From WDWNT,

RUMOR: Spaceship Earth at Epcot Will Be Overhauled Once Again, Changes in Post Show Already Visible - WDW News Today

If they ruin Spaceship Earth, I think that probably will be the final straw that keeps me away from Epcot for a long time.

Shanghai Pirates tech ride through the Amazon.

Bring it on.

You're getting your new thrill ride with GOTG!

Man that is the most unintentionally hilarious location for Brazil

I’m lost. How so?

Nazis/fascists escaped to Brazil and other South American countries to flee the aftermath of WWII

There is a movie that comes out Friday that is about this very subject except it was Venezuela in the case the movie covers. It's about how the Mosad takes Adolph Eichmann into custody in 1960.

Except Mary Poppins.

Except Mary Poppins.

Which I’m actually slightly excited for. It’s not like there’s much land to play with in the U.K. Pavilion so the fact that they are putting a ride there at all is good with me.

Eichman was captured in Argentina, also a hot spot for ex-Nazi

You're right. I actually knew that. I don't know what I was thinking of.

I have the same problem with those two countries too... perhaps it’s the four syllables.

The balloon house was actually secret German tech.

The finale of spaceship earth is one of the worst in any ride. The ride definitely needs updating again.

I agree, it was cool when it first opened, but replacing (what feels like) one half of the ride with an interactive screen was kind of lame.

When it comes to SSE, I'd be all for it getting another overhaul if it meant the ride getting a better script/direction and a honest to god finale in the descent. Getting rid of the touchscreens would be a improvement in itself.

 

[OLSinFLA]

The problem with the descent has always been the limited space to work with. Between winding downward through narrow crevasses (inside of the middle) and crossing tracks, there isn't too much room except for small things.

I think the AT&T ending did a good job of adding vignettes, screens, holograms and even a semi big future city model. Sure it was strange mini people forced perspectives, but the soundscape and music made it come to life really well and at least it was something tangible to look at.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I wonder if this SSE overhaul is the tearing out of the ride system and replacing with a "thrill attraction" I keep hearing about.
