Imagination! Pavilion Closed at EPCOT As Broken Pipe Sprays Water From Roof

Guests visiting the Imagination! Pavilion at EPCOT on Tuesday morning were met with an unusual sight involving water… and it wasn’t the Jumping Fountains.

A pipe on the roof of the pavilion broke, sending water streaming into the sky.

The water flowed down the side of the building, past the edge of the glass pyramids, before draining out into the walkway.

Shortly after, Cast Members stood in front of the pavilion to tell guests it was closed due to technical difficulties.

Several minutes later, the water wasn’t visibly spouting anymore, suggesting that it may have been shut off for repairs. As of the writing of this article, it’s unclear how long it will take to fix the issue and reopen the pavilion.

  1. If the water damaged the Eric Idle portions of the ride, can they use the insurance money to restore the original versions of the ride?
