Epcot Update: Celebrating 35 Years of Amazing Discoveries (Part 1)

On October 1, Epcot celebrated its 35th year of operation with a special celebration, background music that played when the park first opened, unique merchandise, and a magnificent fireworks finale. While everything in the park has gone back to normal, there's a lot we can look forward to.
In addition to the two new rides currently being built (the new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster and the Ratatouille-themed dark ride), many areas of the park will look very different in the future.


Let'a take a look around the park to see if we can spot something new:

Both Innoventions buildings should be gone by 2021:

The mural by the entrance of the former Universe of Energy is now gone:

Sadly, the former Wonders of Life pavilion might not get a new attraction anytime soon...

It's so sad to see such a large space being used as a merchandise location:

We have to admit that we enjoy the new Mission: SPACE mission:

Test Track's canopy has not returned yet. It was removed last month due to the hurricane:

Sadly, that's not the case. The ride was down due to technical difficulties:
