EPCOT New Spaceship Earth Ride - Sneak Preview at Disney

This weekend at EPCOT they let some visitors get a sneak preview of the newly renovated Spaceship Earth Ride located in the Geosphere of EPCOT at Walt Disney World. At first glance the ride appeared much the same. We thought the cars were the same till we noticed there were video screens installed in both the front and back section of each car. Due to lighting I could only tape the very beginning and very end of the ride. Many of the sets are similar, but new animatronics and a much more appealing high tech storyline make coupled with the choose your future touch screen ending makes the new Spaceship Earth a great ride and something everyone should try. At the end of the ride the riders are asked a series of questions and then a future designed for them is played on the screen. It was easy to see that all the cars had different outcomes. You can watch the selections made by my daughter as we rode. The newly renovated Spaceship Earth will open in February of 2008!

Well from the looks of it it looks like Disney screwed up again. The ride did need an update but the ending looks stupid. They put in a corney cartoon and took out the awesome and beautiful scenery at the end. So fare for what I am seeing Disney Is losing there creativity and art and focusing more on the technology.You really need both elements to make a great ride.

All that stuff is still back there. I can see part of the city scene sticking out from the curtain. There isn't even a video where the old scenery was it starts after and that part was empty since 1994. I wish they just had both.

I went to the ride, they still have stars after while and I heard music with the voices, and a camera takes a picture of you and cuts your head out and puts it on the character.

lol yep it is but it is nothing like the old ending, they could of at least made a better cartoon and a wall of things to look at instead of a blank black wall, the old spaceship earth is much better
