Home > Pavilion > Ride/Show Technology EPCOT Center was thematically and technologically the most innovative and advanced theme park of its time, and nowhere else in the park was there a greater covergence of cutting-edge technology than in the Universe of Energy. From the Kinetic Mosaic to the Traveling Theater, to the many unseen technologies and systems that make it all possible, the sheer "wow factor" of the ride itself still makes it more than worth the trip some twenty years later. That all this technology is used to seamlessly present a compelling story, makes all the more clear what a labor of love it must have been for its very talented designers. Come with us for a moment, and explore the Universe of Energy as you've never seen it before. From massive movable walls, to energy "beamed" through thin air. From the trackless Traveling Theater, to the simultaneously simple--and insanely complex--Kinetic Mosaic. The magic unfolds before us in the show, but it truly begins here... You may choose from selections at right in any order--each page stands on its own. You'll get the greatest understanding of the "big picture" though, if you view them in order--starting with "Behind the Magic." Note: The information in this series comes from many sources: materials from EPCOT Outreach, books, magazine articles, interviews with Cast Members, and personal experience. In some cases, we've had to "connect the dots" ourselves, speculating on some of the details. We've tried our best to be as complete and accurate as possible, but it's always possible that we may have something wrong. If you see an error or omission, or if you have additional information, we'd like to hear from you!
