The exterior music is powerful and the gravity wheel in the main room is probably the single coolest item in display in any queue anywhere.

    And for a second opinion, Soarin at WDW has a much better queue than at DCA: DCA'a queue is a couple of interesting photos and two very boring corridors.

    But for the now... I like the que at Spaceship Earth, why??? Becuause there is always a soft breeze and it is soooo refreshing to me. For some reason we always discuss Hidden Mickeys while in this FAST que.

    Also I love to look straight up and think, "wow there is a million lbs. suspended over my head."

    I'm not sure if it cures homesickness or makes it more acute. Either way, I have to get my fix at least every other week.

    Only 70 minutes? Thats like...a walk-on for Test Track!

    Wait a second...Spaceship Earth...and...queue? They don't really go together now, do they? ;)


    <<Soarin'. I like to imagine that I am getting on in Orlando, but will end up landing in Anaheim. Hasn't yet happened but I like to think someday it will. >>

    I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon...

    For me, I find Mission:Space's queue far too short/small, and Soarin's far too wide. Both aren't bad though. I do like the American Adventure better however.

Most of the other attraction queues in Epcot were just that...queues and not much else. The queue area was also located near the Mesa Verde scene (futuristic orange grove), and the pleasant smell of oranges permeated the queue line from that scene which made it all the more enjoyable!! (MMMMMM...ORANGES!!!)
