When I was a kid everything futuristic gave me butterflies in my stomach. Rides like Horizons and Spaceship Earth made me feel like I was in a time machine floating through space. Today, as an adult, the future doesn't thrill me in that same curious, eye-widening way. So, to feel that I have to watch old stuff like Flight of the Navigator and Explorers. Sure, I would feel the same feelings again had they kept it intact (in the form of nostalgia), but then it wouldn't be Epcot anymore. Epcot has always been my favorite park but out of the four it's the only one that has to constantly keep changing to meet its goals (except for maybe Hollywood Studios to some degree). The nostalgia-obsessed adult in me mourns the losses but the curiousity-filled kid in me can't wait to see what's next!
