I like it more than the current. I'd like something new better than either.

Your opinion. It would bring back some nestaglia to those who remember it.

Wasn't me. I may have mentioned a change to the toll booth area look but not the entrance of the park.
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but you (and your family any maybe someone else that you specifically direct to the location of your tile) will be the only ones who will ever see it. No one else really cares to stop and admire the one-dimensional thumbnail images of perfect strangers that have a resolution quality below that of newspaper print.
Speak for yourself. I see people looking at the tiles nearly every time I go.

Can anyone tell the story of this thing? I loved it and want it back.

I remember seeing one of the prisms being auctioned on E-bay by MouseSurplus. Don't know if they did the other two as well or they went their separate way. Maybe they will do some updated look with some sort of tribute to the original fountain.

I think the words you were looking for are timeless and classy.
Hey, that's a good thing too!

And of course, there was the greatest loss of the war when General Dreamfinder was shot down. Captain EO was just lucky they only sent him to a POW camp.

Sorry but have to agree with the other person. The only people looking are the one's who bought them and can't ever find them. The quality of the tiles reminds me of when I was a kid and pressed silly putty up against the comics in the newspaper....wait...that was higher quality. No..seriously, it was.
What gets me is that as human beings, the only time we really make large slabs of marble or granite with hundreds/thousands of names or identities on it is to remember loved ones that have passed on through significant historic events. Having been to places like the Vietnam Memorial in DC, I can't fathom any of the suits in marketing thought this was a great idea. A postage size piece of tin on huge slabs of granite? And a life span of a few years? Cheezy!!!!
Since they are taking it down within 10 years, it would appear it was nothing more than a cash cow to milk the millennium wave that everybody excited back in 2000. Hell, I bet Eisner would have charged his own mother to have her picture put up there back then!

Agreed. Those prisms are suck in the 80's (along with most of EPCOT, sadly). They are neat but lets not go backward. Lets encourage movement forward. After all, that was really Walt's motto. Give us something Experimental. Give us something Prototype. Give us something City. Give us something Tomorrow.
Keep moving forward (and hopefully in a good way).

I've heard there was a secret chord
HALLELUJAH! :sohappy:
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I will disagree 100%.
A large part of the charm of Epcot is the fact that it was born in the culture of the 80s. In fact, if born in the 90s, it would look like a run down piece of junk. If born in the 70s, it would have looked like junk when it opened.
It should continue to embrace the unique position it was born into.
That is what makes me sad about the park. The lack of Flamingos. The dumped down Odessy. The 2/3 empty Imagination pavilion.

I seem to remember that the statue is in front of a car dealer in Arizona.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Great news! Bit by bit they are excavating EPCOT Center.

First time I've heard that. That'd be cool if it were true, I could send some friends of mine to track it down and get some pictures.
