CommuniCore was a pavilion dedicated to technological advance located at EPCOT Center in Walt Disney World, Florida.[1] It occupied two semi-circular buildings behind Spaceship Earth at the center of Future World (today World Celebration). The two buildings were known as CommuniCore East and West and housed rotating exhibits. The pavilion was closed and redesigned in 1994, and the former CommuniCore buildings became the home of Innoventions, which closed permanently on September 7, 2019.[2]

Description

[edit]

CommuniCore was the hub of EPCOT Center, both geographically and conceptually, as it brought together nearly all of the ideas and concepts explored in Future World and complemented the experiences offered by other pavilions.[1] For example, the Energy Exchange was located in a sector of CommuniCore adjacent to the Universe of Energy, giving curious guests the opportunity to explore the concept of energy more comprehensively after exiting the pavilion.[3]

Having debuted at the dawn of the modern computer era, the emphasis throughout CommuniCore was primarily on educating the public about computers. The feature exhibit was a tour through EPCOT Computer Central, the computer hub of EPCOT Center that ran nearly everything throughout the park.[3][4] The original version was named the Astuter Computer Revue (featuring a song by the Sherman Brothers titled "The Computer Song"). It had the distinction of being the shortest-lived attraction at the park, lasting for under two years from the opening of CommuniCore in October 1982 to January 1984. The tour was updated and re-opened as Backstage Magic.[5]

In the southern quadrant of CommuniCore East one could shop at the Centorium, the largest merchandise location in EPCOT Center. The Stargate Restaurant in the northern quadrant of CommuniCore East and the Sunrise Terrace in the southern quadrant of CommuniCore West were open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Other exhibits inside CommuniCore East included Compute-A-Coaster, the Great American Census Quiz, Get Set Jet and the Flag Games, all featuring brand new touch-screen technology. Also featured were the TravelPort, and the Electronic Forum, where one could take the EPCOT Poll, an interactive census on popular issues.[6] One could also take a look at the Population Clock, a device that displayed the rough population of the United States and changed accordingly with every passing second. CommuniCore East was also the residence of SMRT-1, a friendly robot who used the latest in voice recognition technology to interact with Guests. At CommuniCore West was FutureCom, an exhibit sponsored by AT&T that forecast the advent of things like electronic commerce, Expo Robotics, and an educational resource center called, at various times, EPCOT Outreach, Ask Epcot, and the Epcot Discovery Center.[3]

Planned exhibits incorporated into the design of the buildings included a second floor, intended to house a PeopleMover system which would allow riders to preview the features and attractions within CommuniCore. The buildings were also designed so that they could easily be expanded outwards, facilitating easy additions to expand the exhibit capacity of the attraction as a whole.[1]

Closure

[edit]

In an effort to keep EPCOT updated and vital, CommuniCore was closed in January 1994 to be redesigned into Innoventions, a more eclectic, wild, and corporate-driven take on a Science and Technology pavilion. The Stargate Restaurant became the Electric Umbrella, and the Sunrise Terrace was divided into the Pasta Piazza Ristorante and Fountain View Espresso and Bakery.[2] In 2001, Pasta Piazza closed; the space sat vacant until 2006, when it was converted into the Epcot Character Connection (then later Epcot Character Spot). The Expo Robotics area became The Walt Disney Imagineering Labs (closed in October 1997). In June 1998, part of the former "lab" space became Ice Station Cool, which was redecorated and renamed Club Cool, a small Coca-Cola sponsored exhibit where one can try Coca-Cola products from around the world. In 1999, Centorium expanded and became MouseGear.

Even with the closure of CommuniCore, a few elements of the old attraction still remained untouched, with some remaining until Innoventions's closure in September 2019. For example, Innoventions West had a large section of the building unchanged from its CommuniCore days up until 2007. In the glass-walled hallway behind Pasta Piazza, the original large circular ceiling light fixtures, and the original carpet patterned by the CommuniCore logo were in the shape of the two buildings it housed. However, in May 2007 the carpeting and light fixtures were changed. Additionally, the original EXIT signs could be seen scattered throughout Innoventions.

