Horizons, Dark ride attraction in Future World, EPCOT, US.

Horizons was a ride in the Future World section of Epcot that took guests through different visions of possible future environments. The system used hanging vehicles that moved slowly along a track, offering views of space stations, undersea colonies, and desert habitats.

Horizons opened on October 1, 1983, between World of Motion and Universe of Energy. General Electric announced on June 24, 1993, that it would not renew its sponsorship, which expired on September 30; all GE references were then removed. The ride closed on December 25, 1994, reopened on December 24, 1995, and closed permanently on January 9, 1999.

The attraction influenced theme park design by introducing interactive endings, allowing guests to select their preferred conclusion through video screens in ride vehicles.

The ride ran 14 minutes 45 seconds, with a full cycle of 15 minutes, along 410.3 metres of track. Its 174 Omnimover vehicles each held four riders, dispatched every 4.8 seconds, giving a capacity of 2,784 visitors per hour. The queue held 696 people, and entry was on the left side of the building.

Horizons was the only Future World attraction to cover all of Epcot's themes: communication, energy, transportation, anatomy, and humanity's ties to land and sea. It was also the first Disney ride with multiple endings, chosen by buttons in the vehicles. Riders picked Brava Centauri, Mesa Verde or Sea Castle for the trip back to the FuturePort.
