Innoventions

Innoventions is a pavilion (comprising two buildings, Innoventions West & Innoventions East) which is based on technological advancements & their application in everyday life. The first time that I visited EPCOT, one of my favorite things in Innoventions was having my picture drawn by a robotic arm (this was 20 years ago). When Cheryl & I visited EPCOT during our Honeymoon, Innoventions was being refurbished, but we were lucky enough to get a sneak preview. This time we were able to fully explore the pavillions.

The first attraction that we visited was a simulation of a severe weather outbreak (storm/tornado). We were sat in a house looking out at the surrounding houses & watching how they were damaged by the weather. This was all in 3-D & was supplemented by light sound & rind/rain effects. The simulation was interactive with the audience selecting various different building materials to rebuild the house with, before the storm was re-run to see what effects this had on the damage (it was sponsored by an insurance company).

We visited Innoventions on more than one occasion when we were in EPCOT. There was a section on waste disposal & recycling where Beth got to make her own paper – cool!
