Club Cool Details & Info.
Club Cool at Epcot officially opened today, 11-18-05. This was two days later than what had been internally annouced.
The entrance to the attraction is still from the outside. The entrance is still in the same place although the igloo is gone, so you enter directly into the building, no more ice tunnel. The entrance is a simple set of automatic glass doors there is a sign a few feet in front of the doors; make sure you look for the sign, it is pretty large, but you would otherwise not know where the entrance is.
The entrance takes you directly into the drink sampling area. The sample stations are set up in large cylindrical stations with the dispensers built into them evenly spaced around the surface. The cups are dispensed from dispensers built into the surface and are spaced in between the soda dispensers. The sample cups currently are nothing unique to the attraction they look like a standard paper cup with teal and purple swirl design. The overall décor of the new area, is not really very “dance club” like. The area is reasonably bright, but does blend well with the Innoventions/Future World theme. I would describe the area as contemporary with a 60’s twist. There are pylon-like tables for guests to mingle about while they are enjoying their samples (I think this is different from Ice Station Cool, but I could be mistaken).
All of the sample flavors from Ice Station Cool are still present for a total of 6 flavors. A new feature of the sample stations is that the machines are calibrated to fill the cup with a single push.
There is a large amount of Coca-Cola merchandise available for sale. Currently available are a variety of t-shirts, Coke bottle banks, “Coca-Cola” Santa merchandise, signs, backpacks and even more. The rumors of being able to purchase the international drinks though has been proven to be inaccurate, no such feature exists; however there are two new beverage related keepsakes that can be purchased at this new attraction. First there is the "Style-My-Coke” station. Guests can label their own coke bottles with the aid of a small machine. Guests purchase a coke bottle and select one of 8 wrap designs; the machine then coats the bottle with the wrap. The other and slightly more significant souvenir purchasing opportunity is a Build-a-Cup Frozen Coke station. This station employs the same cups at those used for the Goofy Glaciers at Goofy’s Candy Co. Guests pick a top and a base for their cup in the design of Goofy, Mickey, Minnie or Stich. Each design has it’s own unique top and base. Guests then have the option of filling the cup with either a classic frozen coke or frozen fanta blue raspberry.
The overall physical changes to the building don’t seem all that significant. The main difference is the demolition of the ice tunnel, which served as a cool segway from the hot Florida sun to the sample stations. The area does look new and fresh, the floor seems to be totally replaced. The interior décor while different, doesn’t seem all that drastic of a change and will most likely seem somewhat familiar to those who remember the previous set up from the previous tenant of the area.

Glad to hear it has reopened. I'll miss the ice tunnel. I've got a great pic of my nephew helping a CM shovel snow. It was just such a neat idea.
One thing you didn't address ... do they still have the Beverly?

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Maybe another $$$-saving measure. They seem to have cut back on air-conditioning; attractions are a lot warmer inside than they used to be.
The snow machine rarely worked lately, anyway.

So these stations dispense a healthy dose of sarcasm along with your drink? Must be another people personality prototype.

Well once again, let down by Disney. Another great idea (Ice Tunnel) killed by the almighty business man.

I walked through it on the 18th and it was nice and bright as mentioned (but no tunnel)
frankly paying 8.50 for a cup that I put feet and a head on seems awfully extreme to me but perhaps not to others.
The beverly was still there but they didn't have one of the flavours (mozombique I think) in any of the dispensers that day.
It does fill your cup which seems a waste if you don't want the whole thing but is likely to create less mess in the long run.

Build-a-cup?
Does anyone know if you bought a Build-a-cup at Goofy's Candy Co. if you can refill it at Ice Station Cool or the other way around? We plan to get it on our first day to DTD and was wondering if we can bring it to Epcot to use also. TIA!

At best, I would imagine they would let you refill it for $4.00.
Goofy's Candy Co. charges $2 for re-fills, but Club Cool doesn't advertise a similar policy so they may simply charge you the price for a standard cup.
