Spaceship Earth Epcot Attraction
Affectionately known as the “golf ball” by many guests, Spaceship Earth is not only a great attraction but is also the symbol of Epcot. Inside the giant geodesic sphere guests experience a journey through time and the development of human communication. The trip includes a look at ancient Egypt, Greek theater, the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, Turn-of-the-century America and even a glimpse of the future. The ride represents one of the last of the original Epcot Center attractions from 1982, although it has received some major upgrades over the years.
There is no height requirement for this ride.
