Remember the old Arts and Paints walk through at HWS? It had Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams when HWS was a working studio. That was pretty awesome.
Did you happen to ride AI when it FIRST opened before guests complained and they dumbed it down? You would of peed your pants. It was absolutely incredible.

Yes! we saw it the first weeks it was open and when we went back we all noticed it was not the same. I, too, loved Alien Encounter and I also liked Tim Curry and Jeffrey Jones in the Opening segments.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
If You Had Wings
the ORIGINAL Tiki Birds
HS: wasn't there a monster sound effects show? of am i getting that confused with something originally at Universal. we visited both when they opened. Universal--almost everything was broken and we got our money back.
my family didn't go to Epcot much when i was younger, so i missed a lot of the original rides. i do remember the original Figment and it was SO much better than what they have now.
I miss 20k Leagues, Mr Toad, Alien Encounter (It's my Mother in law!), The Time Keeper, the Journey Pavilion (Ride, Imageworks, etc. It's a shadow of it's former self), The Original Living Sea's preshow. (You know... an actual show with theaming before you hopped on the omnimovers to see the aquarium. though I still find it amusing that if you look in the aquarium you can see the sea-station theaming on the omnimover tunnel).
Cranium Command... (Used to be one of my favorites in EPCOT.)
The Odyssey (ok, not a ride... but I enjoyed eating there)

I used to love the Monster Sound show. I have always been a Martin Short fan though. I remember when we went to Sounds Dangerous for the first time I so missed the old show.
I KNOW! I miss it too. I was telling hubby when we were there in January that they showed Steamboat Willie and the old shows and he sad he never saw it. My son loves "old Mickey" & he would have loved seeing it too.
