• A 2-wheeled self-balancing personal transportation device that was unveiled in late 2001
• Produced by Segway, Inc. out of New Hampshire
• Segways can travel at speeds of up to 20 MPH

• It uses gyroscopes to detect movement
• Lean forward to go forward, Lean backwards to reverse, Center your body to stop, Lean left to turn left, and Lean right to turn right.
• It senses your body movements at 100 times per second so every little move you make is picked up
• The Segway has electric motors that are powered by rechargeable batteries so it is very     eco-friendly
• The Segway also features a governor or a speed control mechanism which will prevent the rider from traveling faster than the software is programed for. This is done by the Segway automatically pulling the hand bars back toward the rider forcing the rider to center  their body thus slowing the Segway down

• The price of the tour is: $35 for the 1 hour Simply Segway training or $85 for the Around the World at Epcot Segway tour which includes the training session and the World Showcase tour on the Segway
• You can get a 15% discount if you are an Annual Passholder
• The duration of the tour is 2 hours which includes a training session of approximately 45 minutes.
• Your check in at Guest Relations inside Epcot to the left of Spaceship Earth where you will then be ushed over to Innoventions West to watch a brief safety video and begin your training.
• Your tour guide will then take you out into World Showcase which (unless you take the last tour of the day) will be free of guests.
• You will get to not only ride around the World Showcase Lagoon but actually ride through many of the pavillions using bridges, pillars, buildings, gardens and many other landscaping areas as somewhat of an obstacle course.
• Your tour guide will also provide you with lots of detailed facts and information about World Showcase and the various pavillions.
• About halfway through the tour they will stop (we stopped in Italy) for a breif break and/or photo opportunity and your tour guide will gladly take pictures of you on the Segway at this point. (It should be noted that this is the only point of the tour that you are allowed to take pictures).
