EPCOT Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[Demarke]

The whole ride needs an update. Start off by replacing the vehicles. Update the seats for more comfortability and lessen the Omnimover noise.

Next if you’re gonna have the ”Choose your Own Future” still applied, gives us some new animation and choices.

Redo Project Tomorrow while you’re at it.

I think the only semi-popular option to keep a “choose your own future” on descent screens would be if they brought back the original three Horizons ending options and let your car pick one of them each time

…you do realize that a loading issue will affect the entire ride path right? That’s how omnimovers work

They don't call out a mechanical issue if it is a loading issue. again, I was standing right there at load when first issue hit

 

[Phicinfan]

Also, handicap loads and unloads from the exit on Spaceship Earth, so people in the regular load area wouldn’t see the loading (or unloading) issue from where they are anyway

First issue I was standing right there, as they were looking at turntable on load. Other three while on ride called out mechanical issue, so again, it was not a loading issue.

while I dont want the dumb screens at all, it would be fun to see those again.

I would also be ok with it if it wasn't purely on that little screen. I think it would be cool if the environment in the descent changed based on what people select. Like - seeing a future, and you can push a button on ride - and that appears in the tunnel.

But, my vote would still be a restoration of Tomorrow's Child with an inspiring ending.

Rode it 5/6 times over the last few weeks and actually felt it was in quite a good state (albeit it I hadn't been since 2017!)

Over past couple days, the track has broken next to the Sculptor/Michaelangelo scene, making a horrifically loud banging noise as the cars pass over it. So loud in fact, I thought there were new sound effects for the Sculptor's chisel until the car literally jolted half a foot.

here is the new happy ending- choose your future

AI causes mass unemployment destroying economies causing widespread poverty and making the vast majority of humanity subject to the mercy of the welfare state
Climate Change leads to the extinction of humanity
Petty squabbling among nations results in nuclear holocaust
Remnants of the human species survives the above trials but it leads to a post apocalyptic dark age

But on the bright side, God is Dead, and we can all look forward to the infinite void of eternal nothingness

Welcome to the future! Or should I say your future!

And the Wall-E parking lot markers show their purpose...
