Horizons was a suspended omnimover dark ride attraction at Epcot (then known as EPCOT Center), a theme park at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida. Located on the eastern side of the Future World (now World Discovery) section of Epcot. The attraction depicted scenes from the then yet to come 21st century showing the possible future of life on land, under the sea, and in outer space. It is believed to be a spiritual successor to Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, an attraction in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. Horizons was the only attraction in Future World to showcase all of Epcot's "Future World" elements: communication, energy, transportation, anatomy, along with mankind's relationship with the sea and the land. The attraction officially opened on October 1, 1983, as part of Phase II of EPCOT Center. Horizons originally closed on December 25, 1994, a little more than a year after General Electric had ended its sponsorship of the attraction. Horizons re-opened on December 24, 1995 due to the closure of two other attractions that were down for refurbishment in Future World, Universe of Energy and World of Motion. The attraction permanently closed on January 9, 1999, after which the attraction was dismantled and its structure demolished to make room for Mission: Space, a motion simulator thrill ride that opened on October 9, 2003.
