EPCOT World of Motion Visitor's Handbook from 1986

[Rollertoaster]

I found this in my stash of randomness.. from my first visit to WDW back in 1986. I was only a tot then, but I remember bits of this trip. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of World of Motion, which is a pity because it is fascinating how much this pavilion has changed in the metamorphosis into Test Track. For those who weren't around to see it, WoM used to have an educational dark ride using Omnimovers, much like Spaceship Earth still is. Much of the rest of the building was the Transcenter, where General Motors (the sponsor of the pavilion then as well as now) displayed their latest products and technologies.

 

Most of the pamphlet showcases GM vehicles, but the second page and the back cover show the pavilion. Not much info on the pavilion, but I thought it worth posting for posterity's sake anyway. There are some on ride videos of World of Motion on Youtube. (not mine)

Back when it was EPCOT Center. That is the Aero 2000 concept car.

The map is fascinating. I just wish it showed the ride's path through the building

Wow! back when the Astro was kind of new!

"We Build Excitement"- not anymore

Another extinct brand

Buick is now a bestselling brand... in China.

The new Cadillacs look so much better!

Photos of the pavilion. The top one is a scene from the ride.
