Spaceship Earth - Silent Descent

[cdd89]

A little discovery of mine.

If you answer the first question (health, work, etc) at the last possible minute - that is, between the timer showing 1 and 0 - you’ll hit a bug when it tries to generate your future.

This bug means you don’t get the “choose your own future” segment with irritating narrration and colours stabbing out your eyes, just a black screen and silence for the entire descent.

Needless to say, I can’t begin to tell you how much this improves the overall experience. I’ve managed to replicate this twice now so thought it worth posting here.

Or you could just hang your stuff (coat, bag etc.) over the screen for the duration

All we need is a bug where it plays Tomorrow's Child too!

OK, I'm going for broke... Maybe we find the bug that lifts the curtains so we can see the partial remains of the AT&T sets on the decent!

Just grab one of the (usually inoperative) star curtains as you pass and don’t let go.

it's been far too long for me to still miss walter

execution could get messy, but i like the intent!

Or perhaps the '94 descent music.

I'm wonder how/if you can get to a debug menu and play sounds through it. It's probably locked out, but then again I've had luck at places with certain touch areas on screens to get out of the UI and into Windows.

A better idea would be as you ascend into it to Choose your narrator from Vic Perrin to Judy Dench...

 

[Bairstow]

I just wanted to say that "Spaceship Earth: Silent Descent" sounds like the title of a really mediocre science fiction novel.

Vic Perrin

I go in two weeks and I have been trying to do something similar to no avail so I will definitely try this.

Lawrence Dobkin, actually. It's taken me a long time to get 'Vic Perrin' out of my system...

I was thinking of it more as the title of the Epcot Story circa 2021....

Vic, actually.

Marty was mistaken apparently.

You'd still get the irritating narration.

Or the next Walt Disney Studios foray into sci-fi movies with a theme park tie-in.

It's the sequel to this: https://www.amazon.com/Down-Magic-Kingdom-Cory-Doctorow/dp/076530953X

Seriously?? Well, now don't I feel like the fool... I know what I'm watching over lunch today.

That’s the consensus of the WD Archives.
