Disney Dish Subscriber Exclusive: WED searches for a transportation tale to tell

by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

about

It’s memo madness as Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of Joseph Mankiewicz’s EPCOT archives. This time around, they look at the extremely loose collection of transportation-related facts & trivia the Imagineers had assembled as they began working on what would eventually become Future World’s “World of Motion” pavilion.

lyrics

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

Why Ward Kimball was the perfect guy to be brought on board Epcot’s transportation pavilion project as a shaper/molder of this proposed Future World attraction

Which major American corporation was the very first to sign on as the sponsor of a Future World pavilion

What was the name of America’s very first one-way street

What did the hand that people typically held their sword in have to do with the U.K.’s decision about which side of the road cars should drive on

Which suggested show scene for Epcot’s transportation pavilion helped inspire the creation of “Soarin’ Over California”
