Not mentioned: the Kim Possible World Showcase mission, which later became the Agent P Mission. You reserved a time and location, got a cellphone, and used it to listen to instructions and activated small things that later helped defeat the villains. I did the Japan and Mexico one back when it was KP themed. You essentially followed clues, walked to a specific area. Then you pressed the button on your phone to make a small action happen, like activating a water fountain, and then later went to defeat the villain who was either an animatronic or sound clip.
+Andrew Weinstein - I never played the Kim Possible or Agent P games myself, but they certainly looked fun, and seemed to be an effective method of making World Showcase more interesting for kids.
I went there for the Kim Possible version. I didn't play it, though it was because it was surprisingly popular. The day my mom and I spent at Epcot I'd always see a kid with the striped down phone causing random effects. It was cute and I could see how it could add more interest which can be considered the adult park.
I'm sorry you didn't get to see Off-Kilter, a Scottish rock band. They did "Johnny B. Goode" at the show I saw and announced; "Now how could we possibly take this classic of American rock and roll and completely ruin it? WE ADDED BAGPIPES TO IT!!!"
I’ve been watching these because I’ve watched tony goldmark and theme snark and all their videos and I can’t rewatch because I’m kind of depressed but these videos are just as good
Hey, it's FUTURE World, isn't it? And what better encapsulates the grandeur of "The Land" than the old west? (translation: I had no idea what music to use and got desperate. :P )
That's what I've heard as well, and based on the footage I've seen, it seems to be true. Sadly, I never went to EPCOT in the non-annoying Figment days.
The Circle-Vision actually predates IMAX, but post CinemaScope. It was created for America the Beautiful, and also used on a now defunct time travel show with robots.
My thoughts from 2020 as someone who only went to WDW Future World: kinda losing it's meaning with all the renovations but in a way, is trying to improve upon Epcot. Club Cool was fun but gone, Innoventions is gone, blah blah rides. Spaceship Earth: I enjoy it but it's future is ironically up in the air right now since the loss of the Siemens sponsor. An update may be coming but no ground was broken. The ending is fun if you plan your picture like Jerk did in his video (which I replicate for humor, I always hate the future) Mission Space: Flawed but fun, the update kinda downgraded it with the mars mission being intense only and having done the new mission, it's really dull. Test Track: one of my favorite rides turned into one of my least favorites in one revamp. What you feel about Jack in Pirates is what I feel here. It's Test Tron now and is more about a meaningless competition where the ride does less with you than before. (I don't hate the competition, I can get close to the highest score of the day, but I don't care about my other passenger's scores, I'm not gonna brag to them or see them again, I know I'm better) The Seas: Inside's cool, ride's lame except for the ending where the CG fish are swimming with real fish. As an alternative to the inefficient subs at DL( they're cool but they are terribly inefficient which is probably why we don't have it anymore), it's... passable. But I just walk through the gift shop to see the actual animals. Turtle Talk: did it once, never again. it's interesting technologically but other than that... not much else. Circle of Life: gone, I kinda miss it for my nostalgia for Lion King but it;s not a big blow. Living with the Land: Interesting if you're into that sort of thing, which I am. But it's not something to go out of your way for. Soarin': It's Soarin', of course it's great but Flight of Passage is better. The revamp is cool but I feel like it preys too much on jumpscares whereas the old version only had the golf ball. Honey I Shrunk the audience: Don't miss it, enjoyed Captain EO ironically, want it back, now it's a short film attraction and with Disney Plus, don't need it. Journey into Imagination: I want the original back. The beast must be less insufferable again. World Showcase is awesome if you love Food and Culture. Which I do... mostly food. It's also cool that the cast members in each country are students from those countries as well. Mexico: Great food and atmosphere. Gran Fiesta Tour: I think it's on it's way out... it's... alright but nothing great aside from the beginning which is reminiscent of Pirates at DL. Norway: The Frozen Capital of WDW. It's decent but the ride is the main draw. Maelstrom: Gone, miss it, Frozen's also good but I wish we could have both. China: Decent food with a Mulan character spot. Never saw any travel logs. Outpost: (AKA, the soon to be Africa Pavilion that will never be built, outside of Animal Kingdom, but no, they never built it for the bonus round of Is It Still There?) Germany: Great food and trains, that's it. Italy: Great Food and atmosphere, That's it American Adventure: Quick food, turkey legs, funnel cakes and a decent show, that's it. Japan: Great Food and Anime Shop, that's it. Morocco: Good food and an Aladdin and Jasmine character spot, that's it. France: Great Food, Character spots and new music with an instrumental of Topsy Turvy from Hunchback (Good to see it's getting attention still) UK: Great Fish and Chips, stores and characters, that's it. Canada: Great Steakhouse, that's it. BOOZE: Now at all parks in one place or another.
At least Circle Of Life got someone who sounds like Matthew Brodeick, whereas The Lion Guard has a voice that really... doesn't Not that I watch Disney Junior shows. Nope. No sirrie.

