Spaceship Earth

In this 15-minute ride, guests explore 40,000 years of the evolution of communication. You travel through the sphere in 2-person vehicles as 65 Animatronic figures depict significant milestones in communication from Cro-Magnon man to the present, with a special section on the future of technology and global communication.

The ride is based on a concept developed by science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury and is narrated by Jeremy Irons. This is an educational ride that even kids usually appreciate.
