Thoughts on attractions at Epcot

[jmcross]

After visiting WDW many times, there are still many attractions we have not seen. Any thoughts on Body Wars, Cranium Command, ImageWorks What If Lab, Imagination with Figment? How about any of the movies in the countries? Any in particular that you would recommend?

Thanks,

Joanne

We were just there for Spring Break. Comando Cranium was cool, we all enjoyed that, but just an fyi it is very early 80s (ie hair and clothes and Bobcat Golthwaite as the adrenal gland). Personally I love the 80s. I went on Body Wars with my son...only ride that almost got me woozie, it was a bit much for me. It wasn't the visual images that got to me, it's not gross I felt stirred AND shaken afterwards. It's rougher than Star Tours. My son did love it though. My daughter is a Figment fan so we went on that ride and although there is a bad smell area, it gives you enough of a heads up you can plug your nose and not smell the stinky. It was a cute ride, I wouldn't wait in a long line for it, we had no wait on any ride at Epcot (we didn't try to do the biggies though). I also really enjoyed the El Rio de Tiempo ride inside the Mexican pyramid. I lived in Mexico for awhile in college though so it was alot of things I recognized, kind of nostalgic for me. We spent 4 partial days at Epcot and hit everything we wanted to except for The Universe of Energy, just didn't have time that last day.

Of the ones you mention, Cranium Command is a must-see if you can visit at a time when Wonders of Life is open. Body Wars is similar to Star Tours.

Imageworks and Imagination are not headliner attractions but can be a lot of fun for kids, or for adults who can be kids for a while.

The movies are pleasant and relaxing and I enjoy each of them. But they can wait for a second or third day (or trip), and you may not want to do all of them in one day. Perhaps more interesting than the movies are the various live shows and live entertainment in World Showcase.

It's funny, we did Body wars for the first time as a family last Sunday. The last time I remember it being open I was pregnant with our oldest daughter who turns 10 in June!

Cranium Command - I LOVE that show. I don't exactly know why because its not a fast moving ride, its not even a ride! Haha. There is just something so funny about it! haha..

WhatIf Lab - If that's the lab inside Imagination! pavilion, then its okay. Don't really remember it.

Journey Into Imagination - I like it I guess. It's been a while since I've been to WDW and I don't really remember it, just remember that I liked it.

The countries are great and all but to the younger ones may be boring. I love Future World in Epcot most. Not because of the rides, but by the technology. I'm a techy person.

I know this isn't a movie but the Norway ride is great. I like the American Adventure. I'm into that sort of Mark Twain era when America was very colonial and developing.

When we were there in December we decided for the first time to go on Figment. It was fun, but part of the audio was not working. We told a cm and they rolled their eyes and great, but they did smile about it.
