You'll discover four Segway encounters at Walt Disney World including: Around the World at Epcot, Simply Segway at Epcot, the Wilderness Back Trail Adventure at Fort Wilderness and the Nature Inspired Design Segway Tour.
Around the World at Epcot is $99 per person (all prices listed in this information are subject to change), with several start times for the two-hour tour beginning at 7:45 am (also 8:30, 9:00 and 9:30 am). Epcot starts at 9:00 am, so with a reservation your name will be on the list to be let into the Park early, at the main gate not the International Gateway.
Park Admission is needed, plus it's an outside event so weather could change your plans. You shall wear a helmet of course. And although a Segway can travel more than 10 mph, the machines have regulators that limit you to about 5 mph on Disney property. The limit per class is 10, and two cast members accompany you normally, one to guide and the other to watch you and run interference (traffic control).
You have to be at least 16 years old and weigh between 100-250 pounds. You should get there at least 15 minutes early. There are two parts to the tour, some instruction on riding the Segway PT first. You learn to st, move forward, back, turn around, downhill, go uphill and stop. Once you get going, you take a trip around Epcot World Showcase. Traveling single file along the Promenade, you will get see and travel around several of the international pavilions along the way. You do get to stop for a photos, riding around and rest; and you will use a headset.
It's not as hard to navigate a Segway as you might think; it is actually pretty easy once you become familiar with it and modify to the slight movement that reacts instantaneously. Lean in and go forward, lean back to go backwards, and straighten up to stop. The handle bars or "LeanSteer Frame" work as you taking you left, expect and right. It's just that you need to control your body, not easy for the first few minutes. But it does feel natural, safe and instinctive after a while. Simply, you shall love it and want to ride more.
There is also a Simply Segway experience offered at Epcot and it is created for those guests who might not want or have time for a longer tour. This one-hour program includes a Segway product overview, training, and indoor riding at Innoventions in Epcot on a pre-determined course Again guest limited, the expense of $35.00 per person for an 11:30 am start-time (except Tuesdays). And Park admission is required as well.
Next is the Wilderness Back Trail Adventure that some believe is even better than the Epcot program, mostly due to the wide open spaces of Fort Wilderness. And although the Segway X2 model used here is an off-road don, vehicle and you still follow a trail't get to wonder off too far. If you haven't traveled the full length of Fort Wilderness, make sure you ask directions since the map is not enough.
You can tell that the deep treads in the tires and higher ground clearance will hold the road better at an outdoor park and wooded area that is Fort Wilderness. You will likely see some wildlife and but lots of trees mostly. There's a long stretch of ride following the shores of Bay Lake which is very nice, and you get to rest, take some pictures and stop and stop.
The latest information is that Disney offers this two-hour adventure twice a day from Tuesday to Saturday at 8:30 and 11:30 am, for a cost of $85.00 per person. It is recommended you take the early ride during the warm weather. It does get hot and humid in Florida. Schedules and prices change, so use the contact information below.
This is also a two-person led guided tour that hits many sites including parts of Wilderness Lodge and the Tri-Circle-D Ranch where you stop to greet the horses. It's also a spot to take a drink some water, hit the head and break hit the relative head, break and drink some water. The guide is a complete lot of fun to listen to, who would tell stories, some true even. You get a digital head set, just like with Epcot's adventure, so you can hear what is being said.
There is a Nature-Inspired Design Segway Tour also. This is from the official announcement: Discover the wonder of nature-inspired design as you glide through sea® and l. This 3-hour backstage tour allows you to experience the symbiotic relationship between nature and the nature-inspired designs incorporated into Epcot® pavilions and attractions. Glide over California on Soarin'™, tour the greenhouses at The Land pavilion, explore The Seas with Nemo & Friends® and visit Life Support scientists to learn how technology helps us maintain a much better balance with nature.
After completing a required product overview and training, you will be equipped with a helmet and a Segway® Personal Transporter X-2 to experience this unique off-road tour. Epcot® Cast Member scientists share how their work environments are inspired by nature's own design and how they use evolving technologies to maintain a balance with the world around them. After experiencing "air, land and sea" you will have the chance to ride your Segway® X-2 in a designated off-road backstage area at Epcot®.
This scheduled program starts are 8:15 am, and runs on different days with respect to the season, so in the spring or summer it could three or fours days a week and in the fall only two. The cost today is $124 per person.
There are clear variations between the Fort and Epcot Wilderness rides. First, of course, there is difference in terrains. There aren't as many obstructions as in Epcot and the roadways/sidewalks at Fort Wilderness are less traveled. There is a difference in vehicles also, with the Segway X2 used in Fort Wilderness having wider wheels and greater stabilization that might be expected when riding off-road. It's also a longer experience on the Segway at Fort Wilderness, because the training period is much shorter, even for the inexperienced rider. This is likely because of the wide open spaces and there is less of a chance you can run into somebody or something (literally) as opposed to Epcot. Also as a result, you do seem to (if not really) travel faster at Fort Wilderness.
How it works: The Segway Human Transporter works through technology called dynamic stabilization that is similar to a person's own sense of balance. People use their inner ear, eyes, muscles, and a brain to keep their body balanced. The Segway uses solid-state gyroscopes, tilt sensors, high-speed microprocessors (10 on board, equal to three times the power of a typical PC), and powerful electric motors to keep its balance. Working together these dynamic stabilization components sense the user's center of gravity, instantaneously assess the information and make adjustments to the Segway at one hundred times per second. Thus, the Segway balances itself whether moving, carrying a heavy load, maneuvering in tight spaces, or standing still.
The Rules of the Road... Again
At minimum you must be at least 16 years old and weigh between 100-250 pounds, but there are other qualifications such as not allowing pregnant moms or some persons with special needs to ride. The whole issue of Segway use, particularly by persons with a disability has been a subject of lawsuits, but Walt Disney World has featured the Segway since 2002, right after it publicly was first introduced. Guests can call 407/WDW-TOUR for more information or reservations. And it is highly recommended to make a reservation well in advance for any of the Segway experiences. There is also a Segway display at Innoventions includes interactive stations and demonstrations by cast members on how the product works.
Be aware that you are standing the full length of the tour and your legs could get tired. Even your feet shall feel a little strange after finishing your ride, especially at Fort Wilderness. If you are under 18, parent/guardian permission is needed. But there is also a liability release to sign. Plus a reward for making it through your experience - a special Wilderness, one each for Epcot and pin.
