I have to agree with Dominator56 those pictures did bring back memories of cp before it lost all its character and charm. Those were great water rides back then. So much better than what they have now. If its not too late good luck on your finals.

And for those that have the link to my Photo Gallery, I have added a 1982 EPCOT poster map.  More to come when I get some free time this weekend.  Password is no longer required... for now! Ray P.
