Horizons was the zeitgeist of EPCOT Center, but World of Motion was the Disney.

Thought it might interest some of your followers to see my three WDW Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village employment photos from 1976 & 1977, at Lite Bite & Heidelberger's Deli:

10 years ago today, on August 1, 2015 - #Rush plays the final show of the "R40 Live" tour at the LA Forum, in what would prove to be their final live show *ever*. Many rock celebs were on hand, and the band treated the crowd to "Losing It" with Jonny Dinklage on electric violin rushisaband.com/blog/2015/08…

"Theme parks are not just the sum of their ride rosters, to be raced around and checked off one by one. They are as much defined by the spaces in between; by the absence of attractions, too."

A heartfelt goodbye to a piece of Magic Kingdom's soul.
They're paving over the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. For a Cars ride.
It was never about popularity. It was about the quiet moments. Grabbing a pretzel, watching the paddlewheel boat, and escaping the hustle. That quiet stretch of riverfront was the heart of the park's charm, a place where the frantic pace slowed to a gentle crawl.
Now, we face five years of construction walls carving up that heart. A constant reminder of what we've lost. It's not just the loss of a ride; it's the loss of a feeling, a memory, a piece of our childhoods.
An absolute tragedy for Magic Kingdom. And there's no going back.

The rot that’s bringing down TSI + the river has been around for a while. I’m sure it may have started earlier, but for me I became aware of it in 2016 as I watched Guardians be built in Epcot.
TSI is the largest domino (so far) to fall to the current leadership’s toxic ethos.

When I was a kid I never read "Tom Sawyer" or knew who "Mr Toad" was. It didn't matter! It was all about what we DO in these attractions we can't do at home. Hiding in Caves and crazy driving were high on my list as a 9 year old. Great attractions have a primal, timeless appeal.

Removing Rivers of America will go down as one of the biggest Disney Parks mistakes ever.

I kept thinking they were gonna realize what a stupid idea this was and go back on it but I guess they're serious

If you tried to get a ticket to our Living Seas special event earlier today and were told it was sold out, some seats abandoned in buyers' shopping carts have been released.
Come meet Imagineers Tim Delaney, Kym Murphy, and Tom Morris in pavilion they created.

April 15, 1945 - British soldiers liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen; Geddy Lee's mother was among the survivors, and her memories from that time served as inspiration for the #Rush song "Red Sector A."

While we're looking at theme park ride lineups and data visualization, here's an interesting perspective – the complete ride lineups of Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World! A nice answer to, "Well we always go to one, why should we go to the other, too?" #ParkLoreArt

He will always be Third Officer Collins to me, as well as Henry from Country Bear Jamboree, Capt. Nemo in the 20K attraction, Mesa Verde dad, and probably many other roles I never realized.
