News Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[matt9112]

Since it opened, yes.

yes x2

 

[matt9112]

Seriously, the screens can be very distracting. Especially when one ride vehicle's screen is either frozen or glitched out. Causing the screen to stay look something like this.

i wish the screens would all break.

 

[matt9112]

I'm very interested in what they may plan for the top portion. So much potential in that area!

hopefully you look at earth and the climax at the space station....i can dream...

 

[EricsBiscuit]

I say bring back Bill Nye as a narrator! Kids will explode! (assuming most schools still play him of course)

i think Morgan Freeman has a better voice.

If the site which should not be named is correct in the company calling the overhaul “Project Gamma” it should be noted that there was a short lived Marvel project to connect comics with interactive music with that exact name. Maybe it’s just my paranoia seeping through.........

Please tell me more about Project Gamma... where can we find info on that?

I have no problem with marvel at all in general since spiderman has been my favorite superhero since I was a kid but I wouldnt like epcot to be marvel world but would prefer epcot to change its overall theme to discovery or exploration.

Marvel would fit in well in hollywood studios. I guess guardians could fit into epcot if the rollercoaster uses magnetic energy (and we have another easter egg from the discovery bay idea that never happened like figment and dreamfinder coming from there)

Gamma isn’t the name for SSE. Nor is it marvel connected.

 

[marni1971]

Please tell me a roller coaster or Time Racers isn't going into the SSE!

It isn’t AFAIK.

Given Perrin>Cronkite>Irons>Dench, it will probably be narrated by Gilbert Gottfried.

2 days > +/- 90 days > +/- 200 days > +/- 730 ... days (?!)
... be afraid. be very afraid.


bless that old ride ... meanderingly hauling folks up, down, and around that glorious ball all day most days for coming up on forty years
- deserves her rest, she does

Nothing against our fine friends across the pond but I would sorta like to hear an American voice in the next go round. Morgan Freeman seems cliche but he may be the only living American with a voice as well known as Cronkite's was. I'd say James Earl Jones but I think him being Mufasa and Vader would detract from the experience. Maybe in exchange we can have one of Britain's finest narrarate the next iteration of IllumiNations.

So the ride is going to be the same omnimover type ride correct?

 

[GlacierGlacier]

Correct. It is a refurbishment, not a replacement. It's going to be the same attraction.

 

[wannabeBelle]

I'd choose the FoP guy

"Like a grand and miraculous, uh... Spaceship"

God, no!!! Am I the only one who cant stand that dude? Marie

 

[EricsBiscuit]

So if they build a new load area, is the mural in the front safe?

What i find humorous is how Disney fanatics on pretty much every other fan site can’t stand you know who on the site which shall not be named. I mentioned this on another Disney site (gasp) and I got slammed - or should I say he - got slammed as a click bait artist that posts anything he hears. It was actually funny. They started citing multiple examples of when he was wrong. People pay attention.

It's a joke.

Nobody likes that character.

It's like they wanted Goldblum but couldn't get Goldblum.

That has got to be the worst part of that ride, I think. I wonder who thought that video was good enough for that absolutely incredible ride? I cant think we would expect a redo on the film anytime soon? @marni1971 ?? Marie

 

[montyz81]

i wouldn’t mind seeing Sir Patrick Stuart. Although I think it would be funny if The Shat did it: “Like ..........agrandandmiraculousspaceship....”

They can always get Elsa and Anna to do it.

I was thinking the same but could Patrick be wrapped up by CBS now that he's coming back to Star Trek? And weren't there rumors of a Star Trek show/ride for Universals new park?

I think Mr. Cameron can be a little touchy. I don't know how involved he was with approving scripts, casting, pre-show videos, etc., but if he was as hands-on and prickly and controlling as he is on other projects, you might be stuck with that for a long, long time. Nothing against Cameron, seems like a decent fellow, I just wouldn't try to give him notes.
