Complete List of All 11 Rides at EPCOT

EPCOT has 11 rides at Walt Disney World, including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Frozen Ever After, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Soarin’ Across America. This complete EPCOT rides list shows all 11 by park area, their height requirements, and which rides to prioritize. It counts rides you board, not theater shows, exhibits or walk-through attractions.

EPCOT has fewer rides than Magic Kingdom, but they are spread across World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature and World Showcase. That makes your starting point important, especially if you want to cover the major rides in one day. For a broader overview, see my EPCOT planning guide or my opinion-based ranking of the best EPCOT rides.

Complete List of All 11 EPCOT Rides

The table includes every main ride, its location and minimum height. The Soarin’ film is currently Soarin’ Across America, which replaced Soarin’ Around the World for a limited-time presentation. Mission: SPACE is counted once even though it has two versions with different height requirements.

EPCOT Ride	Location	Minimum Height
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind	World Discovery	42 in (107 cm)
Test Track	World Discovery	40 in (102 cm)
Mission: SPACE	World Discovery	Green: 40 in (102 cm); Orange: 44 in (112 cm)
Spaceship Earth	World Celebration	Any height
Journey Into Imagination with Figment	World Celebration	Any height
Soarin’ Across America	World Nature	40 in (102 cm)
Living with the Land	World Nature	Any height
The Seas with Nemo & Friends	World Nature	Any height
Frozen Ever After	World Showcase: Norway	Any height
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros	World Showcase: Mexico	Any height
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure	World Showcase: France	Any height

How Many Rides Are at EPCOT?

There are 11 main rides at EPCOT under this count. Four have minimum height requirements and seven welcome guests of any height. You might see a larger total elsewhere because Disney includes experiences such as Journey of Water, Turtle Talk with Crush, The American Adventure and films in its broader attraction listings.

A ride count also does not guarantee all 11 will be operating on your visit. Check the official EPCOT attraction listings for closures and the current Soarin’ presentation.

What Should You Ride First at EPCOT?

I would choose your first ride based on how you enter the park, which Lightning Lane passes you have, and what your group cares most about. EPCOT is big enough that walking back and forth between World Showcase and the front of the park wastes time.

• Entering through the front gates: Consider Test Track or another high-priority ride in the front half of the park, depending on current waits. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is also nearby, but check its standby wait and your Lightning Lane Single Pass plans.
• Entering at International Gateway: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in France is a natural first target. It is much closer to this entrance than to EPCOT’s front gates.
• Visiting with Frozen fans: Frozen Ever After in Norway deserves early attention if you are not using Lightning Lane Multi Pass.
• Wanting gentler rides: Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land, The Seas with Nemo & Friends and Gran Fiesta Tour are easier to work around the major headliners.

Guardians currently offers standby and optional Lightning Lane Single Pass; it does not require a virtual queue. For Multi Pass, Disney places Frozen Ever After, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Test Track in its higher-demand selection group. See my EPCOT rope drop guide and EPCOT Lightning Lane strategy for a more detailed plan.

All 11 EPCOT Rides by Park Area

EPCOT has four main neighborhoods. Here is what to expect from each of its 11 rides, with the more thrilling attractions first and the gentler rides that work as breaks later in the day.

World Discovery Rides

World Discovery is where you’ll find EPCOT’s most intense rides. This area has Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Mission: SPACE.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is EPCOT’s biggest thrill ride and one of the most unique coasters at Walt Disney World. The ride vehicle rotates as you move through the track, which makes the experience feel more fluid and disorienting than a normal roller coaster.

I love the ride, but I would not recommend treating it casually if you are prone to motion sickness. The spinning, screens, backward launch, and music make it fun, but they can also make some guests feel off afterward.

Guardians currently offers a standby queue, while Lightning Lane Single Pass is an optional paid way to reduce the wait. There is no active virtual queue at present, although Disney can change access rules. Check the My Disney Experience app for the day of your visit. For more help, read my EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy guide and my post on the songs on the Guardians ride.

Test Track

Test Track is EPCOT’s high-speed car ride and one of the park’s most important thrill attractions. The redesigned version combines scenes about automotive innovation with the high-speed outdoor section, which is still the part most people remember.

