Changes Coming for Spaceship Earth

Posted on September 4th, 2007 by karyn

The folks over at DisneyGossip are reporting changes on the way for the Epcot attraction Spaceship Earth. The Mickey hand and wand have already been removed from the top of the “golf ball” at Epcot, and now it appears that some internal changes are underway as well.

A few permits have been filed to modify some of the special effects in the attraction. There has also been some work on the lighting system throughout the attraction. This doesn’t surprise me since the new sponsor manufactures light bulbs and would want them used in the attraction where ever possible.

Patrick Stewart (X-files, Star Trek: TNG) is rumored to be the new narrator. Bruce Broughton has been asked to compose the score. Broughton’s work for Disney includes Ellen’s Energy Adventure and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. I’m also hearing a new recording of “Tomorrow’s Child” will be featured in the attraction.

No word yet on when changes will be completed, but it’s sounds very interesting. Spaceship Earth has been in need of some updating for some time now.
