Just when I'm trying to come to terms with lower case Epcot I am reminded why I resent the loss of EPCOT so much.Proposed Lyrics for "New Horizons" for Horizons done in the late 70s/early 80s. It wasn't just the song for a ride, it was for the entire park.
There's a smile on the face of tomorrow...like the heart-warming sight of a friend....where we work, where we play, dreams come true everyday, as we reach for new horizons. We have learned to get more out of living, to create a rich happy lifetime to have...for the whole human race, there's a time and a place as we reach for new horizons...as we climb out of yesterday's shadow, and the hope for our future draws near...we are free to build and grow, to choose the way we go...the promise of tomorrow is clear...tomorrow is here!...we have countless new meadows to harvest, and the challenge to dream without end, life is filled with so much more than we ever had before...reaching new horizons, reaching.....new....horizons!
Dammit, EPCOT is not about cartoon fish and Jeopardy and celebs and Donald Duck. It is about something else, something far grander, more spectacular. So much more inspiring.
I don't need to drag my kids half way around the world to show them Nemo and feed them $8.99 1200 calories snacks and get their picture taken with Woody. I want to show them the world, inspire them, teach them, explore the world about us together!
