News Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

While I enjoy the current soundtrack, I do miss the Irons version.

I don't know of many people that prefer the current soundtrack over the previous ones, but I'm glad to see it has fans, because it is really good.

I liked both, but prefer the new score because it's unique to the attraction. The Irons score was not, it was just classical music selected for the attraction. Although the music they selected for the descent did give me goosebumps... And then there's Tomorrow's Child, which was also great.

If I had to pick - I'd want the current score, but with either more majestic music for the descent (a la Irons version) or a more modern version of Tomorrow's Child...

7.Turn the Roman Chariot effect back on or replace it with a better one.

The ghost chariot.

The ghost chariot.

With the charioteer having a flaming skull.

See? There is indeed some Marvel IP that can be legally used and fits perfectly in Epcot!!

I miss "Tomorrow's Child". 60% nostalgia talking but it just felt so...EPCOT.

I don't want Chapek and his minions touching 'Tomorrow's Child' and making a "more modern version" of it.

And, they don't know "grand". "Grand" hasn't really been a part of TWDC's vocabulary since about 1994, with few exceptions.

Tomorrow's child, gathering bucks from our fists...

I suggest they go with Gilbert Gottfried for the new Spaceship Earth narration.

Spaceship Earth: Under New Management?

Have you heard his act on the Howard Stern Show?

Gilbert Godfried should narrate as Dracula. Done. You're welcome, Disney.

Spaceship Earth: Under New Management?

Shhh... We want it improved, not burned to the ground.

But if you guys ever wanted a hilariously bad narration of Spaceship Earth, these would be my personal suggestions:

Christopher Walken
Jay Baruchel
Kristen Stewart (passing by the burning of Rome, emotionlessly: "Whoa. What is going on.")
Michael Cera
Neil Breen
Nicolas Cage
Shia LaBeouf
Tommy Wiseau (this would be a riot of epic proportions)

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

Or use Sarah Silverman or Joy Behar. Yuck!

James Earl Jones!!

James Earl Jones!!

James Earl Jones would actually be awesome and is one of my personal top picks for the next narration.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Donald Duck, Iago, and Figment.

Pick only on the basis of who would be good for the part. Could be anyone really. Pick based on skill, nothing else.

How quaint...

What’s wrong with picking only based on who’s potentially the most qualified? It doesn’t really matter who it is. I just don’t think any other factor should play a part.

I agree. Thus the

Wasn’t it always a woman’s voice during the spiel on what you shouldn’t do to not get sick?

Or you mean the replacement for Gary Sinese? Because his voice wouldn’t seem really rough to me or “uncalming.”

I didn't see a reason to change either. (I love Gary Sinese!) But i'm guessing Disney did their research and made their decision based on what makes guests more comfortable.

To bring this back on topic the actual narrator is only part of it. We also need a good script. Judi Dench, the current narrator, is a great fit imo. She’s just unfortunately paired with a bad script.
