That phrasing isn't really consistent with Disney's typically airtight, legalese-style, corporate branding...whereby all parks are branded "Theme Parks®", all customers labeled "Guests®", and all 180-foot tall globes called "Attractions®" or alternatively "Geospheres®"...Accoarding to the new WDW website. Spaceship Earth looks like "A giant Golf Ball looming on the Horizon."Shows you how much Disney marketing cares about SSE.
Welcome to the club.:wave::lol: BTW Epcotservo who is that in the picture you posted?Nice pic Mr. Servo. I love Picard, and ST:TNG .
Speaking of Spaceship Earth being called improper names...
When i was visiting last week one of the times i rode the monorail over to EPCOT i overheard a family asking their kids if they were ..."ready to ride the Ball"...
' Ride the Ball '?? Okay...that has all kinds of alternative meanings...i won't go there....
I digress...
What was interesting is some OTHER Guests who overheard them talking about 'The Ball' spoke up and said ' Um, it's called Spaceship Earth.. not 'The Ball'....
Yeah, i was surprised to hear that..and i think the Guests were a little insulted to be 'corrected'. ( yeah, it could have come across as rude in the situation it was..)
So i wanted ask here, just for the heck of it, do you guys get all bent outta shape when people start talking about SSE as 'The Golf Ball' or just 'The Ball'?
I will admit...it can irk me sometimes, but this is from someone who calls Big Thunder Mountain 'Tony's Mountain' ( as in Tony Baxter). So i am guilty as anyone for calling attractions alternative names.
Hey, that could be a topic- Alternative names you call WDW Attractions!
Oh Lord...i need a life.........:lol:
I call it the Geo.:shrug:Oh, lighten up. :lol: Even I call it "the golf ball" from time to time.
(Besides, it does look like a golf ball. At least it doesn't have the wand next to it anymore.) :lookaroun
