about

As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of the Joseph Mankiewicz Epcot archive, they talk about many of the changes that were made to this theme park’s thesis attraction during its development phase. As Mankiewicz pressured the Imagineers to use specific moments from history

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

What two aspects of the Imagineers’ original “Spaceship Earth” pitch wound up being used at Epcot’s “Universe of Energy” pavilion

What did Joseph Mankiewicz suggest could be done to make the telegraph scene in this Future World attraction that much more dramatic

What was the original name for the “American Adventure” pavilion

In what way was “Spaceship Earth” supposed to serve as this theme park’s operations manual

How were Guests originally supposed to transition to that scene in this attraction where they found themselves out in outer space looking down at Planet Earth
