    Best Queue in Epcot is...Mission:Space

    As much as I love Soarin' the ride, the Orlando queue doesn't do it justice anywhere close to the California version. Mission's dramatic entrance, the authentic exhibits from NASA, the futuristic look throughout, and the plasma screens for th pre-show help build up to that unique experience.

The Aviation Hall of Fame (or whatever it's called) is okay, but it's somewhat obviously done on a small budget. After that, the queue is nothing more than a blank passageway to the loading areas.

    I'd have to say it's a tie between Mission: Space and American Adventure, totally different but both theme immersive.
