Photo Memories #13, World of Motion & Journey Into Imagination Preview.

Hello everyone & welcome to my photo memories #13, featuring part one from another Epcot Center classic attraction World of Motion! I hope you enjoy the photos.

I loved the concept of the attraction going outside and back (which it still does today as GM Test Track). The cave people above remind me of the animatronics from the 1964 NY Worlds Fair. Just don't tell GM they were in the Ford Pavilion!

These two figures ended up traveling to Disneyland to become Pirates in the updated 1997 PC re-theming of Pirates of the Caribbean after World of Motion closed in 1996.

The invention of the wheel above. Would you buy a used chariot from this man? Please check back next week as we continue out World of Motion photo tour.

Lately I have been getting a number of emails asking about my next Epcot's 25th Anniversary release. I am currently working on Journey Into Imagination. It will feature multiple vintage ride thrus, full coverage of the original Image Works, a photo slideshow of images from the attraction, the short lived second version plus the updated Image Works, the current version featuring the return of Figment plus much more. Please check back here for more details and release information. Below are some photos of the stars of the attraction! I even had the chance to meet them in person back in 1991 (we all look so young).

As always, if you want to request a future DVD idea, Photo Memory topic or comment on anything, just drop me a line at suggestions@JeffLangeDVD.com.
