Horizons,
EPCOT Center, Disney World, ca. 1983.
Dedicated
to humanity's future, Horizons opened on October 1, 1983, under
the sponsorship of the General Electric Corporation, as part of
phase II of the EPCOT Center theme park at the Walt Disney World
Resort in Florida.
The pavilion featured an in-depth 15 minute ride-through attraction
that transported guests into an ingenious 21st century of genetically
engineered desert farms, floating undersea cities, and spherical
space colonies. In 1993, General Electrics ten year contract expired,
and the company decided not to renew. The pavilion remained open
until 1994 when it closed. It reopened in 1995 without a sponsor
while a neighboring EPCOT Center pavilion was closed for rehab.
Horizons closed permanently on January 9, 1999.
