Horizons
opened on October
1, 1983 and sadly
closed on January
9, 1999. In this
window of time
it only began
to enter the era
of digital photography
where it's now
possible to snap
everything with
zero processing
costs, thereby
creating a valuable
record of things
we see that would
otherwise only
live on in our
memories.
Unlike
other Disney and
Epcot attractions
that have a prolific
number of tribute
videos and photo
galleries which
are added to daily
with every park
visit, Horizons
photos are comparatively
rare. And there's
no opportunity
to take any more...
In 2005 a pin
badge was released
to commemorate
the attraction.
Mickey seems to
be sitting in
a Doom Buggy from
the Haunted Mansion,
but it's the thought
that counts.
There were a handful
of GE cast members
who worked the
Horizons attraction.
They did not wear
the normal nametag
that the rest
of the WDW cast
members wore.
