The SpectacuLAB is now open at Epcot's Innoventions East in Future World.

You'll find The SpectacuLAB across from Colortopia, in the former Vision House exhibit.

The interior has been completely remodeled into a theater-type setup, with seating for around 100 guests. Children are invited to sit on the floor in-front of the stage.

Presented by Murata, guests are invited to step inside and join a group of real scientists, along with their eager tech-savvy intern, for a series of engaging experiments demonstrating basic principles of science.

Here is a look at the very first presentation of The SpectacuLAB from earlier this morning.

To develop the show, Murata teamed with Walt Disney Parks Creative Entertainment and Science from Scientists, a national, non-profit which promotes the importance of STEM education with a mission to empower youth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical fields.

The audience participation in the demonstrations with the on-hand scientists include:

  • Guests playing ultrasonic sensor drums, simply with the wave of their hand
  • Changing the colors of barometric pressure cubes by only raising or lowering the cube
  • Accelerometer sensors measuring the guest's force when using a hammer
  • Observing a scientist explain the principle of force by comfortably resting on a bed of nails.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of ceramic-based passive electronic components & solutions, communication modules and power supply modules. Murata is committed to the development of advanced electronic materials and leading edge, multi-functional, high-density modules. The company has employees and manufacturing facilities throughout the world.

The show is presented 5 times per day - check times guides for latest.

I can't ever see myself waiting in line to see this 3rd grade science thing. Why did they close it off, distract all the other things going on? lol

I'm just glad Innoventions has *something* new, and something that is definitely in the spirit of Epcot. Hopefully Sum of All Thrills will reopen soon and another attraction/show or two could be added to round it out. Would be nice to make Innoventions East into something that resembles it's past....

I think this is great. I was watching the cup part thinking they should've gone with a bed of nails, and then whaddaya know, they did the bed of nails! I geeked out! Really great and educational. Is it perfect, absolutely not, but it's a solid small step in the right direction.

Yeah that was weird.

Cute, Small Scale Show. Nothing wrong with that. Might have been better recieved as a "step right up" show, but I understand why it has to be in a controlled environment. Also, a bit awkward when your intern looks twice as old as the "bosses".
