Attraction of the past...World of Motion

[Sansaarai]

A new series for you. Attractions of the past!

Todays attraction........

World of Motion!

What did you like about this attraction?
What do you miss most about this attraction?
What is your fondest memory connected with this attraction?


As advanced as Test Track is I miss the simple slow ride through the history of transportation. No breakdowns. No long lines. No Fast Pass. The relaxed travel through various scenes full of detail and surprises. It is an example of what Epcot is lacking these days, educating rides. This one I truely miss.

What about you?

"Its fun to be free!"

I will never forget the scene with the man sharing the mud with the pig. That always cracked me up when I was a kid.

I thought the homely girl giggling at the Centaur in the Greek scene was a riot!

The music haunted you for the rest of the day too.

"it's fun to be free... to be on the move......."

I loved WOM
It will be missed for sure
footprints on the wall

 

[MKCustodial]

I loved the crash scene! That was so funny, with that guy coming up from the sewer!

By the way, I have some old TERRIBLE pics from WoM, but I can try to scan them if anyone is interested. They are kinda dark, though...

I loved that scene where the guy is peeking into the spyglass and the sea monster is peeking in the other end:lol:
I miss this ride more than any other that has become extinct

 

[GrinningGhost]

And remeber the ending where you see yourself inside the concept car in the futuristic city....

 

[J_Skellington]

I'll always remember going up that ramp into the whole in the side that I always thought looked like the begining of a Loony Toons cartoon.

It's fun to be free!!!!

I don't remember this attraction very much, the last time I was on it I was like 10... the only thing I remember is the futurictic city at the end.

World of Motion was SO good! The start (on the way up the ramp)provided some excellent photo/video opportunities of the Spaceship Earth geosphere.

 

[GrinningGhost]

Nobody's mentioned that great scene where the three inventors were proposing their ideas for the wheel to the king (triangle, square, circle)....

Apparently the king was modelled after Walt himself!

I only rode it once after a rainstorm in July of 85 when I was 9
but the rain and the open air portion at the beginning was
beautiful (I remeber it well) and the jetson car mirror/ futuristic
city thing was really cool. I know some will disagree, but I
enjoyed WOM way more than test track.

Can't wait to go in October - only 156 days left!

Or the cave men w/ hot foot ..........

the sea monster was one of my favorites (as a kid i thought he was a relitive of Figment)

and the Oper Road Scene w/ the families in the car...
