I have seen the Martin Smith tribute video, but that's really no replacement for riding an attraction... Oh and that blog also had a fantastic article about the Germany World Showcase pavilion. For someone like me who knows the original it was great to see where all the inspiration came from.

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 I went to Epcot when in 1982 1986 1990 1992 1995 1996 2002 and 2007. So I was 8 12 16 18 21 22 28 and 33. The former years it was known as the "boring park" though I loved the AA's in things like Horizons and such. I hated the countries. As I get older I appreciated Epcot more and more. I'm still not crazy about the countries, but the difference is this time I can stop in the England for a pint or in Mexico for a margarita.

Hate the Apple "lifestyle".<<< Do you really think that's what EPCOT would become? LOL I'm talking aesthetics, here. And for the record, I don't like the Apple Attitude any more than you do.

Apple's look is very bland, IMO. It works for computers. Don't know how well it'd transfer over to theme parks.

But I do think lots of chrome, and smooth surfaces would be used.