SMRT-1, the robot that interacted with guests in CommuniCore East, was displayed in the Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary Resort near the Magic Kingdom until it was later sold after SMRT-1 suffered an accidental fall at the Steakhouse that caused minor damage.

In 2009, one of the attractions, Compute-A-Coaster, was resurrected conceptually with The Sum of All Thrills, which allowed guests to design their own roller coaster and then ride a simulation of their design in a KUKA arm-operated vehicle. It closed on September 14, 2016.

With the 2019 closure of Innoventions, there was a drastic re-imagining of Epcot's "Community Core", and only the East building survives. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in changes to the plans for West, a quadrant was rebuilt under the name CommuniCore Hall, the exhibition space and CommuniCore Plaza, the festival stage. These structures opened in June 2024.[7]

CommuniCore was a in the Future World section of EPCOT Center at Resort in , designed as an interactive showcase of , communications, and scientific innovations. Opened on October 1, 1982, alongside the park's debut, it comprised two large semi-circular buildings—CommuniCore East and CommuniCore West—positioned behind the geodesic sphere to form the central "" of the area. The emphasized hands-on and without traditional , featuring corporate-sponsored exhibits that highlighted advancements in , , , and . Key attractions included the Astuter Computer Revue in Computer Central, where visitors could interact with early personal computers and software demonstrations; Expo Robotics, showcasing automated performers like the SMRT-1 ; and the Fountain of Information in FutureCom, an network precursor to modern digital interfaces. CommuniCore also housed practical amenities such as the Centorium merchandise store—the park's largest at 13,000 square feet—the Stargate Restaurant for quick-service American fare, and the Sunrise Terrace for casual dining overlooking the plaza. Sponsored by companies including (for communications exhibits), Exxon (for energy displays), and Sperry (for computing areas), it spanned approximately 200,000 square feet and connected to other Future World pavilions via walkways and service tunnels. CommuniCore operated until January 30, 1994, when it closed for redevelopment amid evolving sponsorships and technological shifts, reopening later that year as Innoventions—a similar but updated pavilion focused on innovation that ran until September 7, 2019, as part of EPCOT's multi-year transformation. In June 2024, Disney revived the CommuniCore name for a new multipurpose venue in the park's World Celebration neighborhood, consisting of CommuniCore Hall (an indoor event space for character meet-and-greets, art, and culinary demos) and CommuniCore Plaza (an outdoor area with gardens, stages for live performances like ¡Celebración Encanto!, and food booths), explicitly honoring the original pavilion's role as a communal hub. This revival incorporates architectural nods to EPCOT's founding era, such as geodesic triangle facades, while adapting the concept for contemporary festivals and relaxation.

Original Pavilion (1982–1994)

Design and Layout

The original CommuniCore pavilion at featured a semi-circular , comprising two crescent-shaped structures known as CommuniCore East and West, positioned to flank the entrance of and encircle the central plaza of Future World. This configuration created a symbolic "core" at the heart of the park, emphasizing connectivity and community through its enveloping layout around the plaza, which included a central and separating the two buildings. Architecturally, the pavilion adopted a futuristic and modular style, with high ceilings engineered to support a proposed but unbuilt second-level WEDway PeopleMover loop running through interior corridors, and non-load-bearing glass exterior walls that allowed for straightforward expansion via wedge-shaped additions. The open, bright interiors incorporated floor-to-ceiling windows and chrome accents, fostering a sense of spaciousness and forward-looking innovation across exhibit halls, theaters, and interactive zones. The layout centered on East and West wings linked by a continuous central corridor and atrium-like spaces, spanning a total area of approximately 200,000 square feet.

