SpaceShip Earth closing?

[Sir Hiss527]

I've heard about this new "Time Racers" or something like that. Anyways why in the world are they gonna close down Spaceship Earth in 2005? This was Walt's Vision for the future. They just need to keep it alone, but give it a few refurbishments. What do you think about this matter. Should they close down SE, or build this "Time Racers". Thanks! And Post

Just for the record, I wouldn't call Spaceship Earth "Walt's Vision" of the future. Walt had an entirely different idea in mind. Spaceship Earth was the 1970's-1980's Imagineers idea of the future (anyone have any specific names? It would be nice to know).

I feel that with the changing times, it would be a good idea to change Spaceship earth. I am sure those Imagineers expected SE to change sooner or later, as the vision of the future always changes. If it always stays the same, it kinda diminishes the point of Epcot. And if this new ride is installed, it, too, will more than likely be replaced in the far future when its time comes. That's just the way "Future" World works

I beg to differ with you,but have you seen Walts original plan for epcot? Spaceship earth is definately in it,I do however think that they should rehab it from time to time. But don`t gut it.

Hmm...I'm not sure if that is so. I am pretty sure Walt's vision of Epcot didn't include a Spaceship Earth ride, as it wasnt supposed to be a theme park in the first place, it was supposed to be a city with a tall skyscraper in the center, but if you have any knowledge of the contrary, it would be nice to know

I agree. From what I know, Epcot was an experimental comunity and not a park. Why would they have a spaceship earth in a community?

SE: A visionof the future?

I never thought spaceship earth was a vision of the future. yes, at the end they go into possabilities of future communication, but the vast majority of the ride is about the history of communication.

In the drawings Walt had a building that looked like Space ship earth,infact that is where they got the idea for the ride,I don`t know if a ride is what he had intended,but the structure was definately there.

I think its just getting a new name and different content .Technology has passed this ride on. So imagineer's can raise the bar a little higher, J

You can't close Spaceship Earth, that would be almost like closing Pirates of the Carribbean or Space Mountain. If they decide to change the ride, I could understand, since Future World should always be changing and updating to reflect the advance of technology, but you can't just close an attraction that from the beginning has stood as the symbol of the park from the beginning.

I have always loved EPCOT because it is not like any other amusement park or place I have ever been to. Where else can you see the wonders of life and technology presented in an entertaining and educational way for almost all ages, and also experience authentic architecture, culture, and cuisine of several exotic nations? I am all for EPCOT changing with the times, but hope it will never lose its spirit.
