Epcot Guests at Walt Disney World Resort Can "Take a Spin" on a Segway® Human Transporter.

Guests to Epcot, the ever-changing theme park of discovery, can experience a Segway® Human Transporter (HT) for themselves, firsthand, as part of two different programs.

"Around the World at Epcot" is a two-hour guided tour that allows guests to operate the two-wheeled, one-person transportation device throughout World Showcase before the area opens for other park guests. The cost is $80 per person. Tours are daily at 8:30 and 9:30 a.m.

"Our guests will get the very unique experience of riding through several countries and observing the beautiful architecture from a different point of view," said John Eric Sovocool, Innoventions show manager.

The "Simply Segway" experience is a one-hour program that gives guests a product overview, training and indoor riding time at Epcot's Innoventions area. The cost is $45 per person. The "Simply Segway" ride experience is offered daily (except Tuesdays) at 12:30 and 1:45 p.m.

For both programs, class size is limited to 10 guests. Epcot admission is required and riders must be at least 16 years old to participate. Guests can call 407/WDW-TOUR for more information or reservations.

Innoventions, Epcot's technology playground, has featured the first public display of the Segway HT since 2002. The display includes interactive stations and daily demonstrations by cast members on how the product works.

The Segway HT is the world's first self-balancing human transporter that uses advanced technology, gyroscopes and tilt sensors to emulate human balance. When a person leans slightly forward, the Segway HT moves forward. When leaning back, the Segway HT moves back. Riders can travel up to 12.5 mph for a distance of up to 24 miles on a single charge.
