A fascinating inside peek at early '80s WED and Horizons - Ned Landon's Retirement Video

As an artifact into the creation of EPCOT, this thing is Rosetta Stone-tier.

@Figments Friend has got to see this video. And as a gamer, this video reminds me of a few videos shot inside Nintendo Of America during some of there Nintendo Directs.

So Bodysonics is what caused the pavilion to have structural issues. It all makes sense now.

I find it funny they played the Mos Eisley Band song during the lunch segment...

It's funnier hearing that after the recent announcement of Stars Wars Land coming to HS and Disneyland.

Am I the only person who smiled when the Sherman Brothers started singing?

Or Star Tours in 1987 where it makes more sense than that.....Then again it's not like it's been predicted before in one of the oddist out of no where predictions....

Ned's 'retirement video' was great.
Nice to see Claude Coats there, and Marty looks like a kid in this!
His office has stuff in it that I also have...freaky.


Wow...a real snapshot in time.
Back when WED was 'WED' and kicking creative ars.
A different, much missed, era.

Thanks for sharing the video, and thinking of me.

There's a little more information here: http://progresscityusa.com/2016/08/16/ned-landons-windows/
According to this, the video we've watched was provided by the Landon family, who saved the VHS for all these years.
