Epcot Center: A Souvenir Program (1983) *** Restored & Upscaled to 1080p HD *** Rough Cut?

Please consider supporting my channel by purchasing your EPCOT tickets via Expedia: https://expedia.com/affiliate/HnasM5X NOTE: I purchased this used VCR tape at FleaWorld around 1995 in Sanford, Florida. I initially assumed the tape was just a bootleg, but this tape may be an early rough cut used during production (there are some differences from the final release sold in 1983). Epcot is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. It is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Disney Experiences division. The park opened on October 1, 1982, as EPCOT Center—the second of four theme parks built at the resort. Often referred to as a "permanent world's fair", Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, particularly technological innovation and international culture and is known for its iconic landmark Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere. During early development of the Florida property, Walt Disney wanted to build an experimental planned community showcasing modern innovation, known as "EPCOT". After Disney's death in 1966, the company felt his grand vision was impractical. However, it laid the groundwork for EPCOT Center, a theme park that retained the core spirit of Disney's vision. The park was divided into two distinct areas: Future World reprises the idea of showcasing modern innovation through educational entertainment attractions within avant-garde pavilions, while World Showcase highlights the diversity of human cultures from various nations. From the late 2010s to the early 2020s, the park underwent a major overhaul, adding new attractions and Future World was restructured into three areas: World Celebration, World Discovery and World Nature. The park spans 305 acres, more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom Park. In 2024, the park attracted 12.1 million guests, making it the eighth-most visited theme park in the world. #adventureschmuck #retrospective #retro #themeparks #epcot #waltdisneyworld #florida Epcot Center: A Souvenir Program (1983) *** Restored & Upscaled to 1080p HD *** Opening Year Chapters: 00:00 Opening Titles 00:11 Introduction 01:00 The parking lot wasn't finished for opening day 01:45 Epcot Center: A Souvenir Program begins 02:15 Future World 02:40 World Showcase 03:05 Spaceship Earth 03:45 Earth Station 04:00 Communicore 04:45 Design your own roller coaster 05:10 Future Choice Theater 05:30 Universe of Energy 06:12 Horizons 07:05 World of Motion 07:45 Trans Center 08:10 Journey Into Imagination 08:25 Dreamfinder & Figment 08:55 The ImageWorks 09:20 ChromaKey Theater 09:50 The Land 10:05 Kitchen Kabaret 10:30 Listen To The Land Boat Ride 12:10 Symbiosis film 12:30 Walt Disney World Opening in 1971 13:05 Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow 13:25 Construction began on Epcot in 1979 14:00 Building Epcot 14:33 The Grand Opening of Epcot in 1982 14:50 The American Adventure 16:00 Italy pavilion 16:35 Germany 17:00 China 17:40 Mexico 18:15 Canada 18:45 The United Kingdom 19:40 France 20:20 Japan 21:05 Outro
