/* Pavilion History */
{{Quotation|The blueprints unfolded in the snowflakes of winter, then the germinating seeds of springtime, the flowers of summer, and the leaves of the fall. As we observed this never-ending cycle, the balloon soared upward with the flying eagle. "For man alone can learn from nature and can soar with the birds". The ride concluded by flying through all the crystals. When you looked down, you got an overview of the area you would soon be visiting on foot, which was the third part of the show.|Tony Baxter}}

Although fairly well developed, the direction of The Land Pavilion changed in 1978, when the sponsor logging company dropped out and Kraft announced that it would sponsoring the pavilion. Instead of focusing on the earth’s habitats, the focus of The Land now shifted towards agriculture, and how humans cultivate their food. With Kraft as its sponsor now officially in place, the layout of the pavilion itself was also redesigned. The Land Pavilion was reshaped, to look like a glass pyramid or mountain and the entrance was given murals, to represent entering the earth’s core. The new plans also called for The Land to be made up of a boat ride, later named [[Listen to the Land]] and the Harvest Theater, which would show [[Symbiosis]], and environmental film. Originally, The Land Pavilion was also going to feature temporary greenhouses; however it was later decided to permanently incorporate these into Listen to the Land. The final addition to the pavilion came when sponsor Kraft decided that they wanted to include nutritional information in the pavilion. With this in mind, Imagineering created [[Kitchen Kabaret]]- an Audio Animatronic musical revue which featured singing food characters.