The pavilion's two semi-circular buildings, East and West, facilitated daily operations aligned with EPCOT's typical hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., allowing visitors to engage with hands-on displays throughout the day. Staffed by cast members who managed exhibits and guest interactions, CommuniCore emphasized educational and exploratory experiences sponsored by corporations like Sperry , which provided the park's computing infrastructure. A key aspect of CommuniCore's operations was its integration of pioneering technologies that foreshadowed modern computing. In 1982, the exhibit introduced interfaces for vacation planning, enabling guests to browse options via interactive slides and early digital queries. Laser disc technology powered immersive video presentations in areas like the Information Fountain within FutureCom, delivering high-quality, interactive content on communication advancements. Networked computer systems, demonstrated through the and Computer Central, allowed real-time data sharing across the park, including coordination of and guest services. Visitor engagement was enhanced by innovations such as the park's first computer-based reservation system, managed via Sperry's central computers in Computer Central, which handled bookings for dining and accommodations to streamline operations. These systems contributed to high foot traffic in CommuniCore, serving as a mandatory pathway between Future World pavilions and drawing crowds eager to interact with emerging tech. Maintenance involved periodic exhibit refreshes to keep content current, with enhancements including video conferencing demonstrations in FutureCom, where guests could connect live with cast members via cameras and monitors, previewing concepts akin to early communication tools like fiber optic networks. These enhancements, including fiber optic displays mapping U.S. , ensured CommuniCore remained a forward-looking showcase of technological progress.

Closure and Legacy

Reasons for Closure

The original CommuniCore pavilion at closed on January 30, 1994, concluding over 11 years of operation since its opening in 1982. A primary factor in the closure was the rapid obsolescence of its technology-focused exhibits, many of which showcased 1980s-era computing, touch screens, and interactive systems that had become outdated by the mid-1990s. This technological lag was directly linked to the pavilion's early innovations in hands-on demonstrations, which initially positioned it as 's interactive core but failed to evolve with advancing consumer and corporate tech trends. The decision also reflected a strategic shift in EPCOT's overall direction under Disney's leadership in the , moving away from an emphasis on educational and futuristic demonstrations toward more entertainment-oriented and commercial experiences. Beginning in the early , original attractions were overhauled to prioritize edutainment infused with broader appeal, aligning with the park's rebranding from EPCOT Center to simply in 1994 to attract a wider through dynamic, sponsor-driven programming rather than conceptual tech education. This thematic realignment rendered CommuniCore's educational core increasingly misaligned with the evolving park identity.

Demolition and Site Reuse

Following the closure of CommuniCore on January 30, 1994, the site's structures were not immediately demolished but instead repurposed through an extensive retheming and renovation process. The east and west wings, which had housed interactive exhibits since EPCOT's 1982 opening, were updated with new technology displays and reopened as Innoventions East and Innoventions West on July 1, 1994. This reuse maintained the pavilion's central role in Future World, focusing on corporate-sponsored innovations while adapting to advancements in computing and multimedia. The Innoventions buildings served as EPCOT's technology hub for over two decades, hosting rotating exhibits from partners like , , and until their gradual phase-out beginning in 2015. Demolition of the original structures finally commenced in late 2019 as part of EPCOT's multi-year transformation project, with Innoventions West reduced to its steel framework by December 2019 and fully razed by early 2020. Innoventions East followed suit, with site clearing completed to ground level using heavy machinery for efficiency, avoiding implosions to minimize dust and noise in the operational park environment. Post-demolition, the east wing area was redeveloped into elements of World Celebration, EPCOT's refreshed central gardens and pathways that opened on December 5, 2023, while the west wing site was redeveloped into the Creations Shop, EPCOT's new flagship merchandise store in World Celebration. These changes supported broader park enhancements, including new landscaping and connectivity to adjacent pavilions like . This redevelopment honors the original CommuniCore's legacy as EPCOT's central communal space, with the 2024 opening of CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in the same neighborhood. Environmental efforts during the 2019-2020 demolition included phased work to limit guest disruption, with operations continuing nearby via temporary barriers and rerouted pathways. Although specific recycling metrics for materials like and aluminum were not publicly detailed, Disney's standard construction practices emphasized sustainable debris management across the project.
