Readers' rating:
Defintely one of my favorite Epcot rides. All the AA's are awesome and I love how the end is different everytime I ride. Worth riding especially if you're into history. 8/10 - Christopher Sturniolo Only an 8?!?! This ride shows history in the best way possible! A must see! 9/10 - Eric Cartman This ride is a deceptively fast-loading one and so, when you see the line winding around the building, that is the full extent of the line. There is no queue area inside the building. The ride is educational and, from time-to-time, a scene gets refreshed to make it more relevant. It's a good place to cool off from the heat of the day so I would not advise going on this as you enter the park because that's what everyone is doing. - Keith Forrest Very good dark ride, the computer film at the end, in which you get to see yourself on screen, is hilarious. - A. P. Its intersing learning about the past and I really love when they show youre future. - Giovanny Cruz Although I find it quite boring, I can appreciate the little details of the ride and love thinking I am in a Giant Golf Ball. The end is a good laugh which increases the score for me. 6/10 - James McGee Spaceship Earth has been updated since our last visit. Now we have Judi Dench narrating the history of communications and an interactive element during the descent (though we could NEVER find our photo after we had departed). Managing to fit an attraction inside an oversized golf ball is an achievement in itself and it is pretty good. Queue - The queue is part inside/part outside and goes down fairly quickly. - Mark Williams It was once a dramatic (indeed, epic) sweep through our history... later brought down to Earth by a low-bid narration and the horrors of 'plussing'. - Man-Eating Sharks Firstly, to actually build a ride inside a huge golf ball is a brilliant concept and a great achievement! This ride is interesting, with Dame Judi Dench as the voiceover telling you all about the history of communication. The interactive video at the end not only passes the time for the descent but is fun and personal. - Ben Price A very good ride. I like the timeline of humans on the ride. 9/10 - Sebastian Kontic This is one of my favorite rides; I just love this ride. I love the history of communication (I love the part with the munks copying books by hand and one of them is fast asleep). The new addition to the ride is amazing! I love the funny video with the people (which insert a photograph of the riders that is taken at the beginning of the ride) walking funny and riding in Jetson like vehicles. We ride it multiple times just to see all of the scenerios. Then you can e-mail yourself the videos/pictures and watch them over and over at home. Did I mention I love this ride! - Laura Milton More attraction and restaurant ratings:
