Magic of Possibility: 9 BEST Epcot Rides and Attractions You MUST Experience

Are ready to go virtually experience the BEST Epcot rides?

“The Magic of Possibility.” Epcot Center’s original slogan when it first opened to guests on October 1, 1982. Epcot fans to this day herald the park for its commitment to edutainment, a form of teaching guests about specific topics in an entertaining fashion.

To this day, Guests still fondly remember these types of edutainment attractions. These rides and attractions were sponsored mainly by outside companies and once those ended, the attractions would eventually and sadly disappear.

If you ask anyone, they will bring up Horizons, the sequel to Carousel of Progress located in Magic Kingdom. Or they will mention Kitchen Kabaret or its replacement, Food Rocks!

Some will have eye glaze over as the remember their cherished moments with World of Motion or Universe of Energy.
