Epcot
Offers a Look into
the Not Too Distant Future. . . |
The other half
of Epcot is The World Showcase, a display of the
culture, history and retail goods of eleven countries.
Most of the
attractions here capture your attention by involving
you in the learning experience. Kids are drawn into an
educational adventure and most adults get swept along
too. You're given the opportunity to visit other
places in today's world and then get a glimpse of the
future. (Only backwards because Epcot's main entrance
is in Future World).
Pure adrenaline
fans will probably be disappointed, but you'll never
get a better rush from learning. Where else can see
the human body from the inside? The Body Wars
attraction in The Wonders of Life pavilion is an
exciting motion simulator ride through the human body.
Besides
just rides, you can participate in hands-on
activities. Innoventions lets you check out all the
latest video games, connect to the internet and walk
through the home of the future.
The newest
addition to Epcot is Test Track presented by
General Motors. It's a ride that subjects you to the
testing process for new cars. Look out for the speed
test as you whip around the track at over 50mph!
Epcot is also
the site of the daily IllumiNations show, a fabulous
pyrotechnics and light show that takes place over
World Showcase Lagoon at the park's closing.
