EPCOT Center had one ribbon display on the Communicore building during the early years as well, though I can't locate a photo right now

They look and sound like a cross between the Osmonds, Tony DeFranco & the DeFranco family and Up with People!! LOL...Gotta love the lip-synching and the off beat clapping!! The Astro Orbiter looked so nice and clean! Paint them white!

It looked like a bad episode of Star Trek by the late 80s, however.
Watching that clip, it amazes me that anyone could possibly have nostalgia for the 70s.
Was the Astro Orbiter a new headline attraction or something? Seems like they were trying to emphasize it as much as possible.

Not exactly...The special as shown called "Welcome to the World" was an Hour long TV Special for the Grand Opening of Space Mountain. A very strange and campy 70's special..And do you know how much time they spent on MK's mountain for this? The Last 10 minutes of it.....

Sheer sci-fi that: the MK having live bands in every single land.

Steampunk would definitely describe Paris' vibe. Bronze, copper, gold colors tend to dominate.
The original WDW Tomorrowland was more 50's and 60's atomic/space ages. The overall, mostly white theme made sense at the time (think white Saturn V rockets, like the one smack dab in the middle of Astro Orbiter).
What followed to DL and WDW in 98 and 94, respectively, was an attempt to modernize a bit. Bolt on some neon, paint some bold colors and toss in a few gears and industrial looking stuff.
Now WDW Tomorrowland is returning a bit to its roots, but like the transformation in 94 - going the low tech route... By removing those gears and neon and painting things a new color (but mostly white). This also happens to match the theming of Tron well. Two birds with one stone, on the cheap.
