Spaceship Earth
 |

| Travel through time inside Epcot's
landmark to discover the history of communication. Your trip starts in the
early cro-magnon period and merrily moves its way in around 15 mintes to the
present day (and the future). During the trip in in the 16 million pound
sphere, you'll pass through ancient Egypt, the Phoenician Empire, you'll brush
with the Greeks (who invented the alphabet) and the Romans and Benedictine
Monks. Onto the Renaissance and the Gothenburg Press before experienceing radio
and television and computers. Phew. And all in 15 minutes! You can't miss
it.....even it's just so you can tell your friends that you've been inside the
landmark! After the ride, as you exit, take a look at the 'Global
Neighborhood"
exhibit. Presented (like the attraction itself) by AT& T,
this is technology you can get your hands on. There are some state-of-the-art
payphones here, great for calling home and making those left behind real
jealous! (I'm so twisted.) By the way, there's a link on the on my Spaceship Earth Photos page which will take you to a page of photos of the construction of the sphere itself (or you can click here). Fascinatin' stuff. |
