October
1, 1982 (Original Pavilion) |
| Origins: |
The American Adventure
was one of the nine original World Showcase
pavilions, opening in 1982 with the rest of
EPCOT. |
| Updates: |
The pavilion was
renamed the United States Pavilion in the early
1990s, but went back to its original
name, the American Adventure, in 2005.
In 1993, the show was renovated to include
updated Audio-Animatronics figures, re-recorded
audio
tracks and an inspirational new
ending
("Golden Dreams") which added events
from 1945 through the present.
In mid-2007, about 45 seconds of footage
were added to the end of the Golden Dreams
montage. Selecting
which events and icons to use proved to
be a tough assignment for the Imagineers. To get a
fresh perspective, the Imagineering team contacted
a noted historian from George Washington
University,
who recruited
13 graduate students from his American History
department for a semester-long assignment to help
with the updating of the film. New additions include
Michelle Kwan, Tiger Woods, the firefighters
who raised the flag at the World Trade Center's
ground zero, Muhammad Ali carrying a torch at the
1996 Olympics, and former Presidents George H.W.
Bush and Bill Clinton working together on tsunami
relief. |
