EPCOT Theme Park Orlando Florida February 2019
Epcot is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, as EPCOT Center, and was the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World, after the Magic Kingdom. Spanning 305 acres, more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park, Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "permanent world's fair". In 2018, Epcot hosted 12.444 million guests, ranking it as the fourth-most-visited theme park in North America and the seventh-most-visited theme park in the world. The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere.
There is an automotive testing ride which was redesigned in 2012. It doesn't just run you through Chevrolet's testing procedures for new cars. It lets you design an experimental car of your own, and then loads those specs into the ride to see how your car performs. What follows is one of the fastest rides at any Disney park, with your test car blasting around the track and responding to various hazards. Test Track isn't just frenetic fun, it adapts Epcot's original educational mission into a mainstream appeal.
Originally based on the Soarin' Over California ride from Disney's California Adventure, Epcot's Soarin' has followed the original's lead and swapped out its California-based film with one that tours the world. It still uses a massive movie screen and an seating arrangement to simulate the sensation of hang gliding over the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Harbour. This is an incredible illusion that is thrilling and highly recommended. The World Showcase is also extremely fun, it has some of the best attractions, from the boat ride in Mexico to the massive films in France, Canada and China, are worthy of your time to stop-by.
