy and unimaginative tropical themes mixed in with a movie. Nice interactives, but not a huge imaginative reach from any norm. Standardly pretty, but misplaced and disappointing to the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow…
They should have done a ride instead!
The main thing holding it back for me is you guessed it the IP shoehorned in.
It's nice that it's educational, feels very classic-Epcot in that aspect. Could’ve been a lot worse. It's not the worst thing Imagineering has cooked up, it's not the best, it's just pretty harmless. I don't remember what used to be in this area of Epcot, so it's no loss to me. The parks need more attractions that aren’t rides so I think it’s okay.
I just hope this is the extent of what they do with shoehorning this IP into places, I'm not a huge fan of replacing all of Dinoland USA at Animal Kingdom with Moana, only because it doesn't fit the theme of the park. Same goes for Zootopia- that's a movie about human problems, it's only "animal" on the surface.
I agree fits classic EPCOT attractions. I feel it pairs well with The Seas and The Land.
Epcot doesn't have enough rides, if anything they need more rides not water fountains.
Wasn’t this the former pin trading area? Bueller? Bueller ? ;). Anyway, the area that was sort of tented?
I dont hate it, but its definitely out of place. Also it presents itself as an elaborate queing area similar to peter pan, haunted mansion, or BTMRR. I also don't like how almost every single person in this video had a cell phone in hand.
It's not open to the general public; it's still in previews. I suspect almost everyone there was recording for vlogs.
@@CharleneCTXand those same Vloggers were drinking their pickle milkshakes
As people use this attraction to wait for their restaurant reservations, you will continue to see the phones in hand.
Looks more fitting for Animal Kingdom, but I can also see the connection to Living With The Land conservation message. Better than the gardens they just unveiled.
This would be cool as an outdoor lazy river boat ride.
It would make more sense in AK
Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow and Moana ???? IDK 🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing. Disappointed and unimpressed.
Has Bob Iger gone yet?
It’s pretty - but a bit underwhelming for a Disney theme park?
Is it a closed path with only one entry and exit point? Or can you walk through it to get to other areas in EPCOT?
No
Who are they kidding? This is going to last about as long as the AAs in Rise of the Resistance before half of it breaks down and doesn't get fixed.
my daughter was crying after wanting to know if we were near the "ride" yet
Do you HAVE TO cut thru this to get to world showcase now ?
Wouldn’t this have made more sense in animal kingdom and with an avatar theming?
Almost no hype was from Disney. They of course mentioned it and offered it but news outlets cover it and build extra hype themselves because they need clicks. Truth is that there just isnt much to look forward to in news so this gets unnecessary ridicule for being hyped.
This would have been so cool as a water ride. I feel that would have been a great, more immersive way to teach kids about the water cycle and the importance of conservation. Maybe that’s coming in the future and this will be the waiting line for it. Still nice though.
Looks like something at seaworld.
I realize that this is supposed to be a walk through attraction, but the idea that it took at least half a decade to construct is a bit ridiculous to me. And I found the walkthrough attractions for the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail and the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Animal Kingdom, along with the Villains Grove at Disney's California Adventure more interesting to experience.
I don’t think it’s really fair to point to the amount of time when the world shut down in the middle. Things got put on the back burner.
@@MrElephantBeach This is a walk through attraction we're talking about, not the Tron roller coaster. They managed to complete Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind last year.
Imagine if they added something like this to Pandora at AK to help round out the land, that would be chill imo
I think this looks very nice and my daughter will be happy to have something to go through when visiting Epcot which generally isn't the best for her.
this is in future world? that’s very confusing
It's in World of Nature
@@joebinienda5283 what’s that? where’s that?
@@ItsAutoMatixx EPCOT
@@ItsAutoMatixxit’s no longer world show/Future world. I believe this was announced about 1 year ago maybe?
It’s broken into 4 “neighborhoods”
World Celebration.
World Discovery.
World Nature.
World Showcase.
It’s a great queue. Now where’s the attraction?
Nice fountain
So, a bunch of funky dirty (or soon to be) fountains, but didn't give the bathroom a bidet?
Christmas lights and decorations at night would make it be a great feature for a non-ticketed attraction for those coming to Epcot during the holiday season.
Okay, I have read a lot of the comments in the section and just about everybody thinks this attraction should be at animal I personally think it should be at a waterpark. Is there going to be some kind of a ride or is this all there is?
Walk through attractions are the future to Disney-Anonymous Disney Fan of spontaneous anonymous
Everyone complains that Epcot is losing its education aspect.. disney then makes a walkthrough educational trail and you all complain. None of you are EVER happy. The largest indoor roller coaster in the world opened just over a Year ago in that park, y’all are insane
It’s time to transfer Zach to a call center, or perhaps a DVC Kiosk.
who approved this? this should have been the queue for a ride
Did you know that magic band+ light up
They totally should’ve put this in animal kingdom instead of Epcot
Why are people confused about this being in the world nature section at Epcot? To me that’s where it belongs. Especially considering Nemo “underwater” ride is right nearby
Wow, what a group on this channel…waiting for Tom to say sarcastic things about it. Normally I feel the same way, but this a beautiful attraction. Imagineering did a nice job. It brings a cooling oasis to the hot Florida summer. Everything doesn’t need to be a thrill ride.
It’s a nice area. I don’t dislike it. But it should not have taken 5 years.
… and it should be in AK, so there’s that …
@@FLgurl100 truth. Especially hearing the music. Just gives off AK vibes. 🤷🏻♂️
How many more L's can Disney take?
Water isn’t Wet
Edge lord username
It's amazing but, why is it not at Animal Kingdom? That's where it belongs, right?
This is pretty and small children love to play with water. The parents will enjoy a space for the kids to explore and for everyone to cool off on hot days. Other than that, they spent an awful lot of time and money for an experience that will be one and done for most adults.
