News Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[Bender123]

Don't know about that. He was good and all, but what if we had someone like Neil Degrasse Tyson narrate the new refurbished ride? That would be freakin awesome!

If we are making stuff up, I, would like...William...Shatner. HE...wouldbegreat.

I'd be very okay seeing (or rather hearing) Sir David Attenborough provide the narration for this

LOL, I just had to look it up - I cannot believe he is still with us!

That said, due respect to Sir David - I'd personally prefer Sir Patrick Stewart, as was once rumored for a previous redo.

 

[HiJe]

This is the ONLY suggested name I can get behind! The Dude abides.

What if we just got really weird and went with Seth Rogan laughing through half of the ride. "Is Rome burning or is that something else I smell smoking?".

^ Also a quality choice for the job

Or better yet, Justin Roiland talking/burping throughout most of the narration...

"Rome is *burrrrrrrp* burning. Yep. There it goes."

I’d pass on Neil TheGrass Tyson, but wouldn’t mind most of the others listed. Especially The Dude. “Obviously, you’re not a Phoenician”.

I think I already suggested him earlier in the thread

 

[Mike S]

...as The Dude!

You gotta, like, thank the Phoneicians man.

 

[jt04]

Snoop would be compelling.

 

[DisneyGentlemanV2.0]

You gotta, like, thank the Phoneicians man.

The descent really ties the ride together, man.

Samuel L. Jackson.

"Thank the f***** phoenecians!"

“Like a f***** spaceship, our planet has sailed through the mother f****** universe of time”

 

[WEDwaydatamover]

If we are going to go to Samuel Jackson why not Neil Hamburger...

 

[mikejs78]

If we are going to go to Samuel Jackson why not Neil Hamburger...

Jackson already is under contract with Disney for the MCU....

I don’t know, to me he seems to act just like any comically stereo typical bumbling science nerd that stays in a lab all day would act

That’s very likely what they were going for with his character.

It's a rehash of the guy sending you for the dinosaur.

It makes sense to combine renovating SSE with the complete revision of the entry area and central innoventions area of the park. This would allow reconfiguring of the ride to be coordinated with how they want the central area to be reimagined. I could see them wanting to have an open area with no obstructions of the sphere in the area where innoventions and the fountain is now so you could have a possible Night-time Projection show on SSE (in addition to whatever replaces Illuminations - think the secondary tree of life projection show at AK.) I do like the idea someone mentioned earlier of having some content in a new after ride area that references the history of Epcot and some of the attractions of days gone by. Such a location could also offer an opportunity to deal with the Leave a Legacy issue without ticking off people who bought tiles years ago. You could pick a spot in there to relocate the picture tiles when they remove the monoliths at the park entrance. (Obviously they could also just dispose of them altogether but displaying them in some out of the way area could be a way to get rid of it while being respectful of the people who bought it as it will still be in the park somewhere.)

Half of communicore is essentially empty. If they wanted to do a museum, that would be the ideal spot.

Dan Rather, Bryant Gumbel? I don't know, we rarely have a Cronkite figure anymore who is a respected journalist and a good set of pipes with character?

“Comically stereo typical” were the key words. As in heavily exaggerated.

One of the most successful shows in TV history is just that.
