I never got to see these parks in their prime like this, This is what Disney is missing now in days, rides that challenge your mind, educate, get you thinking about the future and ideas. What we have now in days is corporate pandering that numbs the mind. I like test track just fine, and I liked it before it got the tron upgrade, before I didn't know a thing about cars. Disney, please bring back attractions that challenge the mind to bring a better future, just like Walt would have wanted.

@Trenacker7 жыл бұрын
Spinning Peanut is correct. EPCOT of the 1980s is significantly different from EPCOT of the 2010s. EPCOT traditionally emphasized edutainment over thrill rides. That trend is changing. Multiple pavilions that once offered scenic dark rides have closed or been replaced. Examples include Horizons, World of Motion, and the Wonders of Life pavilions. Originally, the only thrill ride in the park was Body Wars, found in Wonders of Life. However, there seems to be a new trend moving in the opposite direction. Beginning in the 1990s, Horizons and World of Motion were both replaced by thrill rides, culminating in Mission: Space and Test Track. Journey into Imagination was reduced by about half its run time. The resulting ride suffers from low popularity and roughly half that pavilion sits unused. Wonders of Life has closed permanently, eliminating both Body Wars and Cranium Command, a theater show with a premise very similar to Disney’s Inside Out or the old 1990s comedy show, Herman’s Head. (The show was dated thanks to its reliance on comedy personalities from the 1980s. Some have argued that it ought to be redone with a more contemporary cast of Disney-affiliated actors.) Universe of Energy is also scheduled to close to accommodate a third thrill ride based on the Guardians of the Galaxy movie franchise. EPCOT has retained educational offerings at Communicore, but one half of that attraction is now closed, and a third of the remaining pavilion hosts a virtual reality roller coaster experience. The remaining sections, which focused at times on fire safety, severe weather, and colors, were lackluster at best. With the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy coaster, EPCOT may become “Hollywood Studios, Lite” - another dumping ground for the latest movie properties that draws the park away from its more transcendent vision. MGM Studios was about “the Hollywood That Never Was and Always Will Be.” Sometimes, Disney properties can be integrated artfully. For example, the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular and the Hollywood Tower of Terror are both woven artfully into the park’s original vision. That is less the case for the Toy Story attraction, although it is very fun. Ride concepts like The Great Villain Ride are ideal because they help blend both the vision of the parks and the use of Disney’s film repertoire. EPCOT should aspire to the same thing. Movie properties suited to EPCOT include Inside Out, Lion King (which has been integrated into The Land), Finding Nemo (integrated, with slightly less success, into the Living Seas pavilion), Wall-E, Wreck-It Ralph, and Big Hero Six. The World Showcase offers opportunities for linkages to Mulan, Moana, Ratatouille, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

EPCOT Center in the 80s and 90s had a particular atmosphere and sensibility which is almost impossible to describe to anyone today who never visited it during that time. I don't think you get it just by watching videos like this, although they're great to watch of course. The thing about the Future World rides was how they were presented in a way which was a strange mixture of the whimsical, serious, futuristic, optimistic, icy, forbidding, mysterious, joyous.

Agree 100%. There was nothing that advanced at the time. Taken as a package, these pavilions made future world special. The layout also had great space and beauty.

I was Epcot Center on opening day. All I can say is that it was an experience that I will never forget. It changed my life. There was nothing else like Epcot. It was greatness on such a scale that as i child I could not reel it all in. It was overwhelming emotionally. The idea that people build a park dedicated to education, art, tech and culture shocked me and inspired me beyond belief. The recent gutting of Universe of Energy brought me to tears. I was there the day it opened and I remember the lines, the original pre-show and how amazed people were. The people who built Epcot really cared. They didn’t do it to promote and product or to advance someone’s commercial agenda. Being there you knew that they truly believed that they were doing something for humanity and the world. The people who built Epcot are very special people. From the designers to the technicians to the construction workers and others. What they did is almost beyond words. How many people they inspired. The place literally changed my life. It was a magical time that I will Never forget. October 1st 1982

I'm kind of sad that the growing trend in rides lately have been all big video screens and 3D glasses, I'd much prefer an actual ride with animatronics than all digital.

The contracts Disney had with the sponsors of these pavilions required them to do a refurbishment every so often to prevent Future World from no longer being about the future, which is probably why Disney is doing a complete overhaul of Future World considering how tired it has gotten and the fact that a lot of the ride pavilions have lost sponsors.

Widenyourworld thank you so much for posting this video. I grew up on this ride I'm so sad to see it go it was probably the best in the top two best rides at Epcot ever and I've been on it over and over again it sucks that it was taken down for a damn track which we have everywhere this is actually educational and memorable not that I don't enjoy the truck but this was so much better. I'm sad to see it Go and it's going to take me a long time to get over it.

This was such a great ride. I was so sad when I heard they were getting rid of it. I only got to see it a few times when I visited Florida back in the late '80s.

When I went there when I was little! Horizons,World of motion and the original journey into imagination where not there! I am glad I researched them and I was born in 2001!

wow, I'd forgotten about so many scenes in this attraction, I miss all the old animatronic attractions, like this one & Horizons, and the original Journey into the Imagination, and the original classic - 20000 Leagues Under the Sea in Magic Kingdom. Actually I miss a lot of things from the 90's WDW. I will just have to settle for these nostalgic trips to into our past. Thanks for posting this video!

The narrator is the same voice actor that played Powdered Toast Man on Ren and Stimpy. "If in the event of an emergency; 'Cling tenaciously to my buttocks'"!

I think this was Epcot’s biggest weakness at the time, the rides were slow moving and boring, whereas kids would want something fast and exciting. I appreciate the ride for its originality, creativity and want to educate the public.

This was the adaptation of the New York World's Fair in the mid 60's from GM except that the actually used real GM automobiles. Just a line of different autos. I was 9 and rode that exhibit ride with my whole family in a single auto and was amazed.

I know things have to change, but that was a good attraction. I was really upset when Disney got rid of Horizons. Now that was a great attraction!! Thanks for posting this. Brings back the good ol' days of Epcot.

nicely done, the quality is pretty good for what was probably a vhs recorder. I miss this ride. Disney World use to be so magical now it is crank as many through as possible.

I never got to ride World of Motion- last time we went to WDW it was just for the day, in the 80s- but man, I would've loved it! To have hope and be hopeful for our future- thanks!

EPCOT (Then, Epcot Center) was much more cerebral back when it opened and during its first decade. A growing number of visitors lamented that it didn't have thrill rides that other parks had. Epcot didn't even have Disney characters when it opened. The only Disney character you would see is when Mickey Mouse and friends came out as part of a live entertainment set. Epcot Center was about emerging technologies sponsored by the companies implementing them. World Showcase was about art and culture, food and merchandise. It's been dumbed down so much since that time that it's hardly recognizable. For someone who was there from before the park opened, it was a sad period of decay to experience.

This was the EPCOT that I remember from the 1980s to 1990s: World of Motion; Universe of Energy; Horizons; The Land; Spaceship Earth; and The American Adventure. Sadly, only Spaceship Earth and The American Adventure remain.
