Thank you for liking my view but maybe you haven't seen the global news. Germany plans to have no gas vehicles (expect the ones already made) on the roads by 2030....so much for oil running the world. I agree car manufacturers run a lot of things but some of that is because we don't great inter and intra-city transportation because the auto makers are afraid to give up control. In Europe, they have great inter- and intra-city transportation with trains, subways and vehicle tax in cities to limit vehicles in the city and force people to use more public transportation. I agree that I don't see that happening here.
This is part of what Future World is all about! What are the conflicts, problems and issues in the world today and what are some of the imaginative solutions that the creative minds behind the Mouse can, well.....imagine. Travel, People Movers, Rides....small ways to quickly move from one place to another that have possibilities of changing the world......
And of course, not just moving people. How to grow fruits and veggies, new inventive ways to raise fish (or what ever it's called), energy saving concepts, and the big one- taking waste land and turning it into a park(s). etc, etc, etc. Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I would rather look for the good. A speck of light in the darkness. Our worldview should come from how do we make it better? Even if others are making it worse? I think that is one of the ideas of EPCOT.

Again.....I absolutely agree, Missy. Maybe you should design the new Future World...lol

Missy, I also absolutely agree that the Land needs to be improved on with your views, this was a great ride/idea when it was new, but they now need to show it working.
I tried Hydroponics this year for the first time, I got the instructions after taking the behind the seeds tour.
Well, I believe I figured out why the plants died, In other words it didn't work, but wait until next year.

My wife and I are going to try greenhouse and hydroponics next year so any hints are appreciated

Rich, will find the hydroponic sheet take a picture and send it to you in messages.
A new building is going up behind the old Universe of Energy building, is this the Guardians of the Galaxy? I thought it would have stayed inside the foot print of the Energy Building but this is behind it.

You are correct. This is the show building for The Guardians of the Galaxy ride. The ride is WAY TOO BIG to be entirely within the foot print of the Energy Building. The old Energy building will where the queue line and loading / unloading takes place. Imagine The Guardians of the Galaxy ride similar to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith in that front building is for the pre-show, loading and unloading. Then there is a connector building (when the limo accelerates quickly) that connects the pre-show building to the show building (where the ride is actually located). The Guardians of the Galaxy ride is very similar.
To see and maybe understand more (in case I didn't explain it correctly) check out the Guardians of the Galaxy thread (http://disneyquestionsfans.freeforums.net/thread/50/guardians-galaxy?page=2)
I’m really glad to see the changes. We should look at EPCOT and marvel at the future. We should wonder if the inventions we see there, will ever come true. I think a great “resort” idea would be a biodome for people who are staying a week or longer to call home. Just build in several entry doors in a tube entrance. You know, to keep the world out.