The height requirement is 40 inches. I would prioritize it early if your group cares about thrill rides, but I always keep an eye on weather because Test Track can be more vulnerable to downtime than indoor attractions.

If you are deciding whether it belongs near the top of your day, read my full EPCOT Test Track guide.

Mission: SPACE

Mission: SPACE is one of the most divisive rides at EPCOT. The Orange Mission is much more intense, while the Green Mission is the gentler version. Even then, I do not think this is a ride everyone should force themselves to do.

I rode the more intense version once and regretted it for the rest of the afternoon. If you are sensitive to enclosed spaces, spinning, pressure, or motion sickness, be careful. I would only prioritize this if your group is specifically interested in space simulators. The Green Mission requires guests to be at least 40 inches tall, while the more intense Orange Mission requires 44 inches.

For more details, read my EPCOT Mission: SPACE guide.

World Celebration Rides

World Celebration is where you’ll find Spaceship Earth and Journey Into Imagination with Figment. These are not EPCOT’s biggest thrill rides, but they help define the park’s classic personality.

Spaceship Earth

Spaceship Earth is the slow-moving dark ride inside the EPCOT ball. It takes you through the history of communication, and even though parts of it feel old-fashioned, I still consider it a classic EPCOT must-do.

I usually do not rush to ride it right at park opening because the line can be weirdly busy when everyone walks in and sees it first. I like saving it for later in the morning or afternoon when I need a cool, calm break.

If you want to understand the icon itself, read my guide to what is inside the EPCOT ball.

Journey Into Imagination with Figment

Journey Into Imagination with Figment is a short, low-intensity ride with no height requirement. I want to enjoy it more than I usually do. It has nostalgia and Figment charm, but it can feel dated and chaotic compared with EPCOT’s stronger rides.

I would ride it if the wait is short, if you have kids who want something easy, or if you are a Figment fan. I would not make it a major priority on a first EPCOT visit.

If you are deciding whether to include it, read my EPCOT Journey Into Imagination guide.

World Nature Rides

World Nature is a good area for a midday reset. Its three rides are Soarin’, Living with the Land, and The Seas with Nemo & Friends. The nearby Journey of Water is a walk-through attraction, not a ride.

Soarin’ Across America

Soarin’ Across America is the film currently playing at EPCOT’s Soarin’ attraction. This limited-time version sends riders flying over American landscapes and cityscapes in front of a huge screen. Soarin’ Around the World is currently unavailable, but the basic flying-theater experience, music, and scent effects remain.

The height requirement is 40 inches. I like requesting the middle section if possible because the image can look more distorted from the sides. This is not EPCOT’s most intense ride, but it is one of the easiest to recommend. For more on the ride system, see my Soarin’ at EPCOT guide.

Living with the Land

Living with the Land is one of the most EPCOT rides in the entire park. It is calm, educational, and genuinely interesting if you enjoy greenhouses, food systems, sustainability, or behind-the-scenes Disney details.

I ride this almost every visit. It is not thrilling, but that is the point. I like saving it for the afternoon when I want to sit down, cool off, and slow the day down without leaving the park.

For more detail, read my full guide to EPCOT Living with the Land.

The Seas with Nemo & Friends

The Seas with Nemo & Friends is a gentle ride with no height requirement. The ride itself is simple, but the aquarium afterward makes this area more useful than the ride alone.

I would include this for toddlers, younger kids, or anyone who likes marine life. If you are short on time and not interested in the ride, you can still spend time around the aquarium area and exhibits.

Nearby, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is worth adding if your group likes interactive walk-through attractions. It is not a ride, but it fits naturally into this part of the park.

World Showcase Rides

World Showcase is mostly known for countries, food, drinks, shows, and atmosphere, but it also has three actual rides: Frozen Ever After, Gran Fiesta Tour, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

If you are planning the full loop, my guide to the EPCOT countries and EPCOT World Showcase will help you understand how this area fits into the day.

