SpaceShip Earth Astronaut

[Castle Cake Apologist]

Awhile back, I someone asked what used to be in the top part of SPE (Where the projection of Earth is now) and I said that I remembered seing an animatronic astronaut floating around and everyone said that I was wrong and that there never was an astronaut. Well, my family and I were watching some old vacation tapes last night and on one from Oct. 1992, lo and behold on the video of SPE, there's the astronaut! Sooo... now we have a new question... why'd Disney take it down? :lookaroun

We actually ended up agreeing with you over the astronaut...there was some confusion because of Horizons.

Anyway...I dont know why they took him down...maybe it looked dated?

myself, i think the planet looks good in that part of spaceship earth... it sorta lets you know your going back to reality.. and into the hot weather in about 3 mins.. which makes you sad.. i dont remmebr the austronaut... but.. i dont really care i like earth up there.. o well my opinon, and as for that disney parade on christmas morning, i was VERY dissapointed... the music sucked.. and everything went so fast with hardly any of the parade (but of course i watched the whole thing...) o well !! happy new year *in a couple days*.... 2002!!

i go to disney in 37 days!!!
:0)
later!!
:lol: :hammer: :slurp: :king: :sohappy: :animwink:

I agree that the disney parade was too fast-paced...and I would have liked to see some of the rides, most of which they neglected to show. Glad they decided to have military Christmas video-messages, but I didn't need to see two hours of them...and I could have done w/o the Baja Men...Regis didn't even bother to plug HIS attraction...I thought for sure he'd be down at Who Wants to Be a Millionaire--Play It! doing a show...I enjoy the 100 Years of Magic Commercials, however

now when your on spaceship earth and you enter that large domed room at the top they make it look like its about a thousand feet up, but my question is how high are you from the actual top of the ride?

I have no idea.... but the actual top of the ride is 180 feet high...so no matter how much of a difference, you are pretty high up there! :animwink:

 

[ToTBellHop]

140 feet?

 

[lileonard]

what i meant to say was how high from the cieling are you when you enter that room

180-140=40
