Well, having finished today's operation, the Living Seas pavilion at Epcot only has 6 days left before it closes for the big rehab.
I figured we'd count the days down and have a sorta "Living Seas Hoopla."
So, for day #6, the first day of our countdown - let's start the beginning. The making of the Living Seas.
Contrary to a lot of people's assumptions, The Living Seas is not an original Epcot pavilion. It opened after the rest of the park in 1986. Several portions of the attraction were altered, even from what books that Disney itself published said it would be like. A less-techno storyline and a longer ride with a "cradle of life" sequence and Poseidon as your guide were dropped and replaced with the educational film. Did you know the Living Seas' fictional SeaBase Alpha storyline is supposed to be in the year 2030?
The modules, interestingly enough, were always meant to exist in some fashion - even with the Poseidon style ride.
