I missed that tidbit, so thank you.

Here's hoping they give it some serious TLC. I love SSE, but it could really use a major refurb. It would be hilarious if they put all that stuff back in the 180 just to mess with us.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely worth having a dedicated thread for a SSE update.

Though it's quite good as-is, Spaceship Earth requires another 'refresh' (as communication transitioned to portable devices after this ride received its '98 renovation).

More than anything it needs a non-condescending script and an actual ending.

Pretty much this. And a general refurb of everything else wouldn't hurt, it's time, but it doesn't need to drastically change. I wonder if they feel the same way or we get some IP tie-in? It's pretty hard to trust them.

Hope they vacuum that s h a g rug.

 

[larryz]

Are they going to fix the A/C?

Hope they vacuum that s h a g rug.

Probably the extent of any refurbishment of SSE. They might even be convinced to put in a nice Berber or shampoo the old one.

I'd still love a SSE-Horizons hybrid with the post show space becoming an exhibit on the history of EPCOT.

If they must keep the screens, please use them for something useful. Like closed captions.

The theme should return to what was originally intended, communication, and the finale should actually be moving.

Glad to see it staying omnimover based, I don’t want some gimmicky vehicle type inserted or something brainless like making it a rollercoaster.

I feel like just because how quickly technology moves today this ride always feels out of date 2 years after being refurbed.

 

[MaximumEd]

It’s gonna need some serious track and ride vehicle tlc when the time comes. As Marni pointed out, it’s basically run 7 days a week for almost 36 years. It’s an amazing feat of imagineering to build something to last like that. I also hope it just gets a refresh and update. After what they did to JII, SSE and LWTL feel like that last bit of the Epcot glory years that still remain. Well, them and the JII restrooms, anyway.

No, they will really be removing the spaceship this time...

...Spaceship Dearth.

It's been 11 years since the Dench refurb, hasn't it? 5 more years would put it to last 16 years - almost 2 decades. What's the longest one narrator has been in SSE? I can't think of any that have been there for 16 years - Irons I think was 13 (94-07).

 

[Minthorne]

I miss jeremy irons

 

[SuperStretccch]

Let's hope this refurb will be for the better. I've only experienced the current version of the ride, so it would be great to see an awe-inspiring finale like it had before.

Uh oh.. Remember when it started as "The Great Movie Ride is getting an update!" and well... we've seen the conclusion of that story...
