Visitor Comments: "I went to Epcot with my family recently and we all loved Mission: Space. It is a simulation of a rocket launch and flying into space. The line moves fast and is in a air conditioned room. Before you ride Mission: Space, you have a choice of the orange or green ride. Orange is more intense than green but my 7 year old brother still loved it. I STRONGLY encourage to go on Mission: Space if you are at Epcot." |

Test Track
| Test Track
Height Restriction: 40 inches Use Fastpass or Single Rider Here Ride Length: 5 minutes General Motors presents this ride featuring a simulation of what it would feel like to ride a car as it goes through a standard test track. The ride has twists and turns, goes through hot and cold weather, and reaches speeds of over 60 mph! This is a great ride, and not too intense for the light of heart. Tip - Due to popular demand, be sure to get a Fastpass early in the morning. Fairly often, Test Track is out of Fastpasses by early afternoon. Tip - Use the single rider line to avoid long wait times. |

Imagination
| Honey, I Shrunk The Audience Use Fastpass Here Show Length: 20 minutes Just as Dr. Wayne Szalinski is about to receive the Inventor of the Year Award for his shrinking machine, an accident occurs and instead of demonstrating how to shrink luggage, Szalinski shrinks the audience. This 3-D show might be too intense for some who do not like snakes, lions, or mice. |
|
| Journey Into Imagination
With Figment Ride Length: about 12 minutes Figment has returned! Ride with Figment through the senses of sight, smell, and sound. Visit Doctor Channing's brightly colored, yet predictable, labs as Figment cautions him to set his imagination free. Figment puts a show-stopping end to conventional behavior. The rest of this open house is thanks to Figment and his best sense - imagination. A wonderful improvement to the last version, but falls short of the original. |
