Omg, I remember that, most of the pinpoints were in Florida but there were so many others sprinkled throughout America and the whole world, like there was even a few smack in the middle of Africa, idk why but I thought it was really cool
I'm taking a Media Studies course right now and I get so excited every time we talk about the Communication Revolutions because I'd already learned it all on my favorite ride at Epcot. :D
Oh yeah - I just remembered that. I think that's why I went on it twice. Once on my own and once with family. On a torturously hot Florida day rides like that are a welcome break.
The flashes from some inconsiderate fools camera ruined the entire ride just like in this video. I complained to the ride attendant and we got to ride it again. I thanked him when we saw him again.
iThemePark My little sister and mom rode together during our first time, and she accidentally pressed the button for Chinese. My mom was kinda annoyed at my sister so we ended up riding again towards the end of the day...good times 😌
haha I havn't been to epcot since I was very little and everytime someone says epcot i smell that smell and a rush of nostalgia. Its crazy how much it has changed. I remember when I went it showed something like skype as something far in the future and now its a reality
I love this ride. We always do it several times when at Epcot. It's one of those rides where you think it would be so cool to get out and hang up on some of the sets.
I love this ride. It celebrates human history and makes it come alive. The slow ascent (in addition to being relaxing) also serves as a metaphor of sorts, as humans reach new heights along the way. It’s a classic.
This one has always been my favourite at Epcot, in person the ride so much cooler and I think anyone would enjoy it! It looks "disappointing" bc it's videotaped. in person, I was very impressed
9 years in and I’m still watching this AMAZING video . My fav ride in Epcot it’s a classic and part of my heart and soul thank you for sharing these amazing videos for us we are so grateful 😊
BrielleJade_ official the point of a dark ride is to show you what the creators want to show you and to hide any unwanted or unneeded electriCal work or other things that do not add to the set
this is my favorite ride ever. i love history when its taught in a fun and exciting way. this was the only disney park i’ve ever been too until recently so it’s stuck with me.
I always loved going to Disney World during my school break or sometimes during school days, but this ride reminded me of my Social Studies class and I was like in my head, "No! I'm in school again!" but hey you learn something old or new each day whether it's at school, Disney, or wherever.
Keith Dean that’s called a newspaper, honey Kid: what’s paper? Parent: oh dear... Kid: hay, isn’t it like a news hologram but on paper, whatever that stuff is? Parent: honey... well... I.. suppose so..
Just seeing all the facets and segments of the ball up close makes me want to cry...I remember being astounded by the detail when I was a child. That IS the 80s for me.
My favourite ride at EPCOT and my 10 year old daughters too :-) shes loved this ride since she was 6 years old so i guess some kids find it boring but mine certainly loves it..... Its a true classic, educational ride x
was using this video to show a family member the ride after my school trip, the map that i took on this ride was one of the best power naps I’ve ever experienced.
i dont think kids nowadays would appreciate this ride like us 80s and 90s babies. As a kid i thought this ride was boring but the visual aspect of it always intrigued me.
I actually enjoyed this ride more than i thought i would. its not your typical crazy ride but its just a nice leisure ride. its worth seeing and its very interesting! I loved epcot especially because i love traveling and it was a nice "cultural" experience
The symbolism of this grand old attraction is remarkable. As humanity learns to communicate effectively we gain the ability to make positive changes in our world. The silver orb this attraction is housed in represents the unified positive world we can create through the simple act of communication. Too bad the audio does need some work.
I did always appreciate those kind of Omnimover rides or whatever they're called. Peaceful and a good break to just relax. Horizons was also like that. People Mover also, along with the Imagination ride
They seriously need to do something about people who take flash photographs on rides. It totally ruins the vibe for everyone else in the area. How about some consideration for other riders?
It's due to there being narration coming from the speakers in the headrest and the scenes have their own audio. I'll have a new video of this ride with the narration loud and clear in the near future.
