It didn't take long for noticeable changes to appear concerning the "deconstruction" of the 257 foot tall, 50 ton Mickey arm, glove, wand and EPCOT logo atop of Spaceship Earth. Each letter of the ECPOT logo is 36 feet tall and when combined are covered with 250,000 reflective eye-catchers. The picture below was taken at 2 pm today. The work is expected to be complete shortly before the 25th anniversary of EPCOT, October 1, 2007.
Spaceship Earth is currently closed and undergoing a fairly extensive rehab and expected to open sometime in November 2007. Enhancements to the time-travel attraction will encompass changes to each of the ride scenes. New show scenes will be added to the attraction's story along with new lighting effects, costumes, set decoration, narration and musical score. This adventure through time leads ultimately to the very top of Spaceship Earth's geodesic dome, where guests arrive at the present. The time travel adventure will be enhanced through new, interactive touch screens installed aboard each "time machine" that will enable guests to create their own visions of the future and see themselves in that future.
