Ever since 1982 when Disney's Epcot Center first opened, a pavilion sponsored by GE had been planned to tie everything in Future World together as it looks far into the future. A year later, that attraction materialized in the form of Horizons, an omnimover ride visiting the lives of family members through their life in the future. It was nothing less than spectacular and very much beloved by many as it was everything Epcot was meant to be and encapsulated the spirt of Walt Disney himself. However just 11 year later it was closed and only operated seasonally. It was abandoned altogether in 1999 and demolished soon after to make way for Mission Space. So join me today as I find out why Disney demolished one of their best attractions ever.
After much request, today I wanted to take a deeper look into the worlds most famous and iconic children's toy store that became a staple of millions childhoods, only to crumble in 2018. Lets take a look at Toys R Us.

But it's purpose as the new headquarters for the Nickelodeon network, where all future shows like Double Dare, Kenan & Kel, Slime Time live and so many more would be filmed, was quickly becoming unprofitable.

Did I mention it's been under construction outside of New York City for over 20 years? Let's take a look at the infamous and morbidly ambitious, American Dream Shopping & Entertainment Complex.
