WHAT is the name of this ride?

[TLM323]

Nine years ago, in Epcot (Future World), I went on the neatest ride ...

If my memory serves me ... you sat 2 to a "car," and your back was basically against the wall. The cars were almost like those on a a Tilt-A-Whirl (half moon shaped), no spinning! The cars moved like a train, but, they pulled you sideways ~ left to right (and around bends). You are looking down (almost hanging over) the "exhibit." It was educational, but AWESOME! You almost felt like your face was pressed up against the glass ... in awe. Ugh! What is the name of it!?!

Is there such a ride???

Gotta be Horizons, no?

 

[justducky78]

Yes - it had to be horizons!

Horizons.... I miss Horizons.

I almost said it looked out on a landscape ... was Horizons like that? Is it gone?

Horizons was replaced by Mission: Space. A tribute to the attraction still lies in the center of the Mission: Space queue's "gravity wheel".

It sounded at first, based on your description, to be "World of Motion".

What is the tribute? Does anyone have a picture of it?

There are two tributes, the first is in the que area on the large wheel, the horizons logo is in the centre and the logo can also be found beneath one of the registers in the gift shop.

 

[dandaman]

Didn't know about the gift shop one. Huh.

Sounds like Horizions.

If you could smell oranges, it was Horizons. If there was an airplane with a cheesy looking guy, that was WOM.

Hmm...I guess the "IN AWE" comment threw me - I don't recall ever being in awe of anything on Horizons...

 

[brkgnews]

Check the ride vehicle picture here and see if that's the vehicle you're talking about. If so, it is, indeed, Horizons.

 

[ThumpersThought]

My guess was Horizons, since you had the scene with the farming robots (or whatever they were called) looking across a countryside and another where you were passed in front of an IMAX screen (my favorite part -- with the crescendo-ing music...)

If you can dream it, then you can do it...

FOR SHAME!!!!!! Just kidding. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Even if it is a BAD opinion!!!! :animwink:

 

[wishiwzthere]

Horizon's:animwink:

I wish I had gotten the chance to ride WOM and Horizons. WOM had already been replaced by TT by my first trip; and Horizons was closed, being prepared to become MS.

 

[TLM323]

Thank you ALL!

Yes, it was Horizons (I checked out the picture!). I'm really sorry to hear that it's gone.



P.S. I am in "awe" of everything Disney.