I hope that the updated EPCOT Won't be ruined! I haven't been there since 2003. I loved seeing the show. One of my favorites! Everytime we left the park it would be at night. We would always be on the monorail and the way Spaceship Earth would be lit up at night was so beautiful. I have a button of it.
This is my favorite ride at Epcot. It's so inspiring and beautiful. I could have sworn there was a section with sets that visited the present era and an imagining of the future. When I went the other day they stopped somewhere in the 70's or 80's I believe, and just went backwards, then a screen with my picture and a questionnaire came up. They could make the sets even better, and Epcot needs updating all around.
The animatronic Roman soldier reminds me of Octavius from Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. I found this ride very interesting, especially the part where it feels as if you're in a planetarium with all those stars.
Awesome! I could ride this all day. I'll have to settle for the next best thing and watch this video until I get a chance to go back. Thank you for sharing this "time"less attraction about time.
The first time I rode this ride was in May of 1994. I was six years old and the ride got stuck as we were passing by the kid yelling "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" I'm not sure how long we sat there listening to that annoying kid but it felt like hours to my six year old self. They eventually turned all of the lights on and we had to evacuate the ride. My parents and I went back to Epcot later in the week and rode it again. I remember being terrified and I held my breath as we went through the area where we had gotten stuck the first time. I was glad I went on it again though as it ended up being one of my favorite rides.
I'll never forget... I was riding this and we were going up and it just stopped. We were leaning back and all we could see were stars. Took about 10 minutes to start up again
I rode this the first year Epcot opened. This ride has changed a little. I remember a part where the ride approaches a billboard. When you pass the billboard you saw a motorcycle cop waiting on the other side.
My first visit to Florida (from Scotland) was September 2013. We go back in April. We are so excited. Me, my husband, his mum and dad, his sister her husband and two kiddos who will both be 3 and 5 years old. It really will be magical.
I was about to buy a ticket to epcot, but my family wanted to see the princesses (plus i wanted to ride the monorail) so we went to magic kingdom instead. But now for my birthday we are spending the day at epcot
First rode in October 1988 when the Cronkite version was about two and a half years old. Was blown away by it. I liked the "your vehicle is rotating through 180 degrees" warning at the top which they replaced with a more simple warning in about 1994.
Same, except I didn’t like this ride because I’m afraid of heights and my friends and I researched it and saw it was a slow ride but it was too high for my liking and I dislike going down backwards from heights. It’s ok if you like it I just know that I’m never going to ride this again.
Bruh that part where you go backwards into all the stars is so cool, I remember being like "NO, I DONT WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS I WANT TO LOOK AT THE STARS"
I loved the ride back down to the starting position. even though I can't see, I couldn't help but imagine myself floating through outer space. I just closed my eyes and relaxed. It was so peaceful. I couldn't hear as much of the spoken-word throughout the journey, though. Did they feature the part with the great fire? I'll never forget that part. I could feel the heat and actually smell smoke. Let's hope they didn't take that out, too. It was such a wonderful history lesson in time and the effects were spectacular. I don't remember the part with those questions or the interactive screen, so I wonder if that was new? Great job, too, on the audio. I know it was hard to include everything, so I know you did your best.
I love this ride so much, I went to Disney in February 2016 for a gymnastics competition. Now it is march 2017 and my aunt and cousin are in Disney world and same with one of my best friends. It is spring break. I am so freakin jealous this is how I cope
+Chrnan6710 sorry for the question and it might seem dumb, but it wasn't like rollercoaster backwards/tilt down, right? from the video it seems to be very slow.
Went on this ride about 4 months ago and loved it. I am from Australia so we don't hav rides of this caliber here. Would love to go agiain. Miss that burning smell in the library.
I love this ride, and the animatronics have improved so much! On my last ride, the whole ride stopped because a handicapped person was getting on, and I seriously stared at one of those guys for 3 minutes and could not tell he was fake. The Pirates animatronics are much better too! Makes me want to go back~
When you get off the ride, there is a huge map and it shows you where other people are from during that day at EPCOT.......I think it's pretty neat.
