2021 will mark the 50th anniversary of the entire resort. Although highly unlikely for another 10 years, has anyone heard of updates to Spaceship earth. Not that it's outdated or anything but by the time it opens the current model will have been open for 13 years by 2021. And if history has shown the attraction seems to get upgraded 8-10 years. Just interested on what would be the thoughts and who you'd think would become the next narrator.

I'm still waiting for them to complete the ending ;)
I kind of miss the AT&T Version but that's just me. I know after you pass the interior of the space wing, there really is nothing but a really boring and dark space. They could really do a lot of cool things there.

For some reason I opened this excitedly in the expectation of reading news. News that the descent was finally going to be completed or any other potential upgrade. It may be because of the misleading title with the lack of a question mark and/or because it was posted in the news section, but one cant be sure. Then my excitement was quickly deflated. What a tease :(

I've heard chatter that it's in the works but then again it's totally up to what siemens wants to do since they sponsor the ride. But it could use a decent over haul. Maybe update a sequence or two and make the ending a little less boring and much more awe striking. I posted this in this segment as it's soley rumor. I just want to know if anyone else has heard of it because i'd love to see this changed before the anniversary. At least this can be one of the first attractions redeveloped for the 50th anniversary.

You would think someone with knowledge of DHS' future plans, and that works in the hallowed halls of Burbank would have such insight....

I would be happy with the Jeremy Irons narration (update it for the screens at the end), Tomorrow's Child coming back, fix the timing with the music so the crescendo hits when you hear "on this, our spaceship earth", and a proper descent. Come on Disney!

Yes I forgot my name is Bob Iger I'm supposed to know everything just because I have an office like most of everyone else who works in Burbank. I'm sure you work at an office too and don't know every last item processed by your department or company. Your acting like a troll hating on every last thing I've written today. For your information Spaceship Earth is scheduled to get a facelift in time for the 50th. Whether or not it's an update that's what I placed with this statement.

If you don't know, don't criticize others for speculating (as in the DHS thread), or act as if "chatter" places you in the vaunted insider strata....

And as for what to be written today, considering it included one xenophobic thread and now this, not sure why you're surprised....

I know I don't have to apologize every time for mistakes or for offending any race, religion, sexual orientation, or any form of sociological information. But I apologize. For now I'll stay out of the way. I do not want to offend you or the countless other die hard fans who enjoy speculating. But the greatest part of this entire website is it's one of the most popular chat sites on the subject of Disney in the world. That much is known, not to mention membership for the most part is free. I apologize for criticizing people because yes that's very immature to stop spreading rumors on a rumor forum. As for my comments I'll delete them and have already alerted the moderators to take off the comments. I can't be more than enough ashamed of my poor choices of words as well as for how I have treated people over the internet. I'll stay off for now but lets all remember its fun to speculate toss around ideas. Even if you hear things at work and spread it around I will stop. I realize that my voice doesn't matter and I apologize. to You and to the countless other users of this forum because apparently it's unhealthy to spread rumors or speak the truth when it comes to telling your people that life isn't any better stateside than where they are right now. Have A Great Day!

The Siemens sponsorship ends in 2017, so possibly after that.

Still waiting on them to finish what they started, keep dreaming I know. But things could be worse, if they dont renew and there isn't a new sponsor, well we know how Disney takes care of things.

They will grow large trees around it and only open it for food and wine and other special events.

I never understood what the sponsors were really for. Ok, I understand the cash flow for a particular attraction that disney now doesn't have to throw their money into but there are many sponsored attractions that need updating.. Refurb work.. Etc.guess what I'm struggling with is the pavilions or attractions that don't have sponsors need as much work as the sponsored ones. So where is all the money going?
P.s. If I say sponsor one more time ban me from the boards please.:rolleyes:

Patrick Stewart as narrator, A script that does not insult guests intelligence, Paper Boy looking at the guests rather than the wall,
An actual ending.
That's my wishlist.

Hopefully it'll be ready for Epcot's 40th :rolleyes:

I really hope SSE can get a more fitting sponsor than Siemens is. Perhaps another phone company. It's more fitting than ever now considering the smart phone revolution that has occurred since the last update. I mean, the current version's script was most likely written well before anybody knew about the iPhone. In hindsight, it's very awkward that such a huge communication breakthrough happened within a year of the current version's opening.

Could the paper boy looking at the wall be symbolic as to the future of the modern day newspaper?
