Omnisphere

The gem-like structure that houses Horizons is dedicated to humanity’s future, with an accent on "human." It is a careful synthesis of all the wonders within EPCOT Center, and applies the various elements of communication, energy, transportation, creativity and technology to a better life for the family of the future. Visitors to Horizons first arrive in Futureport, a transportation terminal of the future. While waiting to board their vehicles, they can view three-dimensional scenes of a bustling futuristic city, a space colony, or a floating habitat in the Pacific. Soon, however, guests embark for the Horizons sound-and-light show, which begins with a series of scenes depicting ideas for the future from the past, including a Jules Verne spaceship, nineteenth-century French futurist Albert Robida's vision of the Paris of the 1950's, and living quarters of the future, as conceived by forward-looking thinkers of the 1930s and 1940s. After " Looking Back at Tomorrow, " guests are whisked into a series of present-day dreams come true by the "Omnisphere, " where they are surrounded by a thermal cityscape, a robot manufacturing plant, the architecture of a microchip, an exploration of undersea frontiers and others of today's technological wonders. Then it's on to the twenty-first century, with the accent on quality of life, Tomorrow's horizons include youthful old age, farms made fruitful in the desert, travel made energy-efficient through magnetic power, undersea resources harvested by robot power, and space colonies growing crystals for industry in the absence of gravity. For their return to the present, guests are given the option to choose one of three modes of transportation: a personal submarine, a desert hovercraft or a space flight. When their arrival back at Futureport is announced. Horizon's guests have a new view of tomorrow's tantalizing possibilities.
