Disney recently announced that a new simulator will be installed at the Inoventions pavilion in Epcot. “Flip for Helmets” will demonstrate the importance of wearing a full helmet with face guard when driving a motorcycle.
The simulator, sponsored by 1800 Dentist, will allow participants to be flipped over a set of handle bars onto a slab of concrete while wearing a helmet. Participants will then be allowed to do it again but without the helmet.
The simulator will have both the standard ride photo and a new video capture of the ride. If the video is purchased, you will get both standard speed and slow motion copies on the keepsake DVD.
The ride photo is taken after the second ride once the participant has been helped to their feet. In the guest is unconscious they will be propped up. A random character will be there to pose with the participant. Each photo will be posted in an online. People from all over the world will be able to log in and vote on their favorite photo. The photo with the most votes at the end of the day will win a free helmet and up to $2000 of dental work from a dentist affiliated with 1800 Dentist.
A Disney Executive was quoted as saying “This exhibit really fits in with the educational purpose of Epcot. I believe that guests will really learn how important a helmet is after riding this simulator.”
Look for “Flip for Helmets” to open within the next six months.
