Somewhere in this world there is a mini Spaceship Earth.

The Miami seaquarium has a gold geo-dome.

What are you getting at though?

How about a little info to go with this picture?

You got my curiosity up....

Isn't this from one of the chinese ripoff parks?

I recall hearing about this in a forum post quite a ways back. If I remember correctly it's in a park in france. To get into it you go on an escalator to get to it's main attraction...a roller coaster pretty much like space mountian.

You're right that there is a Spaceship Earth ripoff at the Shijingshan Amusement Park (that's probably roughly the same size as the one in this picture), but as far as I can tell this isn't it. I have no clue where this one is. :shrug:

ETA: ^ Ah, I see...

That fell down off its legs and seems to be growing a mini-wand behind it.

Truth is, I saw this picture in another forum (not Disney related) and no one there knew where it was also, although half of them were absolutely positive it was EPCOT.

its from europa park, in germany. if i remember correctly, the ride is called euroSAT, and its indeed like space mt.

 

[DisneyDellsDude]

Is that one an actual free standing geosphere? It looks like the base may be cut off...?

Here's a link to their website with more info on that ride in case anyone is interested. So weird seeing "Spaceship Earth" somewhere else.

Never mind my question. I google imaged it. Here

Not only do they have a ride like Space Mountain in a Spaceship Earth-esque building, but they also have a ride called Universe of Energy.

After a little bit of research, it is extremely similar to Space Mountain, it is in the dark, but here is a video of it with the work lights on.

Boy, I bet the FDA would have a field day with this attraction if it were in the States. The green lasers shining into the eyes of the guests!

I was thinking the same thing.

So why would the Food and Drug Administration care about green lasers being shined in peoples eyes?

 

[Raptorsr]

Yeah its europa park. Basically a clone of disney world but it is a great park. Top it off the spaceship earth ie-eurosat is a wonderful rollercoaster. Loved going there every year back when we lived in germany. Also the park is more of a show case for a big theme park maker.

Without getting too political, you know that the government has to have their hand into everybody's business.

Anyway the FDA is the governmental agency that oversees all use of lasing products. It came about, probably, when grocery stores starting using the UPC system.:shrug:

Anyway, they have a guidebook a mile high regarding the use of lasers in the entertainment business, that's practically enough to discourage all but the most hardy with their rules concerning placement, height requirements, clearance requirements, user logbooks, calibration requirements, ad nauseum...

In other words... shining a laser in someone's eyes is a no-no! :lol:
