The Efcot Project
I've wanted to do this ever since I got the Efcot Center and monorail. After the Destination Springfield event, I could procrastinate no longer. I meant to put this up right after that event, but I got busy/distracted.
Info:
-I put this in the bottom right corner of my town. As more land opens up, I plan on extending it. It's a little crammed in some spots.
-I'm trying to replicate the actual Epcot Center, as opposed to making it more unique to the game/show. For example, I put the Italian Villa in Germany because it resembles the architecture in the Germany Pavilion in Epcot. I also chose the Mad Doctor's Castle for the castle background since that's Dr. Frankenstein's castle, who is German. Otherwise, I tried to put items that would generally belong in that country's pavilion.
-my inspiration went in the following order: memory, the app guide map, then pictures. I plan on decorating more as I get time.
-I edit my town every time I acquire something fitting.

If anyone has any helpful advice, constructive criticism, or questions, fire away.

Thank you. Just waiting for an eastward land expansion now to add a bit more.
As I mentioned in the OP, I'm modeling it after the actual Epcot. Every building/deco I put is meant to replicate the actual park. Since the real Epcot doesn't actually have futuristic buildings like that, I didn't include them.
Walt Disney's original design would have had similar buildings, but due to several reasons, it was made without many of them
Yeah, my lake is more squished than I want it to be, which makes the country pavilions smaller too. Just waiting for that eastern land expansion (or 2).
And that classic video....its making me want to cry. >w<
Thanks!
On the bright side, someone would have probably seen Walt's original vision of Epcot as offensive, and Disney would be removing it by now. Just like The Pirates of the Caribbean.
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, I've updated it here and there. Added things like Powell Motors near Test Track, random things from the Heist event, and that holiday space station for the new restaurant. Gonna have to redo the Universe of Energy area, Great Britain, France, and make room for whichever new country is coming (Brazil?). Gonna try to add the Magic Kingdom next it now after the I&S-land update. Gonna throw Praiseland in there too. Still kinda clueless on actual I&S-land/Krustyland and Duff Gardens.
PMed you.
