about

As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of the Joseph Mankiewicz EPCOT Center archives, they take one last look at the November 1978 memo where Joe sums up what he sees as this theme park’s key problems

lyrics

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

Which scene in Spaceship Earth did Mankiewicz compare to the sacred elephant bathing pool in Disney’s Jungle Cruise attraction

What’s still hidden away in the shadows at the very top of EPCOT Center’s thesis attraction

If the Imagineers were updating the film footage to be shown in Future World, should they consider using images of Ingenuity’s recent flight on Mars

Why were the caveman from Ford’s “Magic Skyway” ride at the 1964 New York World’s Fair never brought back to Disneyland

How long does it take to tour the pool area at Hearst Castle
