Originally Posted By mickey_ring I have that on videotape from way back when. I wasn't that close when I recorded it, so it's kind of just a couple of circling parachute planes. In 1993, a company called WET Design refurbished this Epcot Center feature.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think it was going to be located directly across the lake from where it is now (at the entrance to the World Showcase), but I don't know what it was supposed to look like...funny that I always thought that it looked more like something from further north (like Pennsylvania) than Georgia...
Originally Posted By brotherdave Correct, Ferret! As for what it looked like, well, it looked more as if it fit into Future World than World Showcase. The pre-production artwork that I've seen for it made it look like a semi-circular domed building with 'horseshoe' shaped central core surrounded by large 'Tomorrowland'-style pylons of varying heights. Personally, I think they made the better choice! As for the "Georgian" style mansion, that is what I've seen it referred to in many publications. Personally, I think it has more of a Colonial Virginia look, resembling the Governor's Mansion at Colonial Williamsburg very heavily.

It's so common that a certain sub-set of Georgian Architecture is called "Federal Style" and it's pretty much exactly what you would imagine if you imagine a generic state capital building. Okay, lecture over, we now return you to your regularly schedualed trivia thread.
