Hard to describe a brand new EPCOT. Purple orange silver and everything smelled so NEW CAR. pure 80's goodness

[@sce2aux464]

I really really loved this place. Before the Dark Time... Before the Empire...

[@arrowguy173]

LOL nicely said - well at least before the suits and ties at EPCOT Center decided to let Future World go to hell by bringing in a Guardians coaster.... Man this park used to be my favorite. It was inspirational until the rebranding, stupid wand, and removal of Horizons. Now it's an anything goes park. :(

[@taylorshelton3267]

@@arrowguy173 I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@jimwright5117]

Back when a trip to EPCOT was like travelling into the future. Man, I was excited to grow up in a world of hovercars, space vacations, and hydrolators. Still waiting for all that to happen...

[@jayrogers8255]

I know! Some future we have at present. 😒

[@horizons1366]

I appreciated the same. Even if the specifics seemed far fetched, the passionate optimism in everything inspired me to this day. It’s been replaced with flash-in-the-pan here and now thrills with no lasting poignancy. It’s a hard thing to describe to people but, old Epcot aficionados would certainly understand where I’m coming from.

[@joeymasullo7566]

Back when it wasn't just a magic Kingdom left over wasteland and actually had a cohesive theme. Just sad how the parks future is heading

[@rilo5675]

amen

[@GuanRytheFantastic]

I've only been to Epcot one time; February 1987...and boy oh boy am I glad that's when I went

[@Mechasonicrocks]

Eh, Epcot was still good up until around 1996 (and I first visited in 1988). Once the OG “Journey Into Imagination” ride got changed to “Journey Into Your Imagination”, however, was when things went downhill; Just my opinion though.

[@BASykes1701]

Same. January 1993 for me.

[@horizons1366]

I really appreciate the optimistic vibe and feels of old Epcot music. . . especially in current times.

[@sxymike12]

If they have old school Epcot Center some TLC millennials would love this place. It was rising in popularity before the changes, why not build off of what it’s supposed to be rather fix what’s not broken.

[@michaeledwards8267]

37:31 New Horizons 1982-1999 Horizons 1994-2018 Innoventions RIP Horizons World of Motion Universe of Engery and Wonders of life We still Miss you

[@Grakees]

I know this comment was a while ago, but one thing that gives me hope, is how they plan to change Test Track to combine parts of that World of Motion aspect into the beginning of the ride then transition to the "thrill" track part at the end. A best of both worlds - something truly EPCOT.

[@sakemp3480]

Memories are everlasting and this music of the Epcot of old just harkens for the days of the past for those of us who will never forget those happier times.

[@Crickeyy]

I wasn't alive in the golden age of EPCOT but it would be so awesome to walk around old EPCOT. I can't imagine what it felt like.

[@ridetrackx]

amazing....... it felt amazing. take that one "kid moment" growing up, where you where exposed to something brand new and so mind-blowing that you would happily obsessed over it for a long long time. That was 80s-90s Epcot, but at every single attraction, every time you visited.

[@Crickeyy]

@@ridetrackx Thats how I felt with newer epcot and to think of older epcot with those same emotions. Wow

[@BASykes1701]

​@@ridetrackxno lies detected. I'm so grateful for the one trip to Disney World I had as a kid in 1993. EPCOT Center was a big part of it, and I'll never forget it, especially Horizons... that was something special.

[@scottsenn7026]

It felt like you were a citizen of a futuristic city of hope and wonder. At least for a day, your problems were not so prevalent and you could embrace the idea that “If we can dream it, we can do it” and “ Tomorrow’s horizons are here, today”. It was a tangible fantasy. I really miss it. Horizon’s most of all.

[@Crickeyy]

@@scottsenn7026 Thats amazing, thanks for writing that comment

[@Stere0cast]

Thank you very much for a fresh mix. I would give anything to go back there again, when it was a grand inspiration.

[@macromagic2166]

You're welcome! Epcot was/is one of the best parks musically.

[@Stere0cast]

I listen to Epcot music all the time when I'm delivering mail on my route, will definitely have this on loop tomorrow.

[@dude2499]

Not gonna lie. If time travel ever becomes a thing, I’m going back to check this out. I want that peek into the past.

[@agustinn2231]

let's go together, I def gotta check out Wonders of Life

[@ridetrackx]

@@agustinn2231 look up FUTUREPORT '82. an artist is recreating all of 80s Future World in a 3D game software. I walked through Wonders of Life in the game and it is perfect. You can even ride Body Wars.

