Soarin
Test Track
Mission: Space
American Adventure
O Canada (haven't seen the newest one yet)
Ellen's Energy Adventure (don't remember the original)
SSE (Irons version)
Impressions de France (beautiful music)
JII (the newer one as I can't remember the original)
The Seas (yes with Nemo. the theming and attention to detail in the queue is top-notch. but the original sea cabs/hydrolators will always have a special place in my heart)

Do they still have the African drummers in that neutral area by the Coke station? Those guys were great.

Ooo yeah those guys. They were there last time I was (Dec 04). Hopefully they're still around - anyone know for sure? This thread is making me remember more and more why I like wandering around World Showcase.

I didn't realize we could include music groups. I love Off Kilter, the drummers in Japan, and the British Invasion!

Yeah the African drummers are still there. (At least when I went during September). We got stuck outside the outpost when the drawbridge went up and luckily they came out and started playing so we wouldn't be completely bored while waiting for the IllumiNations barges to float onto the lagoon. Although, they weren't as good as I remember... the rythm seemed very monotonous for a good ten minutes.

The drumming is good, but choosing the least funky person from the audience and making them dance is the real attraction.

OK... I think i will FINALLY have time today to recalculate and update our list... though obviously we've found a bit of a flaw in our methodology here with the definition of "attraction"...

Like SSE won't still be first

i really didn't know Epcot had that many "attractions" isn't it really 3 rides, a world documentary and fancy smancy restaurants with huge gift shops. note: please don't toss coins into the aquarium near the entrance. laugh. i love epcot.

yodiwan1 · Post by **yodiwan1** » Oct Tue 16, 2007 4:03 pm

what do you consider the 3 rides?? i can name at least 10....

Croaker · Post by **Croaker** » Oct Tue 16, 2007 4:33 pm

Soarin, Test Track, Mission Space. the others are too short or to educational to consider as rides....and journey into imagination....hang my head low with sadness. Words cannot describe the dissapointment. actually i'm just making a joke. epcot is enjoyable especially the lands, but the video game areas drive me nuts they are just a filler....who goes to disney to play madden football? here let me save you $4000 dollars, go to Blockbuster.

Sorry about having to mix some of those, but some folks are voting for slashies, essentially saying they equate the old and new versions of some rides, while others (the JII and UoE families) are being clearly delineated.

Yay Spaceship Earth!!
