Power outage at Epcot

Tripped circuit breaker blamed for power outage at Epcot

Orlando Sentinel
A circuit breaker tripped at Disney's Epcot Center this morning, causing parts of the park to lose power and some rides to close down temporarily. The breaker tripped around 11:30 a.m. and caused the entire park to experience a sudden change in voltage, much like when lights flicker during a thunderstorm, Disney spokewoman Kim Prunty said.

"Most attractions are back up and running at this time (about 2 p.m.)," said Prunty, who also said that all power was restored within about an hour. Disney did not know what caused the breaker to trip.

Although the power outage was limited to parts of Future World and the main entrance, many rides stopped during the surge and had to go through a restarting process. At 1 p.m., attractions such as Spaceship Earth, Journey Into Imagination, Test Track and Mission Space were still listed as "down" on a park board that updates visitors on the status of rides.

Eh, it's Epcot. What I go there for doesn't really need power. Can anyone say 'World Showcase'?
