Soarin' 5 Stars (Easily one of the two best rides in the entire resort)
EEA: 5 Stars (I like it because it makes me laugh)
Test Track: 5 Stars (The first ride I went on the first time I went to Epcot)
Mission: Space: 4 Stars (Very well done and entertaining)
Honey I Shrunk the Audience: 5 Stars ( Awesome presentaion, almost as good as the Philharmagic)
Maelstrom: 2 Stars (meh)
Spaceship Earth: 3 Stars (Its fun, but it ain't all that)
Innoventions: 5 Stars ( I could, and did, get lost for hours in here! :D)
Living with the Land: 4 Stars (the plants that grow on air makes this one worth it)
El Rio Del Tiempo: 2 stars (meh again)
Living Seas: 3 stars (would have gotten more if they hadn't shoehorned all that Nemo stuff in there)
World Showcase: 5 stars (I love walking around and going into all the shops, and just talking to the people!)

If I didnt' mention it here, than I have not done it at Epcot yet!

SSE (current): 3
Innoventions: 1
Seas with Nemo: 2
Living with the Land: 5
Soarin': 4
JII (current): 2
Test Track: 2 (It was a 5 when it first came out, but the more I ride it, the more I realize how boring it is. It has terrible re-rideability)
Mission:SPACE: I'm too biased against it to rate it fairly. I just pretend it doesn't exist.
Ellen's Energy Adventure: 3.5

Gran Fiesta Tour: 2
Maelstrom (and the Spirit of Norway): 5
American Adventure: 5,000 (one of the few things that actually makes me proud to be an American. Ranks up there as one of my favorite Disney attractions of all time, of any time period and any park)
Impressions de France: 5
O Canada (current): 2.5

In its infancy, EPCOT was perhaps the greatest theme park that had been created -- a stunning mediation between art, education, and entertainment. Nowadays, with the possible exception of World Showcase, the park is more akin to a shopping mall. Much of its subtle mystique and ambitious modernist aspirations have been liquidated by excessive commericalism, homogenization, and complacent philistinism.

Bring back the original figment ride! it was such a classic that people should just rant at the front of the park and beg for the ride back. i also hope that they bring back the original world of energy because i just cant stand ellen's voice.
well thats only my opinion.

Soarin' is definitely on the top of my list, followed by Mission Space and then Test Track. Its a tossup between Spaceship Earth and Universe of Energy. I loved JII before all the refurbishments so I say it goes near the bottom.
