Long Lost Mt. Fuji at EPCOT, video found!

[Sam Magic]

Agreed. I think its one of the most overrated rides. Not to mention its painful! :\

Imagineering knew this; don't you think they would change it? Look at our version it's bigger, comfortable, and a time machine stuck in the Disco Daze! Best ride Ever!!

Wait what is that huge mountain thing in Italy on the left????

Oh wait is that the Switzerland Pavillion with Matterhorn?

You know instead of blowing 2 billion on "next gen" and throwing out countless millions on nonsense Disney could build these and really flesh out Epcot and give it some easy thrill rides that actually make thematic sense too.

If you take the amount they spent on next gen, they could have added an e ticket or new land to all four parks! 2 billion on bracelets?!? Absurd!!!

Hmm... was this going to be anything like the ride technology they've rumored to have planned for the Hogwart's express?

Nope. Pure Circlevision effect.

Little known fact, there was actually a circlevision-type movie at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. The theater had projectors in the center, and was supposed to simluate a hot air balloon flight, but the projector room was so hot, it was shut down after 2 days.

There was also a continuously moving transit system prototype on display at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago where one Elias Disney worked as a carpenter.

Does anyone know why Switzerland and those mountains were not built? Can they still be built?

Probably not unless they can build DVC rooms or a Duffy Bear Experience into them
