Seriously though, Epcot really needs to go back to its Omnimover, animatronic roots. I know that the trend is going towards thrill rides, but who is to say they can't somehow make an attraction which is scary, thrilling, and inspiring without physically jostling the riders around?

Seriously, how about a ride/attraction with a restaurant in the middle of it. That way you could get a fastpass and then have a snack or meal while waiting. (Note: would only work with non-thrill rides)

Actually, not true at all. Walt's idea was EPCOT (Experimental Prototyple Community Of Tomorrow). This was a working city (that can partly be seen on the TTA). Epcot, turned out extremely differently (by combining Future World and World Showcase into one park). The park that is going to be celebrating it's 25th anniversary in 2007 was at most inspired by Walt. Pretty much everything else is different.DisneyRoxMySox said:
As for relaxing, you can never get a pavilion that is both popular and relaxing at the same time. The Land used to be relaxing and why? Because it was empty. It held 3 attractions, a movie, a little educational boat ride and Food Rocks. The most popular thing there was probably the food court. No one was in there because it was boring. Now if I had the choice of a relaxing pavilion (like the old Land) or a popular pavilion (like the new Land), I'd easily choose the popular one.

Askmike - 3 things:
1. I agree with your Walt Disney/EPCOT assessment
2. Do you keep track of attraction counts? Because this past winter, The Land had higher attendance than every pavilion next to Spaceship Earth.
3. In the space of WoL, a popular AND well-themed area could be created.

mousermerf -- nice pin. Wonders of Life didn't really use a symbol next to promotional materials, however... I don't even recall seeing one in the building.

There is, the circle has like a pentagon inside of it and inside of that is a "human" body, one half the dark blue, the other "clear" and the symbol itself was all blue.
I've seen the symbol, but was it in the building?mousermerf said:

It was originally on the map-thingy when you entered the pavillion, later removed. It was visible in backstage areas though.
Oh cool. Thanks.mousermerf said:

y does it make you mad, I like the the new (well most of it) epcot. If I want to learn I would stay home and go to school, But I miss alot of the old stuff in epcot. Poor figment has been stabed in the back and even with the teaching level high in the originals they where great classics.

I hate when people use MS and TT as examples. Horizons and World of Motion (which these rides replaced) were also just rides, not pavillions. In fact I could be wrong, but I don't think Disney has ever changed the format of an attraction from pavilion to ride or vica versa. UoE and EEA are both rides. MS and Horizons are both rides. WoM and TT are both Rides. The old Land and the new Land are both pavillions. The old imagination pavilion and the new Imagination Institute are both pavillions. Comunicore and Innoventions are both pavilions. Pavilions are not any more dead then they were in 1982.RCMAN2001 said:

basically, a cruel joke for the Grizz...... because it gave him hope that WoL didnt have the potential to see the fate of Horizons. i guess only time will tell. i remember discussions and the reasoning was why would they paint it if they are about to bulldoze it.General Grizz said:
oh, they washed the windows too, i think i remember that.
i will say that the inside decor (triangles, squares on the wall) look so 80's it reminds me of the old Richards Simmons exercise videos...... not that i actually owned one or watched one, :lol:
