The custom lighting features will emerge from within the structure.
More equipment upgrades reinforces prospects of new audio-visual effects taking place around Spaceship Earth.
A new exterior lighting package is coming to the EPCOT icon - these permits may be related.
Fans of the existing Spaceship Earth will have more time to enjoy the ride.
An absolute classic. The icon of EPCOT Center. A marvel of design, construction, function, and storytelling. Even the panels on the outside of the sphere are remarkable! Rain water doesn't cascade off the surface, instead it gets filtered beneath the structure and replenishes the World Showcase lagoon!
Slow! Nice if you want to get out of the heat... For one of the most recognizable structures on earth it's not enough! I hope Disney makes it into something amazing someday!
Finally, on my 5th trip to WDW, I rode SSE. As a certified coward, I always assumed it would be scary. To anyone who has experienced SSE this was obviously a silly thought. The AA could probably use an update and the audio could use a little tweaking. This took nothing away from enjoying the experience. And with the large ride capacity, this is an easy ride to hop on with minimal waits.
I honestly like this ride. It's pretty interesting. Would go on it again for sure.
