In an attempt to keep up with changing technology, these attractions are regularly closed and replaced with more modern fare. But the extinct rides of Epcot's past are all fondly remembered by the generations who grew up with them. We thought it'd be fun to look back at five of the park's past visions of the future.

originally stood for
"Experimental Prototype
Community of Tomorrow") meet
multicultural reverence, with a
huge section of the park devoted

futurism, where, for the price
of admission, visitors can spend
the day exploring contrasting
and often unrealistic visions of
the world to come.
