by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

subscriber exclusive

about

As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their deep dive into the Joseph Mankiewicz EPCOT archives, they describe the version of “Listen to the Land” that the Imagineers wanted to build back in 1978. Which had some significant deviations from the Future World attraction that opened in October of 1982.

lyrics

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

How the one-inch-to-one-foot scale model WDW’s never-built “Western River Expedition” attraction impacted “The Land” scenic boat excursion

Which sequence from Disney’s 1940 animated feature, “Fantasia,” influenced the “Symphony of the Seed” sequence in “Listen to the Land”

How “Listen to the Land” ended with a variation on WDI’s now-standard ride construction template (i.e. always have the Guests exit through the gift shop)

What is the 143 foot-long / 9-foot-high mural in the load / unload area of “Listen to the Land” made up off

What sort of operational changes did WDW make at “The Land” in 1993 to help lower the operational costs of this Future World pavilion
