Orlando, Florida: Located towards the back of the park, the World Expo is home to one of the parks newer attractions. The land gets its look from the world expositions of the past and combines it with modern architecture.The first of the two rides in the land is Men In Black: Alien Attack. Opened in 2000, the attraction is made to look like a pavilion for the 1967 World Expo. Inside you join Will Smith and Rip Torn as they bring you inside the MIB training facility and then put you a training simulation. You board your specially designed vehicles and given laser guns and on the training mission you go. Then you hit the alien packed street with one mission, shoot the most aliens. A score is kept and at the end guests can compare their scores with the high scores from the past years.
The other ride located here is the Simpsons Ride. While it is one of the newest rides in the park, it takes the place of the Back to the Future ride which was housed here previously from 1991-2007. The Simpsons ride opened in 2008 and is based on the long running FOX cartoon. The motion simulator ride takes guests on a journey through Krustyland, but the journey goes wrong at the hands of Sideshow Bob. The six minute ride features an 80 foot IMAX screen and state of the art ride cars to make the ride come to life.
The International Food and Film Festival is the only food venue located here in the World Expo. The counter-service restaurant features meals from American, Asian and Italian cuisine.
There are several themed shops located at the World Expo. They are:
• Kwik-E-Mart: themed after the famed store from the Simpsons and features Simpsons gear.
• MIB Gear: locate at the exit to the Men In Black ride features gadgets toys and apparel based on the movie.
