Space Ship Earth leaking in the rain

[Tom]

There is a bathroom on the 4th floor of the ride structure? Whats that for?

Pooping

No but for real, why is there a bathroom inside the geosphere?

Maybe the gutters clogged allowing water to rise up and spill over casing a leak.

The gutters are a good 40-50ft lower.

Because it's an office block. It has storerooms, offices, workshops, break rooms, machine rooms and support facilities.

Just happens to be an office block that has a ride. And is ball shaped. And on legs.

So, if you were very lucky, and you didn't mind not having a window, SSE could be your office.

WHAT

Don't panic...it is just part of the new "Leaking a Legacy" program where you pay $190 and a bucket in your name is placed somewhere under a leak for a minimum of 20 years...

They needed to re purpose the buckets from the somewhat similar "Leak a Legacy" program they were trying out in the men's rooms. They saved money on urinals and made money on the bucket sales, but the floor space was quickly over run with buckets. Plus, once the buckets were removed, the display area was not nearly as popular as anticipated.

Now that I think about it, I felt a drop last Febuary on the ride, I don't want to know what it was because there wasn't one drop of rain all week.

Disney, when we said that the descent needed something else, we weren't talking about water effects.

Hope not to repeat an earlier post. But in my best R. Kelly voice, WDW is "making it rain!" Just like TDO wants it, "buckets" of money to be made with this new "experience."

Nothing to worry about. I'm sure it is just our time travel pod emptying the Septic Storage Tank in space and it's just floating downward. They do that all the time don't they?

Is there a window to the ride?

Maintenance.

Exactly. People forget that SSE is a "building." When you think of it in that term it really isn't all that big. The areas up in that building are only used by maintenance, not ride operator CMs. They have their own offices and break room in the post show. But the maintenance break room on the 4th floor is the most interesting setup I've seen. Haha!
