Area UpdateOct 8, 2020#

Demolition was underway on the northwest section of Innoventions West, the building that had housed the exhibit, clearing ground for Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.

The source documents the demolition and the planned Moana attraction but does not identify which former exhibit spaces stood in the section being torn down. The rest of the Innoventions West footprint later became CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza.

Refurbishment2015#

The Great Piggy Bank Adventure closed permanently in 2015 after about six years of operation and never reopened.

Sources conflict on the final day. Attractions Magazine (March 24, 2015) reported a scheduled last day of April 29, 2015 with Innoventions West closing April 30; Wikipedia's Innoventions (Epcot) article states May 19, 2015 for both the exhibit and Innoventions West, without a citation and matching the opening date exactly six years earlier. Year-level precision is the corroborated floor; no day is asserted.
