Summary

Thanks for downloading WEDWay Radio, a show about Disney history, Disney parks and Touring. This is episode 110 - Lost Epcot Rediscovered

On this episode of WEDWay Radio we take a look at a planned pavilion for Epcots World Showcase that never came to be: Equatorial Africa. Not only was this going to the only pavilion that celebrated the diverse culture of Africa, but it was championed by a 20th century cultural icon, Alex Haley.

In this episode we take a look at the planned attractions and overall design of the pavilion and discuss why it never came to be.
