Something to Make EPCOT Center Purists Drool

Are you an EPCOT purist? Do you need a bit of a break from Moana Journey of Water walk through videos? Or maybe even something different than the opening of California Adventure's new (sort of) San Fransokyo? Keep reading.

I had something entirely different planned for today, but then this came along... There's a lot of talk about Imagineer Zach Riddley's promotion on the WDWMagic discussion boards. Whether you think Zach has deserved it or not, it's happened. His time of redesigning Epcot has come to an end. But take a look at what the classic EPCOT Imagineers built in real life, in real time. This photograph rocks- and it shows just how clean, crisp, and inviting a real future forward looking Future World could be, taken early into the parks opening years. 

Those Imagineers knew what they were doing! This almost looks like a Herb Ryman concept art come to life. It's from the terrific Futureport 82 site. Is it a photo or a simulation of what was built? They love Classic EPCOT Center over there, so check them out and seek out the answer!
