Epcot consists of two
themed areas, Future World and World Showcase. Future World features
attractions that focus on energy, communication, health, the land
and our environment, the ocean, imagination, transportation and
space exploration. "Spaceship Earth" traces the history of
communication as it evolved over the centuries. The "Universe of
Energy" humorously transports you back to prehistoric times to find
the origin of energy as we know it today.
At the "Wonders of Life", you can find yourself in a fast paced race
inside the human body when you're miniaturized for your journey in
"Body Wars." At "Cranium Command", you'll be treated to a comical
look into the workings of the mind. "Making of Me" is a sensitively
portrayed film of birth. Over at "The Land" Timon, Pumba and Simba
are your hosts at the "Circle of Life" film that deals with the
environment. The "Living With The Land" boat ride takes you on a
fascinating tour of greenhouses and fish-production. "Food Rocks"
has a cast of animatronic Kitchen Karacters who will rock you while
you learn about nutrition.
The "Living Seas" is a 5.7 million gallon aquarium that is home to
thousands of fish including sharks, sea turtles and dolphins.
There's a separate viewing area for those gentle giants, the
Manatees. At "Imagination!" you can take a fun filled look at the
senses on your "Journey Into Imagination With Figment". The terrific
3-D film "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" transports you into the zany
world of that loveable professor Wayne Szalinski, famous for "Honey
I Shrunk The Kids". Test Track" takes you on an unforgettable ride
as you learn about the rigors of auto testing. "Mission Space"
simulates a realistic launch into space as you and your crew pilot
your capsule to Mars.
Centered around a beautiful reflective lagoon is Epcot's "World
Showcase". Eleven countries are represented, each providing
fascinating glimpses into their unique culture. You can sample the
cuisine, shop for native wares and enjoy performances, exhibits,
movies or rides that reflect the heritage of each nation. Strolling
from one land to another, you'll find yourself immersed in the
distinct atmosphere that each country offers.
Every evening Epcot presents "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth".
This spectacular presentation is centered around the World Showcase
Lagoon where fireworks, lasers and dancing fountains combine in a
choreographed display performed to an inspirational musical score. |
