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

[Bender123]

I'm going to ask that they dedicated my donations to turning the paperboy around and putting actual animatronic movements in Steve Jobzniack

Hold on there Mr Moneybags...That's gotta be, at least, at the $15 "Super Gold Star Sponsor" level.

 

[GoofGoof]

I have like...$4. Can I get an AA in Rome modeled on my image?

For $4 the best you get is a cave man. The speaking roles cost more

 

[Kamikaze]

Exactly, it looks like they could slip something else in there. I'm just saying that I'll be curious to see what that would be, since it's not just a chunk they can lop off like the others.

Just a blank blue insert.

The $2 donation is equally appealing: a signed head shot of everyone's favorite female scientist, suitable for framing.

I want the Roman chariot projection back, what level of sponsorship will that take?

at the $100 level, the phoenicians thank you!

Can we have @marni1971 narrate it?

You mean can we have white text with the Prototype font explain the story to us?

Ill up you a twenty spot to see the newpaper boys face...

Yo Apple! Sponsor a new Jeremy Iron's version!

...thought I'd give a meaningless shoutout...

Apple would make an amazing sponsor for so many things at Epcot.

Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft... I'd love to see any of these companies sponsor a major pavillion or something new in Innoventions.

I would love to see a modern tech company sponsor some exhibits in Epcot - Apple, Google, Amazon... Not sure why they don't consider that.. Would be a good forum to promote their vision of the future (especially with Earth Station / Innoventions)...

I think 3M would be the perfect company to sponsor something at EPCOT, and is far less stereotypical than the companies you mentioned. The entire brand is "Science: Applied to Life" and they make a lot more than Post-It Notes! They are even involved in autonomous vehicles, specifically optical sensors and signage.

It would almost be a no brainer... with technology chasing so fast, what better way for companies to showcase off their technology!

Not just their current technology, but their vision for the future.. That was what the Communicore exhibits of my childhood were like, and a big part of what inspired me to get into the technology field.

I'd always assumed it was Woz, but it's purposely vague enough that it could be any tinkerer in a garage from that time.

agreed -
point is that it shouldn't be vague; should be obvious that's woz

of course, if you're looking to court apple, you make it jobs... or ambiguous

It almost makes too much sense that the pavilion based on the history of communication would be sponsored by a smart phone manufacturer. I guess maybe even a social media company would make sense since that’s how the “kids” these days choose to communicate. The post ride showroom would also be a great place to showcase future technologies.

Instead of Apple, how about having Samsung sponsor it? Then, not only could you have a major provider of modern technology sponsoring the attraction, but it could catch fire at random times!

So burning Library of Alexandria first then near the 360 top, burning Notes. Sadly, lithium doesn't smell as nice.
