New no-stop security scanners now at EPCOT main entrance

The new no-stop security scanners are now in operation at EPCOT’s main entrance.

Originally piloted in June at Disney Springs, the new scanners greatly reduce the need for bag checks and provide a much improved guest experience.

With the main entrance at EPCOT, the scanners are now in use at International Gateway, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

According to the manufacturer, Evolv Express is the first no-stop weapons-screening system built to automatically screen groups of people as they walk through without slowing or stopping. Express screens visitors individually or together, while automatically differentiating weapons from personal items. It is the fastest weapons-screening system on the market, consistently screening 60 people every minute for firearms and other threats. That’s 3,600 people per hour, or 10X faster than a traditional checkpoint system.

Check out the video below for a look at how the system works and its benefits over traditional metal detectors.