Nice to see Ren Stevens, Eric Matthews and Bender in the same park!
7:46 *Back to the Future Part III music!*
It's a deleted scene from the remake of "The Producers", reuniting the Lion King trio. I couldn't resist.
"...especially considering they couldn't even think of a Norwegian Disney character for their topiary..."
Oh, but they have a few now! :P
21:50 *COUGH-ELSA, COUGH-LUCA*

Here's what's left of Uncle Walt's little Utopia
05:49 DR. INSANO!!!!!!!
Too bad The Norway Pavilion at Epcot doesn't have a meet-and-greet with Thor and Loki
And sadly, it probably never will, unless Universal relinquishes the east coast Marvel theme park rights.
If Westcot was approved Loki and Thor would be in the Norway pavilion.
I see that Pepe LePew joke has aged like wine...
I think Africa should add a Black Panther meet and greet.
Hey, it's FUTURE World, isn't it? And what better encapsulates the grandeur of "The Land" than the old west?
(translation: I had no idea what music to use and got desperate. :P )
Actually, I think Bambi is Austrian.
11:36 I heard Figment wasn't as annoying in the early years of EPCOT. Can anyone confirm that?
That's what I've heard as well, and based on the footage I've seen, it seems to be true. Sadly, I never went to EPCOT in the non-annoying Figment days.
doggans Seem like a shame. When I went to EPCOT I remember seeing a promo for the new Journey to Imagination and I led my mom far away from that show
+doggans sadly Figment is now a creature from Hell
The Circle-Vision actually predates IMAX, but post CinemaScope. It was created for America the Beautiful, and also used on a now defunct time travel show with robots.
12:01 Jack Nicholson
Years late but I finally have a clever comment: EPCOT is the liver of Disney World (Cause you can drink there)
7:50 bttf 3 music? lol

Does this video feature the first meme edit of yakkos world on TH-cam?
I'm kinda sad that they don't have Akira in the Japan Pavilion.
Or even Hiro and Baymax in the Japan Pavilion but then again the movie and series does take place in San Fransokyo...
They used to have a show in the Japan pavilion featuring such kid-friendly shows as Dragon Ball, Naruto, Pokémon, and... NEON GENESIS EVANGELION?
omg thats awesome! hahaha thanks
At least Circle Of Life got someone who sounds like Matthew Brodeick, whereas The Lion Guard has a voice that really... doesn't
Not that I watch Disney Junior shows. Nope. No sirrie.
You sure they got Cam Clarke to do Simba on The Lion Guard?
Which episode has your Deja Vu joke?
Episode Six: Hollywood Studios, in reference to the similar setups of Lights Motors Action and Indiana Jones.
Wonder if Mickey's going to complain about you using Warner Bros. properties for your reviews. :P
Come on, Disney and WB did get together for Roger Rabbit and WB and Disney did distribute "The Prestige".
You kidding. Tea is bea.
Maelstrom is turning into a ride based on frozen
I know.. WHY!?
I've been to the China pavilion and I got ripped off that there were no Jusenkyo springs or Chinese Amazon women, although Mulan was there!
Bambi is Austrian like The T-800
Test track is not a coaster
Right, that's why I favorably contrasted it from one.
pity you didn't see the original Imagination before the version you saw. Though I like this one, the original was way better.
ahahaha oh and if u see this whats the clip from 8:18 from?
