EPCOT is getting some fantastic new rides, a new fireworks show, and so much more as part of the big EPCOT Transformation!

And on TOP of all of that, EPCOT is also getting a beautiful new entrance fountain with fantastic, clear pylons! We’ve seen a bit of the pylons from the sky and the ground, and we even spotted them on the EPCOT map, but they’ve been mostly covered up with some construction walls…until today!

The walls around the fountain are GONE and we’ve finally gotten the chance to see the new fountain in all its glory (and it is glorious)!

When we entered EPCOT today and made our way through the entrance and over toward Spaceship Earth, we saw that the construction walls were down near the new fountain, and we were met by the beautiful sight of these gorgeous, clear pylons and a full look at the fountain!

Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley has previously explained that the design team “took special interest in looking back to the original geometry for inspiration and infusing new features with a little bit of added magic to bridge the past, present and future of EPCOT.”

Here’s a look at this beauty in action!

The fountain is also set to have a spectacular new lighting package that will join the new lighting coming to Spaceship Earth. So, we’ll definitely be back to see it at night to check that out! As a sneak peek, Disney Parks Blog shared some photos of the fountain at night!

Look at the pylons all lit up!

But, for now, enjoy the beauty of this fabulous new fountain during the daytime! The sunlight and clouds gorgeously reflect off of the pylons, giving them a really great look.

They’re modern but still have that retro feel, and are a beautiful new addition to the entrance of this park.

The fountain joins other completed aspects of the EPCOT transformation like the new film in the Canada Pavilion and the new film in the Land Pavilion. Still to come is the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster, Ratatouille attraction, and many other new areas for everyone to enjoy!

We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more news on the EPCOT transformation and let you know what we find. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!
