From
the late 1790s to around 1830, American public architecture
was designed from a mixture of styles, including English
Georgian---developed during the reign of King George
III--which captured the spirit of the American Revolution.
The
American Adventure combines Georgian-style classic buildings
in what is intended as a people's mansion and includes
examples from
Williamsburg, Independence Hall, the Old State House in
Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.
The
American Adventure is also a multi-media
presentation that tries to capture the essence of American
history. Disney uses huge movable sets, film clips and
animatronic depictions of significant historical figures
like Ben Franklin to make history (almost) literally spring
to life.
The
American Adventure is the ultimate in EPCOT's
"Learning is fun" attractions, but that means you
can count on it to be entertaining for everyone. The
animatronic figures are eerily accurate and keep the smaller
children enthralled. Although the presentation is 30 minutes
in length, there are no dull moments. In the afternoon heat,
you'll probably wish that this seated, air-conditioned
attraction was longer.
