Segway at Disneyland Innoventions

Before getting on a Segway they briefly go over the controls, and even talked about Dean Kamen. I also noticed another off road Segway in innovations House of Tomorrow. Very cool, good advertisement.

MrsK and I stumbled across the hidden Segway test drive when we were at WDW last summer*. They had two machines running and, like Barry said, you just had to sit through a short intro before an even shorter test drive. I guess keeping it so well hidden keeps the line down... (Oh, and yes, MrsK thought riding the Segway was really cool, too)

* Our first empty-nest trip, but not, I'm quite certain, our last!

Hey, when I went to EPCOT I also noticed that part where you can learn how to ride a segway, but there was weight limits and age restrictions and barely anybody there so i just kept walking around epcot, it was a pretty cool display they had there though.

Segway and Disney have always been friends for the most part- I think they really see the value of the machine in their park. I am not sure if the old i180 models are still there- but if so they were built by yours truly!

Segways are pretty sweet.
