Future World Pavilions
Here's a brief overview of the nine pavilions that make up Epcot's
Future World.
Spaceship
Earth
When you enter the Epcot through the main entrances, you'll walk
right under Spaceship Earth. It is the large geodesic dome that
is the symbol of Disney's Epcot theme park. Spaceship Earth features
a ride inside to the top of the dome, and an interactive play area
with lots of entertaining activities for kids and grownups too!
Innoventions
East & Innoventions West
These matching areas are the first two pavilions you'll encounter
after you pass Spaceship Earth. These pavilions both feature a glimpse
into the future, highlighting emerging technologies like robots
in a way that's interesting to kids.
Universe
of Energy
The Universe of Energy Pavilion helps kids learn about energy and
natural resources. The tour is hosted by Ellen DeGeneres and features
a short ride.
Mission:
SPACE
This space simulator features both a regular and a 'light' version.
The original (regular) version simulates the extreme G-forces felt
during a space launch. The 'light' version is the same attraction
without the centrifuge to create the G-forces.
Test
Track
This attraction will teach you a lot about automotive design and
engineering- while you're waiting in line! There are numerous displays
sponsored by General Motors that will provide some background that
will enhance your ride experience.
Imagination
The Imagination Pavilion is a short diversion from the excitement
of some of the other pavilions, but will still keep you entertained
for an hour or so. The Honey, I Shrunk the Audience attraction is
here, as is the Kodak ImageWorks area. At Kodak ImageWorks, pose
for a digital picture and the use image editing tools to add cool
(and crazy) special effects.
The
Land
The Land Pavilion features the highlight of all highlights at Epcot
(and all of Walt Disney World for that matter) Soarin'. This hang
gliding simulation will have you truly amazed as you absorb the
sights, sounds, and scents of the California scenery. You'll also
find Living with the Land and The Circle of Life attractions here-
both of which are worthy of a visit.
The
Seas
Learn about our friends living underwater in The Seas pavilion.
The highlight of The Seas is Turtle Talk with Crush, an interactive
feature that encourages audience participation. You can talk to
the animated turtle, 'Crush', and he responds to you too!
