? About rides in Epcot

[TiggerPiglet]

I see that Future World closes generally 2 hours before the World Showcase. Does anyone know if the rides like Test Track, Soaring and Mission Space stay open as late as the World Showcase or do they close early with Future World?

Thanks

The 3 major rides do in fact stay open.

Yep, they sure do stay open.

Mission: Space, Soarin, Spaceship Earth and Test Track all stay open until 9pm on regular nights. Everything else in Future World closes at 7pm.

Cool... I needed to know that also! Thanks for the info! That helps out my planning, since we only have a 1/2 day at Epcot.

(Does this mean that those rides don't have as long of lines in the evenings? ... I know, I know, you don't want to give away secrets... but... )

The line for SE is rarely long in the evenings anyway. MS was a walk on when I was there last Nov (Jersey Week). TT was crowded til 9 and Soarin was not open yet. Fastpasses are still distributed so I would suggest getting a fast pass for TT and then rotate from Soarin, MS and SE until it matures.

Just noticed becfher, that you have 33 days to go. We have 36 days to go. Let's dance!!

Last time we went, we planned to go back later for TT (we'd got a fast pass earlier in the day) - the fast passes had run out long before and the line time was over the closing time for the park so we didn't bother!!

 

[caribear]

Sometimes fastpasses for Soarin' run out by noon!! Test Track fastpass will also run out by 6pm on a busy day. I would not guarantee a short wait at either of these attractions late in the evening as I think most people have the same idea...thinking lines will shorten right before park closing. These are two attractions that you should ride as soon as you enter the park in the AM.

Thanks everyone

Since World Showcase doesn't close til 9:30 pm in December because of the CP, does that mean the Future World rides that normally stay open til 9 also close at 9:30?

If WS remains open until 9:30 then the FW attractions (Spaceship Earth, TT, Soarin, and MS) will also remain open until 9:30pm.
I agree that FP for TT (and I understand Soarin) run out frequently early in the afternoon. Test Track does have a single rider line so use it if you can. I know in the Studios they re-open some of the FP machines for the evening EMH. If they do the same in Epcot be at the machine as soon as the EMH starts.

Being so new, Soarin always had a line when we were there 2 weeks ago. It was one of the few rides, in any park that had really long lines. Hope this helps.
