starting at the concept stage from when the ride was mainly behind a domed building, track the development through design and construction to the dedication ceremony. Then take a 1982 multi angle ride, using re -edited Cronkite version video footage interspersed with the aforementioned clips I produced.

Imagine if disney parks had sent in a production crew to film all their rides from the beginning to catalog them so we could always have a high quality pov of every ride ever created.

@MartinsVidsDotNet, Thank you for posting this video. I rode Spaceship Earth in its' original form when it looked like this back in the Spring ( Easter) of 1983. I wished that I would have thought to take video of it at the time, but back then, I was 4 and a half Years Old. I miss this, so thank you for giving me a piece of my childhood back. - Dwight

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I was a 19-year-old teen on my first vacation with NO parents (LOL) when I first visited EPCOT just after it opened. I remember absolutely levitating over the park and the future it presented. SO exciting.

Nothing was as cool as seeing those blue green lightning tubes / plasma tubes getting in to the ride vehicles and starting up that hill with the purple fog and smoke and lightning. I had no idea what was up inside that ball but it was such a great time to be EPCOT. Actually more exciting was rounding the corner on the monorail and seeing Spaceship Earth for the first time in purple and orange. Freaking awesome!

This is excellent! I'm also from the Jeremy-Irons-era, and you've given me my very first glimpse into the ride's earlier incarnations. Can't believe I've never taken the time to look this up myself. Well done, thank you so much!

Vic Perrin does the narration. He is the same guy who did the intro to "The Outer Limits" (...We will control the horizontal; we will control the vertical...)

I love EPCOT. I really love the old Jeremy Irons version of SE, but I don't hate the new one. It's just not as good. Disney is fantastic!

I thought Leonard Nimoy narrated the earliest version of Spaceship Earth? I wasn’t able to ride it - the day in ‘84 when I visited, lightning had struck the geodesic sphere and had disabled the ride - but I always heard Spock had narrated it.

Thanks for this, didn't get to see its original show. As mentioned before it was Larry Dobkin narrating, according to Marty Sklar.

@jamescbower 5 жыл бұрын

The narrator’s voice is unmistakably that of Vic Perrin, not Dobkin. Marty Sklar’s memory on this was, with all due respect, incorrect.

For some reason, my KZfaq stops it at the 10:23 (or so) mark (like the video is over), but I can click to restart it a bit after. This happen to anyone else? Or is it just my computer/KZfaq/Internet being stupid? But thanks for this! My mom, the first time we rode it (OCT 82) thought it was going to be a fast ride! Still laugh at the memory! :)

Anyone remember Iago & Zazu’s Attraction of the Week? It was a series of funny scripts on some website. I don’t think it was an actual licensed Disney thing. They did an episode about Spaceship Earth, and Zazu said Walter Cronkite was the original narrator. Seriously, banana beak, what do you have against Vic?

That's what a ton of nostalgia blinded 30 year olds say. Something from their childhood would close and they would go on a spew on how the new one is horrible and shit like that.
