Helicopter Rides / Epcot Segway Tours

[MTP]

Hi there,

Just wondered if anyone has done either a helicopter tour in Orlando and what their experiences were or the new Segway tours at Epcot.

Cheers,

MTP

Hi Euan,
The Segway tour sounds interesting (I presume you're talking the two wheel vehicle?)
We're there in two weeks so might investigate that. Having just made a comment on another thread about leg ache, especially in Epcot, the Segway might be the ideal solution!!
Always fancied a try on one anyway. Epcot would seem a good place to try.

there actually doing tours on those things now?

saw them last year at epcot and they were selling them at celebration

i thought all flights over disney had been stopped due to "you know"

will be nice to be wrong

Just looked at the Segway tours on the Disney website. They look like great fun as I too have always fancied a go on a Segway:

Wait til I tell hubby about the Segway tours, I think it could be another," What is your mother doing NOW moment!!" Tee HeeThey do look like fun[] As for Helicoptor rides over Disney, would love to take my daughter but I didn't think they were doing them at the moment[?]

Sound like fun until you multiply the price by 4= loads of money or US$320 for 4 people. You also have to be over 16 and in good health. Count me out for this one i think.

Why have they stopped. Was it down to the Hurricanes? They were doing them in May from the place on US192

I don't think they have allowed overflying Disney property since 9/11 - and don't dare ask about the runway that Disney have alongside the main road entrance to the MK (even if you need a site to crash land on![msnscared]).

BTW AP holders are currently getting a discount on the Segway tours.

The last person I heard to land there had to pay Disney a lot of money before they would let him arrange for the wings to be taken off the aircraft and the whole thing taken out by road. Or so I read somewhere [msnsad]
