Model Arrives On Site, Spiral Installed at Journey of Water Inspired by Moana in EPCOT

Discounts:

Journey of Water Inspired by “Moana” continues to sail towards completion at EPCOT, with two new important facets now on site at the future walkthrough attraction.

Just steps from Spaceship Earth and The Seas with Nemo and Friends, a model of the attraction is now visible on the construction site.

It’s currently on a set of scaffolding, easily accessible to construction workers.

Nearby, one of Moana’s spirals was being installed. We got a look at one of the other spirals already visible in a preview from Imagineer Zach Riddley at the end of August.

Meanwhile, the model shows how the rockwork should look once completed. The color scheme will be a weathered gradient of light brown and gray.

Days ago, we managed to spot Kakamora being formed into the rockwork, so there may be trouble afoot when guests walk through the attraction.

Below, concept art shows how the whole walkthrough should appear once it’s finished.
