Since many park goers refer to it as, "the golf ball", I wonder if some yahoo in the executive wing would pitch the idea to seek sponsorship from a golf company.

Rumor Siemens is going to end their sponsorship with the parks - Spaceship Earth and IllumiNations

Apologies, I thought you were referencing SE. In fairness, Im still on my first cup of coffee. I was thinking Disney could buy the Caddyshack IP and slap a golf company logo on SE and throw in Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase AA's. That actually sounds enjoyable,

That looks like someone photoshopped black marker onto SSE.

It's real though. Seems to happen every year now.

My response to this news that SSE may be closing...
I do imagine this would get backlash, even from those who mostly praise Disney for everything. I have a Disney-oriented social media page, and having to deal with all the non stop optimism can get to you. However, #SpaceshipEarthSunday is a huge thing on Instagram, with tons of shops making SSE inspired items. It just shows that people do love this ride, even so called "pixie dusters." We could very well have a fan war on our hands if SSE is redone/shuttered...

They're trying out different Death Star paints.

Will not matter a bit to TDO as long as they can get their 'precious' Star Wars IP into EPCOT cheaply.
And Star Wars is to Iger what 'the precious' was to Gollum...

Spaceship Earth is still the marquee ride, or at least the centerpiece/weenie of Epcot. Refurbished, possibly, updated, maybe. Closed? No chance.
As well it should be. It's the most valuable and hotly-anticipated addition to WDW. I know many people who're putting off their Disney vacations until it opens. Star Wars is their Harry Potter, the new attraction that will get people flying in from all over the world just to see it. It's a massively valuable IP and while I understand there's people who aren't fans... for some odd reason.. it's huge for Disney.

Do you think the Star Wars expansion will actually be into EPCOT ?? Star Wars taking over EoE, WOL, Mission Space, Test Track and Space Earth???

That's still very much a rumor, and I think it's as terrible an idea as shutting down SSE. Both would gut their parks.

The only reason I think that's not comparable is that DHS is completely moving away from their movie/tv history theme so gutting the GMR is, to them, acceptable. Epcot, well, who knows what the heck they are doing there, so anything is possible, though I'd hope unlikely. Short sighted foolishness had them destroy Horizons with little worry it wouldn't be forgotten.

Seriously how does TDO NOT turn SSE into the Death Star after Siemens sponsorship ends
EPCOT has already begun the transition into IPCOT
with SSE its just too easy just slap a dish on the side and replace some sets and you have your death star, Theme i guess would be recruits reporting for duty on the Death Star. Screens would give your id number and assignment
Heck perhaps thats why Siemens bailed because they were asked to underwrite a SW redo of SSE.

Yet 'The Precious' destroyed Gollum in the end. Think on that.

If I wanted movie parks I'd just go to Universal (but I don't).
