Childhood memory Assistance please
I was lucky enough to go to epcot shortly after it opened. We went for the opening of the GM Ride(Before Test Track). OK so here is the memory...
It was a ride with cars simular to Spaceship earth. In part of the ride you came into a room where they talked about living in outerspace or on the moon. It smelled like oranges. In the scene the house was up high Like 2 stories and then on the ground were green houses growing things in space.
We a have an ongoing debate of what the ride was.
Anythoughts??

Well if it is a GM (as in Government Motors) ride then it would have been World of Motion.
However, if the cars are similar to Spaceship Earth, then it would have been Horizons. I don't recall that scene as I was unfortunately too young to remember both attractions.

Well if its Horizons here is a link to a blog you might like. This guy and his friend had sneaked onto the ride and took a ton of pictures (meaning they got out of their vehicles and went onto the actual scenes). It's pretty cool

Are you sure the sponsor was GM and not GE? GE sponsored Horizons. And of the two (World of Motion and Horizons) Horizons was the only one that had the smell of oranges. At least that I can remember.Mamabaminjamin wrote:I was lucky enough to go to epcot shortly after it opened. We went for the opening of the GM Ride(Before Test Track). OK so here is the memory...

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I agree that several attractions are getting mixed. MadEye is right about GE and GM: GE sponsored Horizons, GM sponsored World of Motion (and for those curious, ATT sponsored Spaceship Earth). However, Len90 was wrong about the ride vehicles. World of Motion had ones similar to Spaceship Earth (two rows of two seats), not Horizons (one row, four seats). Spaceship Earth/World of Motion ride vehicles could rotate, Horizons did not. Spaceship Earth/World of Motion had the track below the vehicles, Horizons was above/behind.
Orange smell - Horizons
Living in outerspace - Horizons
Growing food - in the dessert, Horizons, but in space, the Land
In Horizons, the house was a separate scene from the fields or citrus being grown in the desert, not one above the other.

I honestly barely remember anything from both attractions. I was only able to ride both once when I was six. I did further research into this and you are correct in what you have posted. Thanks a lot Mindflipper for all that comparison information. It shows I have to use my last week of break to brush up on my extinct Disney attraction knowledge.mindflipper wrote:I agree that several attractions are getting mixed.

Six years old, eh? I think we can forgive you for the faulty memory, Len90. Unlike you, I have riden both Horizons and World of Motion many, many times as I was not quite so young at the time...
...however, I would rather be your age than my age anytime...
but I guess its better to be "ancient" than "extinct" as those ride are now.

It's definitely Horizons. One of the best attractions ever.
