Walt Disney's new Innoventions Pavilion in Epcot, Florida, US, has a strong educational theme.
US defence contractor Raytheon has sponsored a new ride, The Sum of all Thrills, which shows children how maths and engineering make things they care about happen and come to life.
The ride is a rollercoaster simulator. Guests programme their own experience via a touchscreen. They have the choice of riding a virtual rollercoaster, bobsled or a jet and can pick inversions, corkscrews and steep hills. The content chosen determines the ride's speed.
The information is stored on a magnetic strip, which is swiped at the launch station. Once inside the simulator, a 3D video hood is placed over the rider's head and upper torso, allowing them to experience their ride.
