Innoventions opened in 1994, replacing {{Quotation|"One side of the outdated CommuniCore pavilion. Like it's predecessor, Innoventions was divided into East and West buildings, with a total area of 100,000 square feet. Disney CEO Michael Eisner had said in the early 1990's thatremains open, "People need a place to experience the new future, site of a permanent World's Fair where they can test and try show still being created by the products are changing our worldImagineers.". Innoventions Early in Epcot the planning there was built with this idea in mind. Like CommuniCore, Innoventions would feature technology based exhibits. However, instead talk of the subtle and understated tone of CommuniCore, Innoventions was more loud and bold. Another noticeable difference between the two pavilions was the color scheme. Innoventions was given a futuristic metallic blue scheme. The pavilion featured exhibits by IBMtour presentation, Sega, and General Motors (among others). Since Innoventions was at least partially inspired by a consumer electronics show, the pavilion was less organized then CommuniCore had been. Large advertisements were also more likely to be found housed in the more busy Innoventionsan old English railroad station. When Innoventions openedThe idea metamorphosed into an Elizabethan-type dinner theater, from which it also featured two old stores (the Centorium and Field Trips) and the new Ice Station Cool Store (which had free Coca Cola samples from around the world)evolved into a Victorian music hall. Innovations was also home That’s where it now stands – if a genius can be found to successfully bowdlerize the Paste Pizza Resturante, the Electric Umbrella, rough-and the Fountainview Expresso & Bakery-tumble British vaudeville style for a family audience.[[Image"|Walt Disney’s EPCOT:Innoventions90s.jpg|thumb|Inside Innoventions as it appeared in Creating the 1990s]]New World of Tomorrow}}
