Hi everyone,
I don't know if I'm completely oblivious or what seeing that I'm only 16, but for about a year now, I've been concerned. Something really does bother me, and makes me wonder about society today. I recently just finished reading a book called Fahrenheit 451, which was a book written by Ray Bradbury back in the 50s, I believe. The book showcases a strange society that resembles the one of today, in a very discomforting way; censorship, dumbing down of things, things becoming generic, shortage of quality in things, and certain technological advancements etc.. Reading this book, going to Epcot, and seeing vintage videos of EPCOT center on youtube, has got me really thinking, to the point where I get real upset :brick:. What if I say, maybe Disney didn't change EPCOT center all by itself, maybe society helped changed it. Today a lot kids my age need things to be loud, flashy, hip hoppy, fast, and profanity filled for it to be considered cool or entertaining. EPCOT had to change, but couldn't Disney do better? I mean by all means I enjoy Mission: Space, and Test Track, but couldn't they keep some of the more inspirational EPCOT rides like Horizons? Rides like that could of help inspire many generations of people. It would be nice to see Mission: Space and Horizons up and running simultaneously. That would've been an improvement. EPCOT could be better easily. I live in Orlando, and I have annual passes to all the major theme parks, and I can tell you, that Epcot has great potential to be the best to more locals my age (It's already to me, but that's because I know EPCOT). This park means far too much, and Disney doesn't seem to realize it's potential, and it hurts. I understand that society is changing, and Disney needs to change the park, but please don't stray from the park's original message. Please take better care of the dedication to Walt's last dream. Man words can't describe, how I care for Epcot, and how it saddens me deeply to see some of the things that I see there today. It kills me inside every time I see those videos of old Epcot and hear about it's ambitious original duty as a theme park, and seeing all those concept arts. I respect it's change but I wish Disney would do better with these changes in many aspects (The rides, the design and look of future world today etc.). It's truly becoming hard for me to believe that a concept like EPCOT center was created by the same company that broadcasts Hannah Montana, and now the company that broadcasts that crap is slowly depleting Epcot's quality and purpose, instead of harmonizing with today's new thrills and yesterday's inspirational EPCOT.
