On youtube, a poster has released film of EPCOT currently,with the demolition of Innivations and the beautiful fountain.

Doesn't confirm anything really.

Not all change is good but a fountain didn't draw guests to the park

I am looking forward to the changes I like the look of the concept art and as much as I like Epcot I find future world a bit dated and have said every time we visited since our first visit in 2007 that it could do with a makeover.

Me too. The Innoventions buildings have been mainly empty for ages anyway. I am glad they are finally getting on with the work.

I loved that fountain!
Used to love watching the water ‘dance’ to the music!

Although I will dearly miss Innovations and the Fountain of Nations, I welcome the changes coming to Epcot. Epcot needed to be updated like the other parks have been. It was getting seriously old and needed some new things added. It would've been nice if Disney could've incorporated the existing features into its plans but Disney wants to open up the (what was) Future World section of Epcot more, so I can understand why the changes are required.

Unfortunately, these things take time and it won't be finished overnight. Or even in the next 2 years or more. So what I won't like is visiting Epcot next August and walking around a building site. Ah well, been there and done that before.

Disney hasn't said. It won't be before 2021. Some of it might be completed before October 2021 (50th anniversary), I guess?

There was a big announcement about all the changes coming to Epcot at the last D23 Expo back in August. There was some info presented in this post (and others) here on the DIBB:

https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho... php?t=1143296

In addition there was this concept art of what Epcot will look like, which shows one side of Future World (as it was called) will now look far greener than it was:
