Epcot World Showcase end BROLL - TPMvids - / @tpmvids
Welp per usual, I feel the need to make a few corrections based on comments and acknowledge a few blunders in the narration as well:
Does anyone else think that thanks to Covid-19, in ten years we’re going to be watching a video talking about how the world showcase was going see further expansion with a Mary Poppins ride that never came to be?
Man, it's hard to believe how many concepts were created for Epcot, but were ultimately abandoned. The rides that were canned seem really cool, and it would've made the park more well rounded in terms of rides. Since most of the rides rest in Future World. Thanks a bunch for providing this info to us, Yesterworld!
It's 3 months into 2022 and we still don't have "The History of Walt Disney's Frozen Head". Please actually do it Mark. It is time.
i love epcot, its probably my favorite disney park, but at the same time it makes me so sad to see them get rid of/abandon so many culturally oriented rides just to fall back on their own ips. sort of takes away what was so special about epcot
Epcots history sounds like the definition of procrastination.
“This may date the video.” Well, quite possibly, or those other attractions could also fall through continuing the legacy of World Showcase promising and not delivering.
I remember eating in the Norway pavilion. At the table they had these butters in the shape of Mickey Mouse. I cut of his head to which our waitress responded “what are you doing to Mickey Mouse”.
SECRET. SWISS. BOBSLED. TRAINING. FACILITY.
Wow, imagine if disney kept building new pavilions and attractions in epcot as opposed to constantly renovating and updating stuff that was already fine to begin with.
Well I haven't seen the video yet but I already know it's going to be top-notch quality.
Disney: we're working on a USSR pavilion
I really like the idea of Godzilla accepting a lifetime achievement award simply for being a giant monster
The Epcot version of Matterhorn sounds like it would have been insane, and super fun. I feel like they kept the Mt Fuji concept in their back pocket and eventually turned it into Expedition Everest with the whole giant monster in the rollercoaster idea.
Nearly every video I've seen about Disney parks has one running theme: Bad Budgeting. Great work on the video!
It's interesting that the Swiss ride includes high tech underground bunkers, because Switzerland IS riddled with underground bases, shelters, and airbases.
I hope one day they could add another pavilion. Maybe an India pavilion with a jungle book ride or a Greece pavilion with a Hercules ride.
The World Showcase curse continues....

What I think Disney learned from Epcot is they can't rely on sponsors any more for their attractions. Never seems to work out for them in the short term and long run
