[edit] Future World
[edit] CommuniCore
- The pavilions were renamed to Innoventions in 1994 and everything inside was changed.
[edit] Horizons
The Horizons pavilion opened on October 1, 1983. Guests visiting the pavilion were told "If we can dream it, we can do it." With its look into how the future could be, Horizons has been called a sequel to Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.
Horizons closed on January 9, 1999. It was torn down and replaced by Mission: Space.
[edit] Journey Into Imagination
Journey Into Imagination was a ride that encouraged guests to use their imagination, as led by the characters Dreamfinder and Figment.
- Journey Into Imagination (March 5th 1983 - 1998), This is the original version of the ride, and opened in 1983.
- Journey Into Your Imagination (1999-2001), This version of the ride removed Dreamfinder and downplayed Figment's role. The ride was more closely tied to the film Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (which played in the pavilion's theater), by re-themeing the ride as a trip to the Imagination Institute and casting Eric Idle as his character from the 3D film.
