about
As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of the Joseph Mankiewicz EPCOT Center archives, they share a November 1978 memo where Joe tells the Wizards of WED exactly what his concerns are when it comes to this very ambitious project.
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
Why -- by the Fall of 1978 -- the Imagineers were already limited as to what they could then do when it came to The Land & Transportation pavilions
The dangers of making EPCOT Center a showcase for new technology
Why Mankiewicz felt that it was essential that EPCOT Center not be seen as a super-sized Disneyland or a permanent world’s fair
How Joseph wanted the Imagineers to place just as great an emphasis on what EPCOT Center was saying as they did on how WDW’s second theme park looked
Why the Imagineers probably wished they got this memo from Mankiewicz in 1976, rather than 1978
Why -- by the Fall of 1978 -- the Imagineers were already limited as to what they could then do when it came to The Land & Transportation pavilions
