Is Spaceship Earth rally that bad

[marni1971]

Heres some neat footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ool6Z3EtwIQ
It looks like there is a big screen at the end. It looks like there are some classic looking tube lights all wrapped up but I cant tell.

What we looking at? Nothing in that video that is new. Remember, Infra Red light bounces and is absorbed differently by different materials. A black cloth may bounce back white, but black metal stays black. Same with the ceiling wiring tubes, which if you notice do go between key triangles.

I hate to ask this Martin but are you free to elaborate?

Sure. Which bit?

I think they were talking about the Descent.

Definitely not... There totally different shapes Take a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPPI9YdtQG4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ool6Z3EtwIQ. I have a feeling they wanted to make it somewhat classic in a more modern form for the 25th but failed do to low funds. Hopefully they didn't just decide the screens on the time machines are enough and just call it a day.

You might be right...they did want to do something besides the triangles, I know that. No details came out about the sets, though.

That radio waves tunnel runs with a projector in the back and that is black and comes out white. IN front of that screen there are some of those triangles pointing at that screen like they would shoot out at you or something. Even it isn't they are still pointing to something thats might be back there. Thats what it looks like to me.

Sometimes I just want to jump out of the ride and walk around with a flash light. I am dying to see what is behind the cloth walls. I might need a fishing hook and some string :lol:... Just kidding I would never want to be at risk of getting kicked out of any of the parks.

If anyone has looked at the video is that white thing looking to the right of the earth that space station that was never finished.

That`s the bit that was never begun. It is actually the top of elevator one and stairwell 5 - they were repatched in part with different material than originally used and are reflecting the IR light back differently. In normal lighting to the naked eye they all look the same colour.

The original plan was to have a show spaceship built around these, so as you rotated you saw you had just emerged from a large spaceship, floated through space, skimmed the moon, gone past the 2 satellites and into a space station.

Thats pretty neat because of you look next to the time traveler you see the outlines. In front of the time traveler it looks like they had cut out clouds before the LEDs. There is also a pointy thing sticking up and I think I can see that old screen that showed the latest thing from the news. That would be some amazing scene and they should finish it. Those lines between the triangle look like the old lights and some I dont recognize. I wish they would run them I dont see why they wouldn't. I still think some of those props are behind those walls.

I take flash pictures in there all the time. No one is looking around anyway. :lol:

Ahh...Spaceship in Spaceship Earth, all over again.

Keiko, the Window Girl, waits for you...:lol:

You and me both!

SE is one of my favorite attractions, and while I still love the ascent, I miss the old music that played when you got to the top. The ending however... I'm not a fan. It was cute the first time, now it's just... bleh.

Just now I was looking at a site that had some Disney attraction mp3's, and there was one of the music from the old decent. Oh it hurt my heart to hear that again! I just made a ringtone from it, though...

That is EPIC!!

I really hope this gets finished. Maybe there does need to be a collection to get this done. :lol:

If you have anything interesting can you send it to me or the link when you have absolutely nothing to do. If it is to hard and the internet fights you dont worry about it .

It's in my TR from a month ago. Search my threads. (on my profile page.)

Well, that was the plan in 1982. I doubt it`ll ever be done now if TDO are happy with todays waste.

I think I might be the only person on here that is happy MoonBase82 was never built. It'd be too overwhelming, you know? As 180 Top is now, that's amazing. All you see is Earth and Stars, Perfect in it's simplicity.

I think epcot needs to start over with spaceship earth. Make it not just about communication but other things like how the earth began and go from there displaying talents, education, communication, transportation and everyday living and how it progressed kind of like carrousel of progress. I think then they could make some great scenes and not have to depend on screens for up to date ending if thats what their plan is. And the music and the voice... if that bothers you find a way to get this to your ipod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB_wxGzfoJQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph52pPeLmFQ Thats what I did.

Well, it's no substitute for actually riding it, but the Irons version of Spaceship Earth is one of the best documented attractions as far as available video and source audio go, so it's still possible to "virtually" ride it whenever you want. I listen to the music track on my computer all the time, and the Jeff Lang video is a frequent guest in my DVD player.

I agree that it's almost unbelievable Spaceship Earth has survived to the degree it has...

Where did you get the soundtrack? I've been looking for the entire version of the Spaceship Earth ride soundtrack (1994-2008) forever. If you have an MP3 of the whole thing, would you be able to send it to me? It would be very appreciated!

Mousebits is your best bet.

I can never get that site to work. If someone has the entire soundtrack, would you be able to send it to me. I'm trying to find other good WDW MP download sites where I can find more music.
