When guests visit Walt Disney World, they love to spend the majority of their time exploring the four theme parks. Epcot is home to amazing attractions, entertainment, dining, and shopping for guests to enjoy. While all of those experiences are amazing, guests who visit Epcot love to enjoy its thrilling and classic attractions. Epcot attractions can offer up experiences like diving into the seas with characters from Finding Nemo, traveling back in time, learning about the land, designing unique cars, and hang gliding over beautiful locations from around the world. While there are plenty of attractions to be enjoyed in Epcot, there are several which are so awesome that they cannot be missed while spending time in the park. Here are the six best headliner attractions to enjoy while spending time in Epcot.
6 – Spaceship Earth
Guests who enter Epcot can’t miss Spaceship Earth as it is housed in a huge geodesic dome that is covered in thousands of futuristic silver panels shaped like triangles. The attraction housed inside the structure features the same name and brings guests from the beginning of time to the modern-day to celebrate the history of communication. Spaceship Earth features many different scenes that depict essential moments in the history of communication using audio-animatronics and props to recreate the burning of Rome, the Renaissance, and the invention of the personal computer. No visit to Epcot is complete without a ride on Spaceship Earth.
5 – Test Track Presented by Chevrolet
Editor’s Note: Test Track is currently closed for reimagining and will reopen in 2025!
Another popular attraction is Test Track Presented by Chevrolet invites guests into the design studio where they can create their very own SIM cars and then test them on the track in Efficiency, Power, Responsiveness, and Capability. With a series of tests and a final thrilling loop around an outdoor portion of the track at high speeds, Test Track Presented by Chevrolet is a fun and thrilling attraction that guests love to enjoy while spending time in Epcot.
4 – Soarin’ Around the World
One of the most popular attractions in Epcot can be found on the lower level of The Land Pavilion. Soarin’ Around the World invites guests to an experience like no other. Guests can let their feet dangle as they take to the skies and enjoy beautiful and unique views of amazing places from around the world, like the Great Wall of China. Since Soarin’ Around the World is such a unique and thrilling attraction, it is very popular with guests and generally tends to have long wait times on busy days in Epcot.
3 – Frozen Ever After
The Norway Pavilion in World Showcase is home to a very popular attraction in Epcot. Frozen Ever After replaced fan-favorite the Maelstrom and has been generally received with rave reviews about the absolutely fantastic animatronics, music, and theming of the ride. You’ll celebrate an extraordinary “Summer Snow Day” with Queen Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristof, and more. Your journey begins in Arendelle, and you’ll be whisked away to Troll Valley and North Mountain, Queen Elsa’s ice palace before you return to the Bay of Arendelle to conclude the celebration. It’s a fun attraction that is still very popular!
2 – Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
The recently expanded France pavilion includes the family-friendly Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, where guests feel as if they are shrinking to the size of a rat and race through Gusteau’s restaurant. After entering the theater, guests eventually find themselves on the rooftops of Paris, where Gusteau invites them to join Remy for a special meal the “Little Chef” is creating. They board colorful rat-shaped vehicles and then don 3D glasses to begin their adventure, seeing everything from a “rat’s-eye view.” Imagineers worked with Pixar artists to create animated 3D scenes that feel as if the film has come to life right before guests’ eyes, blending with oversized sets to provide an immersive environment full of sights, sounds, smells, and other effects celebrating “Ratatouille.”
1 – Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
It’s time to save the galaxy. Now open at EPCOT, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is now the best attraction at the park, dare we say, in all of Walt Disney World. The new family-thrill coaster matches the “grandosity” and fun of the blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, featuring those legendary cosmic outlaws – Rocket, Groot, Drax, Gamora, and Star-Lord (a.k.a. Peter Quill). Located in the park’s newly renamed World Discovery neighborhood, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the first “other-world” showcase pavilion at EPCOT. Xandarians traveled from their homeworld in the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth – or Terra, as they call it – to create the Wonders of Xandar pavilion, inviting EPCOT guests to learn more about their people and their advanced technologies. That is … until something goes wrong, and the Xandarians call the Guardians of the Galaxy for help. The attraction is amazing, and fans are raving about it. Do note that anyone who suffers from motion sickness should proceed with caution. Learn more about the attraction by reading our review here.
