Behind-the-Scenes Video Captures Installation of EPCOT’s New Pylons

Earlier this week we shared images of the new pylons installed at EPCOT’s main entrance fountain. Today, Zach Riddley, Walt Disney World Site Portfolio Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes video capturing the new pylons installation.

Zach shares: “Earlier this week I shared a first-look of the installation of our new EPCOT fountain pylons. It’s been amazing to see everyone’s reactions – and we’re excited to reveal the completed project later this year. Today I’m proud to share this behind-the-scenes video capturing the installation process as it happened. These three acrylic pylons, each standing over 16 feet tall and weighing more than 4,000 pounds, were digitally modeled then milled and polished using state-of-the-art technology to achieve this perfect finish and amazing reflection effect. Our team of Imagineers orchestrated the delicate process of placing the pylons in their new home, where they will welcome generations of guests to this park filled with the magic of possibility, discovery and wonder.

Excellent work Imagineers! What do you think of the new pylons? We can’t wait to see the EPCOT reimagining unfold!
