This was my favorite DisneyWorld ride! I just came across a video of how much they changed it, and it absolutely broke my heart. Thank you for posting this, it brings back really excellent childhood memories.

In one room, there was a hidden Mickey icon disguised as island off New Zealand.

When the ride was like this, there was always a line outside the building. Now, there is NEVER any line at all. They really messed this one up with the stupid changes. What was Disney thinking? Did the Imagineers have a brain fart?

@stadalberts All of this was for the larger change of Future World of Epcot. When they changed over the 3D Movie from Captain EO to the HISTA, they wanted to tie in the Imagination Institue into the attraction. They Stated working on the design in 1977 and because of the ride system was so complex it was the last pavilion to open in Future World in 1982. Cast member preview didn't start until December of that year. check the link in the discription for the full answer.

thank you SO much for putting up this video. They NEVER should have changed it and the current one is so lame compared to this one. I remembered some but this video brought it all back!! Thanks so much!!!....and yeah, the cool stuff after the ride was WAY WAY better too!

@monica80791 I agree. While I personally like the new ride just fine, I never went on the "Journey Into YOUR Imagination" version, and I think THIS looks like a lot of fun! To bad they got rid of it........

Damn it Disney, WHY did you have to remove this version?

[alexsgirl74]

@AdrenalineAddict610 I know! The new version really leaves something to be desired. Why change something that worked so well?

[Nsyncdiva420]

@alexsgirl74 @AdrenalineAddict610 Girls!! I agree! usually Disney changes for the best but nooo this ride should have stayed the same and so should the arcade room they had!

[CaptainCretaceous91]

@AdrenalineAddict610 Oh well. At least the new one has Eric Idle in it. ;)
