just found this blog that is all about the 1980's futuristic Epcot ride HORIZONS
http://mesaverdetimes.blogspot.com/
before it was closed in the 90s, these dudes jumped out of their cars multiple times and walked around inside the ride and and explored it thoroughly while shooting lots of photos and videos:

that shit would just weird me out.
like I couldn't be the guy who dusts off abraham lincoln's cheekbones, knowing some prankster would flick the switch and make his eyeballs wink at me.
I think it's the America exhibit at Epcot where an anthromatic Teddy Roosevelt on a horse appears for a robotic look at the beginnings of the 20th Century. All I can think about is the hole those robots went down into and how they just sit there motionless until the next time they rise up into the sunrise.

^^ yep. Teddy and Audobon have a heated exchange.

Meanwhile this blog analyses the twilight in which American cuisine lived for most of the seventies and eighties.

is pluto playful waving his ear, or is he surreptitiously making the "hanged man" gesture as a way of mocking larry's fatal ignorance?

Was it Disney that used to have the ad of the parents becoming children so by the end of the ad, the mom was a little girl standing next to her son?

placentas are interred underneath the park entrance's statue of Mickey and Walt iirc

thanking u thread, i have stopped wondering where in the park i would have a baby and have moved on to "where in the park would i hide the placenta."

Two things I can't forgive: Cheney authorizing torture and Disney tourists in August tearing into turkey legs.

a lot of people think the "haunted mansion" is childish and not very scary...but what if i told you that one of those old-fashioned trunks in the attic was literally packed with human placentas
― techno pink (reddening), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
what if I told you it was packed with 200-year-old turkey legs

Haunted Mansion rules, fuiud
― Moodles, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
the placenta and turkey legs are just the icing on the cake, to mix my metaphors a bit...
i love the haunted mansion too! but you gotta admit that if piles of human and/or turkey flesh were just kind of heaped everywhere throughout it would really take it to the next level

i'm going to give the artist the benefit of the doubt and assume that's meant to be a whimsical dr. seuss-style horn instrument, and not the tentacle porn it so strongly resembles

Three days until I'm in Disney World! I am a little excited, obv., and I think I'm going to eat at Boma! Flavors of Africa and the gardeny food place in Epcot for my meals.

Be sure to sample those South African wines.

i saw it on the vintage disney tumblr, but it looks like it was originally posted on this blog. taken in 1988?

disney changes "water-spouting fish" ride element because the piece of plastic going in and out of the fish's mouth looks too phallic. what is it with "the little mermaid" and phalluses, damn.

just got back this morning - i'll aim to update later. had a great time, really loved epcot and animal kingdom. watched disney vets do gut surgery on a goat at the, err 'conservation station' and ate the best buffet food of my life at animal kingdom lodge. wish i'd stayed at the lodge, actually...

the fantasyland expansion looks very lovely, but it meant that the MK was greatly reduced. the new art of animation resort looks really amazing, also.
― fka snush (remy bean), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
what do you mean reduced -- it's smaller?
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. a lot of real estate has been taken over in the building of 'storybook circus.' it's hard to know what to expect – a very odd forced-perspective beauty and the beast castle is rising out of rocks installed behind constuction panels.
― fka snush (remy bean), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
when I went in February it looked like a physical expansion of Fantasyland not a foreshortening -- ugh.
