Main Article: [[Horizons]]
Horizons was a dark ride attraction that opened in 1983 in Future World East. The attraction was considered to be a sequel to the [[Magic Kingdom]] attraction The [[Carrousel of Progress]]. Unlike the Carrousel of Progress which showed progress that had already happened in the twentieth century, Horizons showed progress that could happen in the 21st. .Horizons tied together all the other themes of Future World: communication, community, energy, transportation, anatomy, physiology, along with man's relationship to the sea, land, air, and space. On Horizons guests would look back at what people thought the future would be like, and then look forward to what it could be. On each individual ride vehicle guests could see a vision of the future by “traveling” through a space colony, desert farm, or underwater research facility. Horizons was permanently closed in 1999.

The Wonders of Life Pavilion opened in 1989 in Future World East. The pavilion focused on human heath health and was sponsored by MetLife. Inside the pavilion were three attractions: Body Wars, Cranium Command, and the Making of Me. Body Wars was a motion simulator attraction that “shrunk” riders so that they could enter a human body and carry out a mission. The attraction is considered to be Epcot's first thrill ride and was also often compared to [[Star Tours]] at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]]. Cranium Command was a humorous film that taught guests the importance of the human brain. The show featured Buzzy an Audio Anamatronic who is a “brain pilot”. The attraction followed Buzzy as he used a host human's brain to go through an average day. The final attraction located in the Wonders of Life Pavilion was The Making of Me. Hosted by Martin Short, The Making of Me was an education film that taught guests how babies were born. The Wonders of Life closed in 2007 after MetLife dropped it's sponsorship.
