Innoventions is a pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World, Florida. It focuses on technological advancements
and theirpractical applications in everyday life. Innoventions is a portmanteau of the words "innovation" and
"invention".
Innoventions first opened in 1994 which prominently displayed Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, Sega CD,
and Sega Pico games in an arcade style. There were some "virtual reality" displays (which was basically more
advanced video games at the time). Innoventions in Epcot replaced the original tenant of its two semi-circular
buildings, CommuniCore. Epcot's version is divided into two buildings known as Innoventions East and
Innoventions West. In 1999, Innoventions had a major renovation for the park's Millennium Celebration, and
added the subtitle "The Road to Tomorrow". In 2007-2008 Innoventions underwent another major renovation,
dropped the subtitle "Road to Tomorrow," and changed its general aesthetic again while also launching the
companion website http://innoventions.disney.com/site/
