The Sum of All Thrills was an attraction formerly located at Epcot in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. Located inside the former Innoventions East, the ride took the form of a robotic arm simulator, where guests could design their Roller coaster and ride it via the arm. The ride closed in 2016 after the exhibitors in Innoventions East decided to stop sponsoring any remaining exhibits.[1]

History

The Sum of All Thrills opened in 2009 as a new exhibit for the now-defunct Innoventions East Pavilion. The ride was a robot arm custom-designed by KUKA. The ride was a robot-arm and simulator combination where guests could design their roller coaster piece by piece.[2] The attraction was sponsored by company Raytheon.

The attraction saw no changes during its service life. It closed in 2016 due to the exhibitors in both Innoventions buildings opting to leave that year, which happened to the west building a year before. Innoventions West closed on September 4, 2019, almost three years after the ride.[3]
