The best Horizons tribute video I've ever seen is on Youtube!
I hope it's okay for me to post this here. Go to Youtube, and type "horizons true to ride tribute" into the search bar. It's separated into three different parts. It's an awesome way to relive the experience of Horizons for those of us who rode it years ago, and it's also a great way for those who never rode it to see why it receives high praise. I got chills watching it because it brought back so many wonderful memories. I had remembered it very fondly, but seeing it again made me realize that I had somewhat forgotten the amazing experience that it provided. I'm a little sad because the reality that no one will ever ride it again resurfaced in my thoughts, but at least fans are still keeping its memory alive.

I've often wondered why Disney doesn't do this sort of thing themselves. Is there a business reason why they don't go out of their way to document and otherwise preserve the memory (and physical pieces) of retired attractions?

When I was at EPCOT earlier this month, I was very tempted to try and take the Horizons butler robot from the exhibit on old EPCOT near the Ice Station Cool....

Thanks for posting. Seeing Horizons again brings back great memories ... One of the reasons Epcot became my favorite park after my first visit.

Pretty good. It varies from video to video.
For most of them, they try to include as much audio and atmospheric stuff as possible. Most of them have interviews with the Imagineers. For the actual ride video, it seems to be home videos that they either took themselves, or got from someone else.
At least in the Journey into Imagination one, they show ALOT of the family. But otherwise, they're as close as you can get to riding them.

They have previews for a lot of their videos on their website. I have the history of Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and COP DVD's and they are all fantastic quality! I will def' get more in the future. The Tiki story one looks good...
Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

1) I viewed the video.
2) I felt like Mr Peabody, without Sherman.
3) Sure brought back memories.

I see I romanticized this ride a lot from when I rode it as a kid (probably haven't been on it in 20 years).
It's incredibly layered and detailed, but I could see how the general public might find it a little, how should I say....lameucational?

Ok, so I never went to Epcot as a child...we went in 1975. I was deprived!! It wasn't opened yet.
So I watched the videos on youtube. Yes I thought they were cool. Now, here is my question. What did they do w/ all that stuff? I mean the scenes and stuff? Did they tear it down?? Or put it somewhere for 'later'????????????? Did they ever plan on using any of it again?? TIA for any info! Now I am curious.....

Thank you so much for the link.
Oh, this brings back fond memories. Horizons was a great favorite. It was one of the last attractions I rode with my late DF. It was a nasty shock to return to Epcot, some years later, just as the building was being torn down.
This tribute brought back the visceral reactions I had to this ride growing up. The shock wave from the launch of the Space Shuttle, the humorous moments like the floating boot, and the wide-eyed excitement of seeing future possibilities never really left me. So, thank you for jogging the old memories with this tribute.
