An Imperfect Innoventions

As imperfect as it is (my photograph of the art and my editing to make it more true to life) and as imperfect in its upkeep with cutting edge technologies, Epcot's Innoventions was a place where the newest and brightest gadgets could be explored. replacing EPCOT Center's classic Communicore was a tough act to follow. 

In the early days, it was the place to go explore and try on technology with its hands on approach. A guest could easily blow an hour or so there. Like most things Epcot, it was left to rot, replaced by one exhibit after another, rarely gathering a crowd or even a devoted following. The Sum Of All Thrills, a build your own rollercoaster attraction by Raytheon may be the sole exception to this rule. 

You can't blame Zach Riddley and company from finally getting rid of the place and giving guests Moana's Journey of Water. But, oh my, the demolition of it all has created a mess!