Omg, I remember that, most of the pinpoints were in Florida but there were so many others sprinkled throughout America and the whole world, like there was even a few smack in the middle of Africa, idk why but I thought it was really cool
And to think all of it is inside the giant ball at Epcot.
Douglas Roth yea
@@andrewleis1426 r u dumb it is
It is lol
I remember going on this ride as a kid and just being in awe at everything around me, the feeling I get is indescribable.
This is my favorite ride at Epcot (I'm a history geek 😐)
I'm taking a Media Studies course right now and I get so excited every time we talk about the Communication Revolutions because I'd already learned it all on my favorite ride at Epcot. :D
I agree
Has anyone else noticed the distinctive smell this ride has? I love it!
Courtney Morlock what smell are you talking about?!?
It’s dry ice mixed with liquid smoke.
Deez nuts
I always remember how strong the AC was on this ride.
Oh yeah - I just remembered that. I think that's why I went on it twice. Once on my own and once with family. On a torturously hot Florida day rides like that are a welcome break.
Ikr and when Rome fell the smoke was crazy
God I hate people who take flash pictures on rides.
And when people are talking when they are talking about safey stuff
Tyler Reeves yeah can they like leave the phones alone like
Flash isn't even necessary on most of today's cameras.
Tyler Reeves oh I loved the flashes when I rode. Gave off light.
Keep working in the world to outer space
The flashes from some inconsiderate fools camera ruined the entire ride just like in this video. I complained to the ride attendant and we got to ride it again. I thanked him when we saw him again.
+Gregory Faith what? its just a ride Greg...and why didn't you told the person with the flashing camera to be kind and put the flash out?
Gregory Faith oh I loved the flashes when I rode. Gave off light.
Its a light-giver.
@@neitel17 ruins the electronics
You're tearing me apart Gregory!
I did this ride and loved it. Unfortunately I accidentally pressed language to Japanese instead of English so I was so confused aha
+Lara Paige lol 😂. When I ride with my niece she always picks a foreign language.
iThemePark My little sister and mom rode together during our first time, and she accidentally pressed the button for Chinese. My mom was kinda annoyed at my sister so we ended up riding again towards the end of the day...good times 😌
Omg I would soooo do that😂😂😂😂😂
Omg when I go on this I always hate going backwards
This ride had me sick
One of the greatest rides in Disney! I've always loved this ride even when I was little.
Oh the smell oh the smell....I can smell Rome from here!
haha I havn't been to epcot since I was very little and everytime someone says epcot i smell that smell and a rush of nostalgia. Its crazy how much it has changed. I remember when I went it showed something like skype as something far in the future and now its a reality
Iv'e noticed that smell also in Disney rides , What is it?
Not only the Library but the ride has a certain air conditioning smell as well. Am I the only who tries to smell it while watching the ride?
It seems like all rides have a certain smell , I notice that also
Such a nice smell, I wish I can have a candle of it. XD
I love the overall aesthetic of Epcot. It just feels amazing
I love this ride. We always do it several times when at Epcot. It's one of those rides where you think it would be so cool to get out and hang up on some of the sets.

Yes, it's a little boring, but man, one of the smells that will last a lifetime is when you pass the burning ruin of the Library of Alexandria.
OMFG I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT, THAT SMELL IS LITERALLY WHY I CLICKED FOR A POV VERSION OF THE RIDE
+Moondogg22 That is one of the things I remember most from my trip to Disney last year!!!
+CamHunt15 it's not just me!! That stuck with me since I was a little kid!
+Moondogg22 Agreed!! I was so happy it was still there after they did all the ride updates a few years back!
Moondogg22 ik it smells like fire
Judi Dench narrating is just the best!
One of the most beautiful rides in Disney history.
