Hmph.
It’s shows like this, the Imagineering story, etc that will keep me subscribed to D+. I love the behinds the scenes stuff.
Can’t wait for a sneak peak of Play!, Mary Poppins and SSE!
Any possibility they include the full Luminous show with source audio? Lol. One can hope.
What, is this going to be like a Ken Burns documentary where the imagineers write notes on how slow the progress was by planting trees for 4 years only to accomplish pretty much nothing?

Why? You can hear it now on youtube..
In the 20th century, I was an avid annual subscriber to the National Geographic Society.

If I'd know they would later breathlessly detail the decline and fall of a once great theme park, I might have reconsidered.

Perhaps they should just bring back Epcot Magazine instead..I would rather watch that..

I believe thats the same bassless recording that others were talking about in the other thread. Regardless I’m sure that’s the best we are going to get for awhile.
Wow, this is pathetic. They are trying to drum up excitement to make it seem like they changed everything at Epcot... What did they actually do? They renamed an area into three different areas, put in some pipes to make water squirt, put up a bit of monstrosity of a boxed-shaped building with a roller coaster in it, and planted a few trees in the middle of the park. Oh, and tried twice (and failed, I might add) to recreate/replace what was a perfect water-born fireworks show. All of these efforts simply removed and replaced what was true innovation and imagination. All this while Universal builds an entirely new park. ---- I think Disney is using the force to play Jedi mind tricks with this documentary. (Waving a hand over my face); "This is the Epcot you were looking for...."

That was a different one, this one actually has bass to it and sounds really good!

This says it all. Best post ever.
I'm guessing because this is NatGeo that it's supposed to be a documentary but given the subject, I'm inclined to think it's going to be a dark comedy.
Years ago NatGeo was good --gave up my sub long ago-- NatGeo has got the way of Disney---down hill

Honestly What's with the Title? BECOMING....What? Stangnant? To the people that think this was a good idea to do this. I, and the many many people say..
