If We Can Dream It...


I can think of no other place in Epcot's history to start blogging about than with Horizons. I know this is a favorite of many fans of Epcot and a much missed and longed for attraction. It embodied all that EPCOT Center was about. It sparked wonder and encouraged people to think about the future. It included beautiful scenes and wonderful audio animatronics. It featured themed music that EPCOT Center was known for, something that is missing for the most part now.


I plan on looking at specific aspects of Horizons in the future, but I just wanted to start off by sharing my favorite extinct attraction at Epcot first of all. I first rode this in 1989 as an eight year old boy who wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this building from the outside.


When I emerged into the bright Florida sunshine after riding, my parents probably had to push my lower jaw up. This attraction influenced many of my passions and fascinations in my life that I continue to hold to this day.


Stay tuned for more on Horizons.
