Help me remember an Epcot attraction from the mid '80s

I did ellen for the first time braving it for my daughter that was never on it.. I have to say a 20 year gap in riding it and it was lightly entertaining.. I also found the dinosaurs more interesting after learning on connecting with walt they are the original dinosaurs from the worlds fair that walt built..

never again though and it was funny to have many many many warnings to not stay on the ride if you don't want to be stuck for 45 minutes... the cast members were almost begging everyone to get off it.
 
I also blend these two rides in my memory. I swear when we are at the Good Turn (now Garden Grill), we rotated through the dinosaur diorama. Additionally, for at least a couple of trips I wondered what happened to the scene in spaceship Earth where they were trying to figure out what wheel shape worked best. What happened was that the scene was from World of Motion, not SE.

Off-to-the-side of the topic: I miss the "Listen to the Land" song. It would be cool if it was brought back to the ride in some way. Bonus if they brought back the live guides. Also, we are going in September and using Energy as an air conditioning/nap break for my dino-loving toddler. Epcot is a 2-day park for us, even with a 2-year old, though we usually hop to/from it.
