Spaceship Earth

Step into the world-renowned 55-metre-tall geosphere to explore the stirring story of human communication. Be transported to the further reaches of the solar system in a Time Machine vehicle that takes you through magnificent moments of the past, present and future — from the dawn of recorded time to the 21st century's New Global Neighbourhood.

Spaceship Earth is the first thing you see on entering Epcot.

Board your omnimover and take the 15 minute journey through time, to learn about the history of communications from cavemen to future centuries. The story is narrated by our very own award-winning actress Dame Judi Dench!

At the beginning of the ride, guests photographs are taken as part of the new fun interactive experience, each omnimover has a touch screen where riders are asked questions that are used in the post show area. On a map, riders faces appear on animated characters, showing where they live in the World!

Spaceship Earth was originally sponsored by Bell System, then AT&T, and currently Siemens, with a sponsorship absence between AT&T and Siemens. There have been four narrators: Vic Perrin (1982-1986), Walter Cronkite (1986-1994), Jeremy Irons (1994-2007), and Judi Dench (2007-present).

DIBB Tip:

As this is the first attraction people see when entering the Park, it's normally the first attraction they will do, this means the queues form quickly. It's best to leave this attraction until late afternoon early evening, very often there will be no queue at this time.

Ride Opened: 1st October 1982
