I gave it a 4. I really love this ride, but it really needs to be refurbed and updated. I am really, really sad that it has not had the attention that it deserves!!!!!

Easily a 10.0 plus! I loved this more than anything in Future World. I could not get over the fact that there was a ride inside Spaceship Earth.Anything listed on the park maps as an attraction is fair game for inclusion in the Rally.
I cannot confirm nor deny the inclusion of any attraction in the Rally.
May the Gumballs Be with You...Always.
NO GOATS!

I'm with Mamabot. I LOVE Spaceship Earth. There is much that could be done to improve it, but it is still fantastic as it is. I like the return back to earth the best. It is a very steep decline with lots of interesting optics and projections. EPCOT's acid trip.

I gave it a 5. I love this ride. It's totally rickety and nostalgic for me. It's what rides at Disney aught to be ... not like Mission: Gift Shop or the Test Track.
Granted it could use an update but I would hate to see it go the way of the newer rides.

I gave it a 4. Have always thought it was a great attraction. Love how you smell the burning wood after passing Rome and have always loved the engineering behind the structure itself.
I hope any eventual updates to the ride preserve the uniqueness of it. If anything....make more comfortable seats ; )
P.S. I love telling first timers there is a ride inside the sphere. They always think I'm joking.

This ride is a disaster. Walter Cronkite couldn't even save it. It is a poor rendition of a story that is told better on the National Geographic or History Channel. Choosing this medium handicaps what could have been a really compelling story. The fact that people used to turn the vehicles around at the top of the hill says it all."As usual he's taken over the coolest spot in the house"- Father re: Orville 1963

Epcot is always where I start my visits, and SE is always the first attraction I hit (and usually the only one that I'll do multiple visits to every trip). I agree, tho, that it needs a good refurb. And they killed the entryway with those stupid projected images of the cars turning around backwards. If people are so dumb that they think it's time to get out of their cars when they start turning around, then they deserve to get crunched by the machinery and thin the herd!!!

To me, Spacehship Earth is the ride that defines Walt Disney World. When I sit down in that vehicle, I sort of get this "relaxed" feeling. The whole ride just amazes me from start to finish and really cheers me up!
Spaceship Earth should stay the same!

Re: WDW Rate It!: SpaceShip Earth
Wonderful attraction. Holds true to the concepts in Beard's book which is where I really got my first introduction to what's inside the sphere. Hope it endures........People aren't successful because they have never failed.....they are successful because failing hasn't stopped them.

Re: WDW Rate It!: SpaceShip Earth
You guys were too kind.. I gave it a 2 star rating because this ride has run it's course... Now..for the record, I do not want them to change the show in it for some stupid thrill ride or coaster, but seems to me SE can be brought into the 21st century with brand new sets and AAs, digital sound, cutting edge EFXs and a more interesting narration. Mind you, I have always enjoyed SE but since my first time on it (that was on the 1st Sunday of Sept 1982 during Construction Workers' Family Preview weekend/ I worked at Epcot on that day on loan from the MK) I was always bothered by the technicalities of it...how exposed the lighting system was, how visible the plain ceilings are, how sometimes the track system and vehicle wheels are exposed to the naked eye (Renaissance scene anyone?) how half backed the planetarium is, and how cheesy some of the effects are....
SE needs major TLC and needs it now.
In the meantime..here are some photos from today.

Re: WDW Rate It!: SpaceShip Earth
I gave it a 5...I love this ride. It is time for it get some new scenes, and fix some effects (sound system!) but it is a great ride and great version of the ride. The 1994 soundtrack is BEAUTIFUL and needs to be the most important thing to keep.

Re: WDW Rate It!: SpaceShip Earth
I like the ride, but I would not wait more than 15 minutes for it. That puts it in the middle for me. I think that if they updated the ride, it would be a 5 again. Most of the fun is just going through that sphere. With a little TLC, it could be great again.
