Spaceship
Earth, a huge geodesic sphere, is the centerpiece of Epcot's Future World and serves as
the primary symbol of the entire park. Designed in part by science-fiction writer Ray
Bradbury, Spaceship Earth takes guests on a journey, yes, the slow moving ride winds up
and down inside the sphere itself through the history of communication, from Neanderthal
cave paintings, to the telegraph, to radio, to television and beyond. This ride is a
must-see and deftly captures the spirit of Epcot.
EXHIBIT: Spaceship Earth presents Global
Neighborhood, an AT&T production which includes the hands-on exhibit of communication
technology and equipment at the exit of Spaceship Earth.
DINING: The Fountain View Espresso and Bakery serves espresso,
cappuccino, pastries and desserts. Innoventions East features the more substantial dining
experience. The Electric Umbrella Restaurant features a counter-service restaurant that
serves chicken sandwiches, burgers and salads, open for lunch or dinner.
