Clueless Adventurer thinks about the Norway Eptoc fiasco

[clueless adventurer]

I'm sure that you've all heard by now that the Norway pavilion isn't really about Norway and how the Norwegians basically stole the whole thing out from under the Swedes. I think it's a despicable thing and I can tell you that I won't be buying any Norwegian products any time soon, even if I can find them.

Boycott Norway folks! Bring Sweden back to Eptoc, including the Saab dealership.

It's only right!

If they bring in Sweden, will they use Volvos as the new WDW busses?

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Well they have those gorgeous Norwegian sweaters, don't they?

I always appreciated the Norwegian bakery items...yum..hate to see that go

What's an Eptoc?

 

[KevinNYC]

I think Eptoc is the name for that large clock at the Monorail station in EPCOT

 

[clueless adventurer]

I don't think they use the acronym any more, but it used to stand for Enviromentally Perfect Times for Our Children. It used to be all capitalized, but now it's not.

I'm sure that most of you Disney experts here have already noticed this, but the misspelled it when they put the name up next to Spacedship Earth!! I chuckle every time I see that!!

I don't get it

Re: Eptoc ...I had heard once that it also meant Every Person Takes Our Cash at Epcot

Its the sister park to Eptick (the latter was never built due to budget cutbacks).

 

[clueless adventurer]

I think you are right, WDWHound. I should check my files, but I believe I remember that's where they came up with the idea for the Timereaper attraction.

You folks know your stuff!

Shouldn't Captain Hook be on the Norway ride in EpTOC???




Or if it's Sveeeden....how about a blonde ArisTOCrat???

Don't worry Stepharoonie, I'm sure they'll make an exception in your case and have your new official CM uniform made out of pure silk!!!
