News Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[DreamfinderGuy]

This thread reminded me, I still need to upload video of the AAs being dead. I think I quit filming at the moon landing, but the computer room AAs were just standing still.

I had no idea so many AA's were dead. I still love the ride. Glad it's being refurbed. But the voice....I need the voice!

It’s the area in Epcot that always smells like sewage and rotting diapers.

That would be the Restroom, I think!

I agree, she has gotten a bad rap when in reality the script is the guilty party here. They knew what her voice was and they needed to shape the script around it. Someone else with a more demanding voice might have been able to carry it off. I think we can all safely blame the Phoenicians.

Candles! Where did you get candles with that exact smell?

Rome Burning®

Rome Burning® is a highly themed, historical scent that features a burning embers aroma which harkens back to a time of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire.

Yup, found the site. Did you feel the candle was close to the smell or exactly like the smell?

If our next trip comes to fruition, we will be traveling with friends, one that grew up in California with Disneyland, so lots of WDW will be new. Sad to see my favorite ride will be down, but good lord fix it up! looking forward to having to go back to see it back from refurb.

My very first ever Disney attraction i went on was Spaceship earth with my grandfather. The attraction is very near and dear to my heart. Glad to see it get some love!

It’s a version of the smell that you don’t mind having in your home for hours at a time, rather than just sniffing it for a few seconds on SSE.

I've got to get me some of that!

don't know, I have never tried it.

I'd like to plan a trip for when Spaceship Earth is finished and both rides at SWGE are up and running.

 

[PorterRedkey]

Do they have the Communicore Breezeway scent?

No, but they have the Buzz Lightning SRS queue candle. I wouldn’t get it though, it smells like a mixture of sweat and farts.

You can get the same effect by brewing a cup of lapsang souchong tea.

For SL, RotR probably will open late this year if not early next year. SSE however probably won’t be open until maybe late 2021 or more likely 2022.

When is this rumored to close again?

Glad I got a ride in today.

We just set up a quick trip for first week of June, due to business travel - so I am thrilled I will get one more chance to ride this again before anymore changes.
