Priceless film

This is a great video for early Horizons footage. It starts out as a 1978 film but the portion on Horizons is from a later film.

At 2:35 Horizons steals the show with it's amazingly corny song. Glad it didn't make the cut.

At 2:59 There's a sweet shot of an early version of the Diving Class scene. Underwater safety is no joke.

At 3:05 A dolphin would have been cool near Sea Castle but our seal friend did just fine. Look to the right of this frame. "swimming" Audio-Animatronic figures?! Was that replaced by the film clip of the diving class? I would gave rather seen AA's.

At 3:45 Paul Torrigino lending his incredible artistic skill to a model of the France Pavilion.

I would love to see all of the Horizons concept art and models.

Just in Time For The Holidays!

Mesa Verde Times pal, Casey, sends us these delicious offerings:

"Howdy again. This is probably on your radar already, but I just today
realized that some of the crazy apples are in Innoventions - I took
the below picture today."



"This is inside of some weird fridge of tomorrow or something display.
If you hadn't seen it before, there you go. If you had, promptly
ignore me."

We hadn't seen it for sure as we don't go to Epcot anymore. Here's another from Casey from the newly re-opened "One Man's Dream" Exhibit

Now we have a reason to visit Hollywood Studios! Thanks, Casey!
