| Design your own (fill in the blank) at Innoventions I'm not sure if anyone's posted on this yet, so I thought I'd start a thread. We were at the world this weekend, and wandered into the Innoventions that's over by Test Track (I can never sort out east from west). Anyway, in the location where they used to have "build your own robot", they've opened the "Sum of all Thrills". It's a really cool activity that's sponsored by Raytheon. They have four large robots with simulators on the end (seating two people). You wait in line, and go into a briefing room, where they explain all the cool things engineers get to do (And since I'm an engineer by degree, that was cool). Then you go out to a design table and get to build your experience. You can do a jet, a roller coaster, or a bobsled. It all gets downloaded onto a card (just like your park pass), then you go up to one of the robots, and get to ride out your design. Once you're home, you can log on to a website and build designs there, so you can skip the design table. Both my kids tried it and they really liked it. DD waited about 20 - 25 minutes from the time we got in line until she was in the robot. DS went on his own, so I don't know how long he waited. I didn't ride because simulators mess with my head, but they both said it was lots of fun. I'll upload a few pictures later on, but I wanted to share!

| Sounds similar to Disney Quests build your own coaster. Have you done that one? How does it compare?
