What was you favorite original Epcot pavilion and why?

[mickey2008.1]

i voted for the land due to the fact that it still is pretty much the original and that i have incorporated its princples into my own gardening. But as a kid, SSE was pretty awesome as was UOE for its effects. WOM i can only remember thru youtube videos, but i definitely remember the ride vehicles. off a little bit, but i still love maelstrom and its unloading area before the movie, once got stuck at the bottom of the hill by the l rg for 30 minutes, just me and my brother, totaly cool looking wth its lights.

Wow - I'm only one of two people (at time of vote) that were facinated with the UOE. Loved the way the theater broke into pieces and formed a train for the ride portion and also loved the 'circlevision' and sound system and music!!

I remember seeing it when I was 12 (1983). I didn't know it would break into a ride until it happened. That was the best experience ever for me at Epcot! maybe even Walt Disney World!

For me, Horizons. I can remember riding it a few times, but the last time was about a month before it closed. It was late at night and it was our last stop before leaving. Definatley one of the most immersive experiences you would ever get from an attraction. I was disappointed when I returned to EPCOT a couple years later and saw the "walls of doom" and no spaceship.

Though I picked Horizons, I am still a huge fan of Journey Into Imagination and The Living Seas. Its just upsetting at what they have become. Couldn't they have at least kept the Hydrolators? And I know its not an original pavilion, but Wonders of Life was a special place too.

They could of!
The Living Seas had some of the most best story-telling in Disney. You got see a film about what makes up 3/4's of earth. Then you took hydrolators down into the deeps of the ocean. Took "cabs" to a real marine base research centre. Ans boom when you were done you tooke hydrolators back to the shore.

They could of had Turtle Talk in there along with some Nemo, but all of it, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I wonder if the hydrolators still exist?? The last time I remember going through the original pavilion, the sea cabs had been walled off and the hydrolators were the only mode of transportation. And they were letting people bypass the film after the preshow area. What a waste of a great attraction! They should've kept a happy medium between TLS and Nemo, with two ways to experience the adventure: hydrolators or clamshells. If we can choose "puking" or "non-puking" on Mission:Space, then why can't we have options elsewhere!

Post of The DAY! Or better yet, NO NEMO AT ALL.

I think they're all gone however. Martin's videos show all the changes.
