It has some really cool photos from the construction and some then/now photos... Enjoy!

Good blog. Thanks for the post. This is our favorite attraction at Epcot. We always make that the first ride, and the last if it is still open when we leave the park.

It's fun to see the changes over the years.

My first visit in 1988 or 89, Epcot was considered "educational" and something you could see in 1 day. We had a 3 day pass and spent 2 days at MK and 1 at Epcot. It's funny how we'll spend at least 2 days out of each vacation week to visit now. And you don't hear the "educational" label anymore even though Epcot is full of hands on learning experiences.

That is good stuff!

Speaking of Spaceship Earth, has anyone violated policy by taking a flash picture in the caveman scene to reveal the hidden cave painting on the right side of the track?

Many people have enjoyed the fun additions of the future part at the end, but have really knocked the new Judy Dench narration. I enjoyed the change and find it more light hearted and enjoyable. For me, the old narration, after a few times through the ride just felt a bit heavy and made me want to say "lighten up".
