Original Epcot Concept Art

[al5957]

I once had a background on my computer desktop that was some original concept art of Epcot. My computer recently crashed and i lost the picture. I can not remember where i found the picture and would like to see if anyone has ever seen it before or knows where i could find it again. I did a google search and a search of this forum for the title of this thread "Original Epcot Concept Art" and came up with nothing. It was something that was always a great conversation piece and was a piece of Disney in the making.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the boards, AL!!!!

I don't know if this will help, but you can find the original EPCOT episode, hosted and narrated by Walt Disney, on youtube...

I think its been talked about on this site a few times, so you might be able to run a search for the video....if that would help you...

I'd try yahoo search.

You should try searching for "experimental prototype community of tomorrow"

That does bring up some drawings of the original.

al, Welcome. As mentioned above, this is E.P.C.O.T. the city and not the theme center or EPCOT Center isn`t it? Can you try to describe what was in the image?

There's an entire collector's book of epcot Original concept Art. I have one of them. What picture are you looking for, I may be able to scan it.

How is this?

I think there is also a color version of sorts on the cover of one of the early 80's Annual Reports. I don't have it with me but can check when I get home next week.

Here`s the colour one; if it`s the one (though it`s not art) I have some much larger versions, and also one from the back looking towards the camera.

actually if you look under park models...on the main site...i entered a pic of the one that was on display...but there are OLDER concept arts that had the ball not there but mor e of a skyscraper as the center object

That sounds like the EPCOT Theme Center - a structure not dissamilar to the original prismatic fountain fins infront of SSE?

Either that or it was the cheap version of WESTCOT!
