I'm assuming this since they say it's Swolphin and mention the Epcot station as archival imagery then it must be the one that's kind of hidden near Fantasia Gardens. I've been at Fantasia Gardens when that one has gone out - Swolphin blacks out (save for emergency light) and Fantasia Gardens goes black and the CM's have to come rescue you with flashlights as it's pitch black, even the streetlights in the area go out.
