Here’s a quick little video of the Parrot that used to be outside the Pirates of the Caribbean.

It shows a little bit of his banter (though it’s a little difficult to hear), and a bit of him singing the theme song!

Here’s yet another video from my 1988 vacation. This time, we journey to Epcot for an amazing stunt show, located right by Spaceship Earth.

When I first posted this, I was at a loss for what it was. But thanks to the help of EPCOT Explorer (whom I suggest you follow over on Twitter at http://twitter.com/EPCOTExplorer!), I was able to find out more about this show! It was called the Epcot Daredevil Circus Spectacular, and it ran only in 1988 (so lucky me for being there at the right time!). The show itself was performed 4 times a day by two Space cyclists, who would use their motorcycle to race toward Spaceship Earth on a high wire, and perform dazzling feats high above the heads of Epcot’s guests. The Rodriguez Family would also perform trapeze acts all around the sphere.

The show was billed as “The Greatest Show In Space,” and put guests right in the center ring of this eight ring circus high in the sky above CommuniCore.

So now, enjoy some old school Future World entertainment!
