Spaceship Earth at Disney's Epcot reopening Friday with new features
Associated Press
6:23 PM EST, December 20, 2007
Epcot's iconic white sphere, Spaceship Earth, closed for nearly six months, will reopen to the public Friday with a new story line and digital enhancements.
The show's producer Bob Zalk says the new story is about innovations and how they inspire the next generation.
The ride features new show scenes, lighting effects and costumes with a new musical score narrated by Judi Dench. The ride's vehicles remain the same, but include new touch screens. There will also be an interactive component.
Disney officials expect to make minor changes before the ride's formal reopening in February.

A friend of mine had a sneak peek right before it opened. He said the improvements were great! I can't wait to see the changes when we're there in January for the marathon. But I wish they had done something to change the vehicles - they have to be the most uncomfortable ones in the parks. _________________ Kathy

Great news. I hope it is as good as everything I have heard and read. That is one of our favorites. We'll see in less than 2 weeks. _________________ [ |

Haven't had a drink since 12/2. Cleaning up for the marathon.
Rose and Crown, 1/13/08 8:30 PM if not before. Are you and the Mrs. visiting that day?
As for the heist...I had trouble driving a compact on those Irish roads. I sure wouldn't be any good in a truck and trailer. And Angus probably wouldn't do any better in his condition. _________________ [ |

Wow! I haven't actually seen a line for SE in at least 6 or 7 years. That's actually kind of cool. |

It's werid to see the full queue open. I can't remember the last time I waited more than 3 mins to ride SSE. I saw the preview over Xmas and was mildly satisfied. Of course the nod to Steve Jobs, (or is it Wonz?) was a nice touch. |

I've seen lines on MANY occasions for SSE. Granted, a majority of the time it's a walk-up, but there have been lines that they needed the extra ropes for the queue. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
