Join the Imagineers on a behind the scenes look at what it took to bring to life the largest animatronic show of all time, The American Adventure. Let's peek behind the curtain as we watch this 1987 Disney Channel special hosted by Lloyd Bridges called Backstage Disney: The American Adventure and take an inside look at the creation of this classic EPCOT Center attraction. Also, keep an eye out near the start of the show. You will see the camera pull back as we take in the large Imagineering model of Epcot Center. If you blink you might just miss a couple of major additions depicted in this scene that features some concept attractions that never made it to the Park. Long-time fans may recall that during the Disney Decade of the 1990s, plans were announced to build a replica of Japan’s Mount Fuji in World Showcase, as well as a new Switzerland Pavilion featuring the Matterhorn.
