That is the great thing about theme parks, there is enough room and enough imagination for everyone

cjpowersUseless historical trivia:  World Expo was originally called Expo Center at the park’s opening.
That is all.  Carry on.  =)

We hope you enjoy this classic adventure into the unknown, relocated from the 1964 New York World Expo! Since the beginning of recorded time, man has searched the cosmos, reaching deep into the secrets of the universe for evidence of life from other galaxies. Are we alone?

From a theme park perspective, WORLD EXPO offered guests a taste of global foods at the International Food and FIlm Festival food court.

My only complaint about Springfield is that the power plant is missing. Even if it was just a mural on the blank side of the Simpsons ride (facing Kwik-E-Mart) depicting the power plant in the distance, it would still be better than a giant blank wall and NO power plant anywhere in town. If they could make it steam out of the top as well, that would be icing on the cake
