The World That Never Was

S1E1: Equatorial Africa

Epcot's World Showcase was to open with a singular African pavilion, but real-world politics and warfare created problems for funding.

S1E2: WestCot

The Disneyland Resort almost got it's own version of Epcot but the city of Anaheim had something to say about it.

S1E3: Noah's Ark

An original idea for Disney's Animal Kingdom would have turned to the biblical story of Noah as a nod to the number of animals that could be seen at the park, but it was ditched for something less confrontational.

S1E4: Disney's America

When the Walt Disney company pitched an idea for an American History themed amusement park near the country's capital, the public didn't want it.

S1E5: Muppet Studios

A deal was made between Jim Henson and the Walt Disney company to bring the Muppets to the Disney theme parks, but his death came too soon.
