Wondering where the stuffed Figment came from? Why, Epcot Center of course!In 1983 my parents and I, along with Uncle Rick and Aunt Mary, went to Disney World and Epcot Center. I remember Epcot being a gleaming beacon of the future.
Epcot at the time was an honest to goodness slice of the 70's image of what the future might be (even though it opened in 1982). Looking back at it from the perspective of 2008 it kind of seems very, well, kind of dated.
And who remembers Epcot having such a groovy vibe? (See the slide of the mosaic wall.)
Even the name is groovy. Did you know it's an acronymn for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow? I didn't.
Journey Into Imagination, where Figments are born.
