Wonderful thought provoking Epcot Orlando.



You are confronted by the large globe which is space ship earth as you enter Epcot in Disney Orlando Florida, what's inside I hear you ask, well you are in for an entertaining experience of audio and visual affects that you will remember for many years to come.



Space ship earth is a moving spiral tour through mans development of communication throughout the years, it is very interesting; you will be entertained by the world's best supplies of Fun, that's Disney. These gentle moving cars will take you through early history, through the beginnings of mans time on earth, through his early methods of communication including the development of the printing press.



Highly realistic visual affects together with realistic automatons illustrate how Man conquered the world with words, words after all are mans most powerful drug, without words we would not have the skill to describe our own space ship earth.



You will see Snow White and the seven dwarfs, that most magical iconic Disney cartoon which still entertains children of today, many of us grew up with these wonderful tails of human injustice created by Disney for our entertainment, you will remember that snow white was the subject of rough justice at the hands of the wicked witch.



Your tour of mans communications continues to the top of this magnificent earth model where you will be met by the night sky and the beautiful constellations which have drawn man's imagination for many years, gaze up at this interesting roof display and wonder what really is out there, thoughts such as are we really alone come into ones mind, where will man travel in t the vastness of space.



Your car slowly brings you around the top of the globe, where your car is gently moved backwards and slightly tilted for your journey down to the exit point. Here you will experience the birth of radio and television which has done so much to bring other inaccessible parts of the world right into our own sitting rooms. You will see the fiber optic lights flash as they propagate signals around the globe; this is an illustration of modern communication. Fiber optic technology by the use of a signaling light source's transport information from all corners of the earth and light speed.



Epcot and Space Ship earth is a wonderful visual and audio experience which is highly entertaining and educational for everyone in your family group, it only adds to our amazing journey through time and our innovative ways of creating world wide communication.
