Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

I wish Americans used the word, "nowt." It's one of my favorite bits of Northern English dialect.

Is nowt the same as naught?

Is nowt the same as naught?

Yup. Same meaning.

Slang for nothing.

I learned all the cool English words from Top Gear (the real Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond and May). cocking Nora!!!

I may have been using that word wrong all of this time

I learned them from watching Monty Python as an impressionable young lad.

I remember reading this thread back when I joined in 2010. I was 12. Fascinated by all the facts Martin was putting in here!

Good times.

Ahhhh... this thread warms my heart....

Exactly my thought when I viewed the forums and saw this thread was back up near the top

It's a shame I don't have any long trips ahead of me otherwise I might have to Instapaper this whole thread to read offline

I guess it’s official, they’ve given up.....

Old Siemens VIP Lounge door.

Nothing a quick few brush strokes can’t fix? Right?

I was inspired by my Twitter bud (@teambercase) to take this shot right before closing. It kinda creeps me out to be honest

Nah, it's just a little bit of Classic EPCOT Center still watching over us. As you can see, it's going through an extended Goth phase.

Funny thing... Right after I took this photo, other guests walked by and said.... And there's the old Siemens VIP Lounge, look at the door.

If you ever experienced EPCOT Center in its golden age, that image gives the heebie-jeebies.

Am I going nuts, or is there an opening visible in the top of the space station in that image, as if the corner of the scaffolding supporting the LED strips enters the top of the cylinder/cone?

On my ride today, I noticed this very easily thanks to the VERY overlit Earth projection. It's so freaking bright that you can see so much that shouldn't be seen at 180top. I just looked up and there it was. The Station is pretty well lit up now thanks to this poor adjustment.

That it does.

 

[wdisney9000]

That it does.

Is that located right as you enter the star field descent?

Yup. It was cool.

I recall all of it from riding a bazillion times when I was younger but cant place exactly where it was in the 180 top