[@sakemp3480]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful music with us it's just right medicine for all the unfortunate drama that has taken center stage in our everyday life.

[@michaelsinger7008]

I’ve went to Epcot in: 2008, 2012, 2016, And for my Graduation present in 2019. I wish I had realized I’d of wanted to be a architect and a automobile design. However I think my love of Test track and Walt’s Original Epcot plan (something I’ve always been keen on seeing made by someone like him.) Test track is my favorite ride at the track. I also love the futuristic architecture.

[@horizons1366]

43:48. I love the “responsible citizen” music.

[@daviddebergh254]

14:06 takes me back to when I was 8 and I’d try to step on all of the lights in the ground near spaceship earth…thank you so much 😭😢😭

[@christopherhamilton8298]

Anyone remember the robots in the old Communicore that would magically draw your face? Space age stuff when we were little. Made us dream.

[@boston550]

How can anyone give this music a thumbs down

[@kylehill3643]

The music pitch seems to be off that's why. I don't know if it's the way the uploader did it or the way the recording was at th etime.

[@gdawg1585]

EPCOT is being refurbished this year and next year there bringing the 80s fountain back

[@allkindsofmusic2275]

The entrance fountains pillars have already been installed, the fountain isn't quite finished yet but It will probably be done this year

[@awcdroid]

This comment did not age well.

[@jennifersanderson3652]

Please keep this in the KZbin music it is by far the BEST LOOP RECORDING I LISTEN TO!!! Thank you for making the magic

[@BASykes1701]

That Trombone Harmony at 44:18 ... hits you right in the feels. Big EPCOT Glory Days energy with that whole Communicore piece!

[@lindasolis7117]

Love this old EPCOT music; miss the old park so much. I have a request for anyone that knows this era: The first time I visited EPCOT, back in 1986 or so, there was this "out in the middle of nowhere" restroom that was located sort of between World of Motion and Horizons, but it was more to the center (I can see it on an old map-- not really in any designated area.) Anyway, every time we visited, they were playing the most awesome music there! Very dramatic and futuristic sounding, almost sci-fi adventure stuff. Any chance anyone here knows which music it was?

[@jeffsolinger5671]

Maybe it was “The oh pleasure” by Ray Lynch

[@lindasolis7117]

@@jeffsolinger5671 Actually, I went on a listening spree after this -- I think it was the soundtrack from "Body Wars!"

[@EXPOrator]

@@lindasolis7117 The idea of a bathroom with the soundtrack of Body Wars is insane, sounds like a fun time! Ahahah. Although Body Wars opened in 1989, so maybe you might be a little off in the dates.

[@lindasolis7117]

@@EXPOrator Maybe that was the year then? We went on Body Wars (I remember because I got sick LOL) I've been listening to some vintage Epcot background music, but haven't heard any with Body Wars! LOL

[@EXPOrator]

@@lindasolis7117 Body Wars was considered the "vomitorium" by staff members due to how sick people often got! So you definitely were part of the Classic Epcot experience, consider me a little jealous! Glad you can recall fun memories of ti!

IF you think colortopia was good you would be amazed by some of the stuff that used to be in Epcot

[@taylorshelton3267]

@@allkindsofmusic2275 you mean like horizons, or world of motion, or the upstairs area in the imagination pavilion that had a cool rainbow hall that led to a play area for kids. What I miss most about old epcot was the universe of energy ride with an awesome song at the end of the ride.

[@kristenholloway8057]

Only issue---- You have no pictures in here from the original Innoventions except for the Sonic statue. Back when Innoventions had the latest and greatest (like the only working DVD prototype outside of Toshiba's headquarters) and the original VR games (q-ball and dino eggs) along with the original computer games, Disney interactive, etc....

[@kylehill3643]

We are too late.

[@CallardAndBowser]

Ah yes ! Original Epcot of the 80's when it was at it's best before that Asshole CEO Michael Eisner destroyed all the rides. I'm sorry that billions of people will never know how good Vintage Epcot was. 🤓

[@Chrisfromtheglen]

How did you get the Communicore music?

[@macromagic2166]

The full official loop is floating around KZbin somewhere. Search something along the lines of “Epcot 35th anniversary communicore loop”

[@Chrisfromtheglen]

Macro Magic found it! Make it a habit of listening to old Park music in the parks. Makes the experience feel a little more authentic. The one I was missing was the Communicore and Energy loops. I guess Energy won't be a problem since it's gone :(
