South of the fountain. When the big open and barren stage viewing area.... Wasn't.
By the flag pole.
The right side group of people? Below the person in white on the right.
Am I good or what?

Thanks for showing, I forgot Epcot had a flag pole back in Future World.

I can't believe that I've never seen the original dedication plaque. I much prefer it!
Best thing I've read all day.

Please save this photo for the "Epcot attendance was diminishing in the 80's," comments that are always being shot down.

And before you say this is only one video, you're basing your argument on one picture of one spot in the entire 300 acre park.

Look at all the green space, trees, shade and benches and yet they could still acomodate a good size crowd. Sigh....

At about 18 seconds is that crowds for Universe of Energy? I don't think Ellen's gets that many people in one year... that video really makes me wish i saw the original Epcot
I'm sorry. Your point is?

Holy crap. Those lines at Energy and Journey.
I hope I live long enough to see something like that and be old enough to remember it at this park.

What really stands out to me from the 1989 video (besides the existence of Horizons) was the color scheme of the Journey Into Imagination building and the fullly-visible World of Motion building (without the scaffolding). JII looked so beautiful and downright profound. It just goes to show how these seemingly minor cosmetic alterations have changed the "feel" of Future World (because the original imagineering took into account how the buildings would complement each other).
But it also gives me hope that Future World is fully capable of looking and feeling that way again.

I bet the picture with only three people was taken in the early morning. And I've seen that 1989 monorail video. Woah, was it crowded. Though it's not as bad as the crowds shown on another page online about EPCOT'a crowds when it first opened.

Yes, you are, but I think you already know that.
Now my feelings are hurt.
I see the exact spot where heat sickness kicked in for me last time... and... it's shaded. A double smack across the face.

I might be the only one that like leave a legacy maybe if they re-do it with color pictures it would be even betterIf the rumor is true I hope they are getting rid of the Leave Of Legacy plague in the entrance and bring this back

oh you are the one....
It was a fun idea initially but I don't think anyone leaving a legacy ever thought it would be the gigantic cemetary that it has become... Take the plates off the monuments and put them on the walls of the plaza discarding the monuments completely... or move the monuments plates and all to the sidewalk that goes to the bus loop... set in some landscaping it might look more appropriate... and then recasst the original Acrylic Pylon and restore the entry fountain!!.
