Although still listed active in FAA records as recently as September 2010,[1] this facility closed for theme park use in 1992, when Surprise in the Skies ended. The land sat unused for nearly 10 years, when it was cleared for the second phase of Disney's Pop Century Resort, named the Legendary Years. Construction on the hotel was stopped after the September 11 attacks caused tourism to drop off.
The former airport is now the site of Disney's Art of Animation Resort, which opened in May 2012.
Facilities and aircraft
Epcot Center Ultralight Flightpark had one circular runway designated "ALL/WAY" with a 424 × 424 ft (129 × 129 m) turf surface. There were 20 aircraft based at this airport: 50% single-engine and 50% ultralight.[1]
