It's not just you getting older. The parks are predatory and there's no vision. There's also the wider problem of modern sentiment being so bleak. Nothing compares to the post-Soviet space age where everyone had great optimism for the future and was enraptured by science and technology.

That's me at 24:56! Even in its weaker final state as it tapered off into nothing, Innoventions was an area I held very close to my heart. I was there all day on closing day, not wanting to believe time had finally caught up with it. You put together an excellent retrospective here 💜

I did my College Program in 2009 at Innoventions. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I clicked. I helped open up the T Rowe Price exhibit, The Great Piggy Bank Adventure, that year, and was absolutely heart broken when I wasn’t selected to open “Sum of All Thrills.” That form of Innoventions is frozen in my memories. So thanks for the trip down memory lane.😊

innoventions was in such a sad state for a while so i wont necessarily miss it, but it makes me so mad that they did absolutely nothing to make a new and interesting space. the thing i will miss most about epcot before the recent renovations is the innoventions music as you walk by, and i much prefer the colorful and kinda wacky buildings as opposed to the sleek apple store-esque new look. also its so funny you posted this video when you did. ive been thinking about innoventions and mid 00s-early 10s epcot a lot recently and just so happened to search for a video on innoventions today and here this was

If there's one thing I miss about Innoventions it's the vibe/ energy of the plaza with the neon, fiber optics, palm trees and of course the fountain. The current plaza feels so dead now. It's nice to sit there in the morning but that's basically it. Also removing the old music is a travesty.

In the mid 90s, as a teen, at Innoventions West there was a guitar game that I loved. It had to be the inspiration for what became Guitar Hero. There were three songs to choose from, and they were based on difficulty. Kickstart My Heart was the hardest. Hey Jealousy was the mid level. I can't remember what the easy selection was. Does anyone else remember this exhibit?

Sum of all thrills was actually really cool but the extremely low capacity sealed its fate. Now the problem is there are far too many people out there who will not criticize Disney under any circumstances. I guess they don’t realize that if you love Disney you have to be willing to call them out for the failures and the obvious disregard for what used to be the high standards that made the “Disney Difference” The fact is Disney is in real danger of irreparable damage. Universal has made them look more like six flags than Disney. I have real concerns about the future plans for the parks as a result of the disaster that is the Epcot refurb. 🤷🏻

I agree with the point that smaller attractions should be there to balance out the bigger ones. I was in Epcot years ago and got dehydrated. I felt like I couldn't really stomach a ride like test track, so I went into innoventions instead. Was it the greatest thing ever? No. But having guests who aren't on big rides be forced into bland building 432, another gift shop, or sitting on a bench in the heat is certainly worse.

Epcot in the 80s and 90s were epic. Sadly I feel Epcot really lost its identity and more and more feels like just another theme park. Still have some cool things like world showcase but even that area feels less unique now. I really wish they would have kept Epcot different from everything else but alas it's not.

A lot of this really kinda sums up a lot of Disney's them parks nowadays and then some. More so when it comes to lack of actual originality and character in the theme parks. Mostly originality in the attractions. And that's been more and more inexcusable for a company that keeps on being more and more needlessly greedy and so anticonsumer when it comes to these parks.

I first visited EPCOT in the late 90s, so I only ever experienced that area as Innoventions. I was not impressed with the area at all, spent very little time there, and mostly avoided it during my subsequent visits. That said, it does look like Disney found a way to take an area that offered little to guests and make it offer nothing at all. It boggles my mind that the same people who created the amazing Pandora area in Animal Kingdom have produced such a drab and dreary revamp of this part of EPCOT.

Sitting here trying to work out a way to explain the lack of Attraction I’ve had to innoventions as an international tourist…… You’re on the dream Holiday you’re in the park .Surround by rides characters lights smell sounds and that certain Disney feel. When I walked into the building (DL CA) and checked out the iron man expo and the house of the future. Meanwhile I can hear muffled sounds of Tomorrowland. I looked around and saw black walls artificiall light and displays that I could see at a trade show of children’s museum. I felt like I was wasting the short therefore valuable time walking around what felt like a concept expo at at a state fair EDIT For anyone that’s also in Melbourne Australia and never saw innoventions. It’s just the government building at the royal Melbourne show