Frozen Ever After

Frozen Ever After is a boat ride in the Norway Pavilion with no height requirement. It has strong animatronics, familiar music, and a small backward section that surprises some first-time riders.

Even if you are not a huge Frozen fan, I think it is one of EPCOT’s better family rides. The line can move slowly and build quickly, so I would either ride it early, use Lightning Lane when it makes sense, or catch it when the wait drops.

If you are pairing it with characters, my guide to dinner with princesses at EPCOT may help you plan around Norway.

Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros

Gran Fiesta Tour is the quiet boat ride inside the Mexico Pavilion. I do not always plan around it, but I almost always end up riding it because it is charming, air-conditioned, and usually easier to fit in than the bigger headliners.

This is not a must-do for thrill seekers, but it is one of the best low-stress rides at EPCOT. It pairs perfectly with exploring the Mexico Pavilion or eating nearby. If Mexico is part of your food plan, check my guide to the EPCOT Mexican restaurant.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a trackless family ride in the France Pavilion with no height requirement. You shrink down to Remy’s size and move through a mix of physical sets, screens, motion, and kitchen chaos.

I think this is one of the best family rides at EPCOT, especially if you are entering from International Gateway. The main drawback is that the wait can get long, so it is a smart ride to plan around instead of leaving it to chance.

For a deeper strategy, read my guide on how to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

Which EPCOT Rides Have Height Requirements?

Only four EPCOT rides have a minimum height. Mission: SPACE has two versions, so check the requirement for the specific mission you want.

Ride	Minimum Height
Test Track	40 in (102 cm)
Soarin’ Across America	40 in (102 cm)
Mission: SPACE Green Mission	40 in (102 cm)
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind	42 in (107 cm)
Mission: SPACE Orange Mission	44 in (112 cm)

The other seven rides have no minimum height requirement. That does not mean every attraction is appropriate for every child: Frozen Ever After has small drops, and Remy’s uses large screens and motion effects. See my EPCOT with toddlers guide for family-focused recommendations.

Best EPCOT Rides for Different Visitors

Visiting With	Rides to Prioritize
First-time visitors	Guardians, Test Track, Soarin’, Spaceship Earth, Remy’s and Frozen
Thrill seekers	Guardians, Test Track, Mission: SPACE Orange
Young children	Frozen, Remy’s, Nemo, Living with the Land, Gran Fiesta Tour
Adults	Guardians, Test Track, Soarin’, Spaceship Earth and World Showcase rides
Motion-sensitive guests	Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land and Gran Fiesta Tour

Guardians and Mission: SPACE Orange can be especially challenging for guests sensitive to spinning or intense simulated movement. If you want a more relaxed experience, EPCOT has plenty of no-height-requirement rides that don’t require fast movement. For a different type of trip, see my EPCOT itinerary for adults.

EPCOT Attractions That Aren’t Rides

If you only count vehicles you board, you miss part of what makes EPCOT different from the other Disney World parks. These experiences are worth considering, but they do not count toward the 11 rides listed above.

• Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana: An interactive outdoor walk-through in World Nature.
• Turtle Talk with Crush: An interactive theater experience in The Seas Pavilion.
• The American Adventure: An elaborate theater presentation in the United States Pavilion.
• Impressions de France and other pavilion films: Indoor shows that provide breaks from walking.
• World Showcase and seasonal festivals: Cultural exhibits, live entertainment, dining and special events.

For the broader lineup, see my best EPCOT attractions guide and EPCOT countries guide.

Can You Ride Everything at EPCOT in One Day?

Riding all 11 EPCOT rides in one day is possible, but it depends on crowds, operating hours, breakdowns, and how much time you also want for World Showcase. Guardians, Test Track, Frozen and Remy’s are the rides I would plan around first. Save lower-wait attractions for the afternoon or whenever you are near them.

EPCOT is larger than its ride count suggests, so an efficient plan matters. I like finishing my hardest rides early, using the Land and Seas pavilions for breaks, then leaving time for the countries and food. For a fuller route, compare my one-day EPCOT itinerary and half-day EPCOT itinerary.

Before your trip, check the official EPCOT ride and attraction list and EPCOT ride closures for any changes to availability.
