Tribute to Epcot's Horizons

Wonderful, nostalgic gallery of pix of the sadly defunct Horizons attraction from Epcot Center, originally sponsored by GE. The gimmick of Horizons (which really wowed me when I was there in opening month as an impressionable nine-year-old) was that the finale was user-choosable: the three passengers in the ride vehicle would use a futuristic touchpad to vote on whether they wanted to see an animatronic diorama about life in space, on the ocean floor, or on earth, and your vehicle (which bore more than a passing resemblance to the ride-vehicles for the 1939 Futurama exhibit from the NYC World's Fair — the grandaddy of all dark-rides) would signal the ride with the appropriate decision.
