EPCOT Preview From 1978

You have to make it to the end, which is a musical number that shows space stations and underwater cities as some golden-voiced man coos, "The future belongs to the dreamer/The dreamer inside of you/The dreams of the future/All shiny and new." Magical.

They had better not be mocking Horizons.

Wow.

If I had a dollar for every cancelled Disney ride/attraction/park area I would like to have seen completed, I could probably afford a one-day Magic Your Way ticket with Parkhopper.

Most disappointingly, Animal Kingdom's Beastlie Kingdomme and the Fantasia-themed boat ride that would have gone with it.

keep in mind the entire concept of epcot changed dramatically from seed to germination (and from Walt's original vision for the "Florida Project"). The idea was to offset the cost of the park with (lucrative) corporate sponsorships, much like the 64 world's fair. Same for the world showcase, in which the host country paid a fee to be there. There's a reason a new country hasnt been added since Morocco, even though space exists for several more countries, should the circumstances arise.
