Construction walls went up around Fountain View at EPCOT back in September just days after it had closed. Since then, demolition in the area led to the complete removal of the Fountain of Nations, and it seems work is now moving on to Fountain View, the former Starbucks location for the park.
We noticed the location’s torn up facade earlier in the day as we were lined up at Pin Central.
You can see right into the now-gutted building, with just pillars holding up what’s left of its circular roof.
The gutted building is quite jarring even from afar, a view that is only bound to get more intense as demolition continues on Innoventions West.
Over on the left-hand side of the building, you can see that parts of the circular roof have started to be dismantled and demolished as well, leaving just broken hanging panels of the Innoventions West building.
Thankfully, Fountain View should be returning in the near future, with a temporary Starbucks set up in the meantime to hold over coffee lovers. (In the meantime, they’ll just have to make do with Joffrey’s.) This entire area of Future World is slated to become a part of the new World Celebration neighborhood once the transformation of EPCOT is complete.
