about

Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of Joseph Mankiewicz’s EPCOT archives by unearthing WDI’s original proposal for “The Seas” pavilion. Which featured a far more elaborate pre-show / ride-thru experience prior to Seabase Alpha

lyrics

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

How a diving bell attraction that was initially proposed for Epcot’s “Seas” pavilion back in 1978 led to the creation of the hydrolators

What did then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner insist be including as part of the queue space for this Future World attraction

How did the Imagineers want to respond to the animatronic figures that were featured in Universal Studios Hollywood’s “Battle of Galactica” attraction

Which Imagineer created the concept art that then convinced United Technologies that they should sponsor “The Living Seas”

Which real-life naval battles & disasters did Joseph Mankiewicz want to see represented in this Future World pavilion
