The Epcot Seas Aqua Tour

The Seas Aqua Tour allows Guests to swim on the surface of the 5.7-million-gallon saltwater tank inside The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion at Epcot theme park. Guests use a supplied-air snorkel system and do not need to be scuba certified.Guests must be at least 8 years of age to participate. Guests ages 8 to 12 must be accompanied by a paying, participating parent or guardian. Swim with over 6,000 sea creatures representing over 60 species—including sea turtles, angelfish, eagle rays and sharks. The supplied-air snorkel system is simple to use and the equipment keeps you buoyant, so it is easy to float on top of the water. The system does not allow you to dive below the surface, but you'll have a remarkable view of the tranquil sea life below you. The experience lasts 2.5 hours, and Guests will spend approximately 30 minutes swimming in the massive Caribbean Coral Reef aquarium—which until 2005 was the largest saltwater tank in the world. Participants also learn about many of these beautiful creatures and get to see the massive backstage infrastructure required to filter and maintain a vast man made ocean flourishing with life. All snorkeling equipment is provided. Please bring a swim suit. You can get a closer look at some remarkable aquatic mammals on the Dolphins in Depth tour. If you are a certified scuba diver and wish to dive below the surface of the tank, you may be able to participate in the Epcot DiveQuest program. The Epcot® Seas Aqua Tour is presented by the National Association of Underwater Instructors.

Summit Plummet

Reviewed By Kavo85 - Dublin, Ireland

Really enjoyed my experience on the Summit Plummet. The climb to the top is defo worth the experience of flying down the slide in freefall. This is one of the only slides ive ever been on that really took my breath away. I also thought it took the back side out of my swim shorts though fortunately not the case. Just a wedgie!!! I had my glasses and shades with me but you would be better off leaving any extra items in your locker or with friends etc so as not to lose em.

Soarin'

Reviewed By 646lorit - Dawsonville, United States

Soarin' is my favorite ride in EPCOT, and based on the excitement of guests coming off the ride, it seems to be a favorite of everyone. I watched as kids get off the ride and couldn't contain their excitement. Adults likewise were jabbering about their favorite scenes. I get motion sickness easily and cannot ride many of the rides at theme parks, but EPCOT does not bother me in the least. It is smooth and clear, so I just look straight ahead and I am fine. Hint: for the best view, ask the cast member if you can wait for the "top center" row, which is row 1 of gate B. You get a nice crisp view without the distraction of dangling legs. Another hint: If you have a larger backpack, just leave it in the marked off spaces at the end of the row rather than trying to fit it under the seat.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

Reviewed By 416LynnS - League City, United States

Disclaimer -- I did not ride this ride as I didn't want to be sick the rest of the day. But my wife and boys (9 and 10) rode it. They LOVED it. This was probably their favorite ride at DHS and it was a toss up between this ride, Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom) and Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom) as to their favorite ride. I advise getting a Fast Pass as the lines can grow quickly to two hours or more.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Reviewed By 180debrap - Saugus, United States

This is a great attraction at Hollywood Studios in Orlando,Florida. I would suggest getting a Fast Pass since the line can easily be over an hour I've been on this ride dozens of times, and I love the free-fall experience. While you are on the ride, there is a show happening at the same time - so if people are sitting in front of you with their hands in the air, you will miss some of the show. This attraction is similar to Guardians of the Galaxy in the California Adventure in Anaheim, California. This is one of my favorite rides/attractions at Disney. This attraction is right next to Rock-N-Roll roller-coaster, another must-see attraction. There is also a great place to get ice cream near this attraction.
