Stars And Stripes Forever in CommuniCore East.

Status: Lost

CommuniCore was a pavilion in Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center in 1982 created by the Sperry Corporation, the pavilion was divided into two buildings, that being CommuniCore East and West. These two semi-circular buildings housed various areas that focused on different things such as energy and computing. Since it's closing in January of 1994 and conversion into Innoventions, much of CommuniCore's original media is now lost. Much of CommuniCore relied on interactive computer programs, video, and photographs, all of which are now missing aside from footage of these during the attraction's period.
