Epcot is one of my favorite parks!
The first phase of Epcot, then still called, Epcot Center was something spectacular. A kind of adult Magic Kingdom, but very diferent in concept. Today is just another park.
For some a Tourist Trap.
It's amazing to see how World of Motion changed so much before opening, and how Horizons stayed very true to it's original concept.
thanks so much for sharing this. Wonderful video. Card always seems right on the edge of having a freakout...
We're getting ready for you!
Totally based on Walt and the World's Fair. The theme music was even written by the Shermans.
I think I recall seeing another promotional film for EPCOT from either the late 70s or early 80s that was here on UA-cam before. I was more like a photographic film presentation with music in the background. I'd like to see that if it's still up.
I believe this film is called "EPCOT '77" and it will be shown at "Destination D: Walt Disney World 40th".
0:15 I think they just described the internet.
Love the guy's suit and glasses. In the 80's and early 90's EPCOT was a well thought out and cohesive masterpiece, but lackluster/ill fitting replacement attractions wrecked it for me and just made me sadder with each new visit till I stopped going after 2000 and now just stick to Disneyland in CA. Enjoyed this glimpse into EPCOT's golden age(complete with Disneyland's Funky Peoplemover soundtrack).
Good video
The Horizon song and the We're Getting Ready songs. (to clarify)
Holy crap! Why have I never seen this?
Card's bit may have been filmed in 1977, but the construction of the(Transportation Pavilion scenery was closer to 1981
IF IM SAYING ANYTHING, IS WELCOME BACK!, TO THE STARK EXPO!
Why are Disney videos becoming so popular recently
What it turned out to be is not even CLOSE to what Walt envisioned. Was there last week and saw the film that he hosted explaining his vision. It was supposed to have houses, apartments, schools, businesses….a "community". Still, I'm sure that his ghost isn't turning it's nose up at the bucks it brings in.
I want to go!
are those songs available in mp3 form anywhere? (at around the 3:00 minute mark and on)
35 years later ... Toto ,we are not in Kansas ...
Future World?!? By the time they build it, it's History....
PCOT was magical in the early 1980's but a permanent Worlds Fair was a flawed concept. What was once cutting edge became outdated and the earlier ambition was replaced with more conventional rides. The design of the park is also an issue because expansion in some areas became nearly impossible. It still has tremendous sentimental value.
The term "outdated" though has been badly used regarding EPCOT. Yes, places like Communicore became outdated, but there was nothing outdated about rides like World Of Motion, Horizons etc. that couldn't have been fixed with just a little tweaking at the end. They, like Spaceship Earth which is still around, were rides that started by looking back and that doesn't become "outdated" in the least. A ride like World of Motion was no more outdated than Pirates Of the Caribbean or Haunted Mansion.
@@epaddon I completely agree about the World of Motion and Horizons. I really miss those attractions.
I miss Horizons. Even outdated.
"flat-pack futurism"...some new ideas, but it turns out to not nearly be weird enough.
1:41 In the future, Mankind will communicate using a series of elaborate tubes!
Was this before they had cars?
This really didn't turn out the way they hoped, did it?
Yeah it's got dharma written all over it!
I don't remember seeing any of this at epcot
Funny I remember all of it
I wish I was riding a dolphin in an underwater city

I like beans
:16 prestige worldwide
Could they be any more generic?
Experimental prototype of the community of tomorrow
Yes, Disney, why?
i hated epcot so much. the only thing there (prior to the test track dummies) was that lame movie ride. 13 years later and i still remember it
The laws Disney insisted on were permission to build his own nuclear power plant ("atoms for peace") and to set up his own "city" unmolested by city and county lregulatoons
Too bad all these futuristic designs are mostly found in Dubai. We dream about them and they build them lol.

It's a shame what Epcot has become.
Just kidding!

زرزر
Too bad it's nothing like this
Mostly crap. Some of it was okay. They bought, borrowed or stole from Jacques Fresco, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov..great concept-givers... But...but I have even better ideas! IF You are interested CONTACT ME!
Go away -.-
Epcot fail!
Who hires a guy called Card? GTFO!
are any of the commenters on this video NOT working in the porn industry?
