This review is from: Walt Disney's Epcot Center: Creating the New World of Tomorrow (Hardcover)

This book offered me a great chance to see EPCOT Center as it was formed and created. It also looks deeply into each of the origanal rides including both Future World and World Showcase areas. The conceptual art work in this book is also increadible. This book also has many photos of the inside and outside of the rides. For the avad fan or for the first timer I suggest this book

5.0 out of 5 stars The best look at how Disney creates theme park magic, June 3, 1998

This review is from: Walt Disney's EPCOT Center: Creating the new world of tomorrow (Hardcover)

I got this book for my birthday in January 1982, the year EPCOT opened. I had memorized every word before my family went in October. This book gives the reader a complete look at how the World's largest construction project at the time was conceived, and built. I'm hoping Disney will release a similar book about its new park AMIMAL KINGODM.

This review is from: Walt Disney's Epcot Center: Creating the New World of Tomorrow (Hardcover)

This is a great book that captures the history of the formation of EPCOT based on concepts that were proposed. Some did not come to fruition. Some were put into place, but have now been replaced by others. This now reads as a history/nostalga book. It is still a fun read. The pictures are beautiful, and the text enjoyable. I have a version that shows ISBN 0810908190 published in 1982, 240 pages as listed here, but has a slightly different cover. I will try to load a photo.
