Epcot is rolling out 2nd Segway tour
More Disney visitors soon will be scooting around Epcot on Segway transporters in the morning before the park gate opens to the general public.
For a couple of years, Walt Disney World has given Epcot visitors two options to ride Segways -- the two-wheeled, electric scooters that people stand on as they ride.
The big ride is a two-hour spin, including an hour of training indoors and an hourlong guided tour of Epcot's World Showcase. That attraction, which costs $80 a person, proved popular enough that Disney is adding a second tour, starting Friday.
Disney also offers a $45 one-hour version that's all indoors, during midday.
To accommodate the additional Segway traffic, Disney has built a new, larger indoor riding and training area, in the Innoventions West building. It replaces the old Segway station at Club Cool.
"They've been really popular, that's why we're adding to it," spokeswoman Lissette Campos said.