That fire smell will last a lifetime
Mr. Disney would be proud. Before his death he had already planned a future park.
Mia(:
(:
May he always be remembered in our hearts.
Damon Alexander Lewis His name is Walt Disney
Damon Alexander Lewis, he left thinking that Epcot was going to be a real Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow.
He wouldnt, this ride is in epcot. Disney wanted epcot to be a community, not a park.
This is a must at Epcot
I FREAKIN' LOVE DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True dat my friend!
Jack Wolf ya
Jack Wolf me too
same
Me too
I LOVE Spaceship Earth. The scenery, the music and of course that amazing smell!!
9 years in and I’m still watching this AMAZING video . My fav ride in Epcot it’s a classic and part of my heart and soul thank you for sharing these amazing videos for us we are so grateful 😊
I went on this ride a lot when I was younger as my family used to go to Florida for our holiday and seeing this brought back so many memories
I'm from SoCal and all this time I didn't know that the big EPOC ball thingy was an actual ride...wow
same
I learned more from this ride than an entire week of school.
fullermrff same
Epcot
fullermrff no offense but what has your hometown got to do with the ride in the Epcot ball
Starting at 7:41, you can see that the three gears are formed together to make a mouse.
#hiddenmickey
Ray-Ray B. Are they though?
Ray-Ray B. Where
Every ride at disney has a hidden mickey
I always yell "no flash photography " when people take photos
Mike Fortier lol I’m so late too this vid but I really just wanna know does it really work when you yell that? Lol 😂
Woodard Family that is cringe lol2 +😉=CRINGE
Mike Fortier I love when people take pics! It give off light
BrielleJade_ official the point of a dark ride is to show you what the creators want to show you and to hide any unwanted or unneeded electriCal work or other things that do not add to the set
BrielleJade_ official and it’s also against the rules
this is my favorite ride ever. i love history when its taught in a fun and exciting way. this was the only disney park i’ve ever been too until recently so it’s stuck with me.
THIS IS A FUN RIDE!
This makes me miss Disney so bad, I remembered so many memories going on this ride.
Our favorite ride/attraction at Epcot. Just an amazing and immersive experience. Well done to the Imagineers!
I always loved going to Disney World during my school break or sometimes during school days, but this ride reminded me of my Social Studies class and I was like in my head, "No! I'm in school again!" but hey you learn something old or new each day whether it's at school, Disney, or wherever.
As a huge history nerd, this is actually one of my favorite things at Disney World.
Just watching this make me tear up I miss disney world SSSSSOOOOOOO bad
7:50 one day some kid is going to be riding this and say, "Mommy, Daddy, what's he holding?"
Keith Dean that’s called a newspaper, honey
Kid: what’s paper?
Parent: oh dear...
Kid: hay, isn’t it like a news hologram but on paper, whatever that stuff is?
Parent: honey... well... I.. suppose so..
What does it say?
Ok boomer

YGTII I loved when people did that because it gives off light
YGTII it’s those fucking people from other country’s speaking French and Spanish and when they speak French they act retarded and are fat fucks
@@watchmemovex8773 uhm,..... what the f**k no
Brielle Jade it ruins the whole ride
THIS IS MY FAV DISNEY RIDE EVER.
It's just a trip through time that's what it is and it's just absolutely fantastic
It's the 1st ride I go on at Epcot.
I remember thinking this ride was so boring as a little kid, but it was always my parent’s favorite ride… i finally understood it once I got older 💖
This is one of my fave rides at Epcot 💗💗💗
Always enjoy this ride. Video is great, but its too bad you cannot hear more of the narrator in this video. She sounds drowned out.
It's due to there being narration coming from the speakers in the headrest and the scenes have their own audio. I'll have a new video of this ride with the narration loud and clear in the near future.
+iThemePark but you could have imposed the soundtrack as others have done.
iThemePark cool
Cindy Genest hjhjjjbhuhuu
I dont really care about the narrarater
I have been on that ride when I went to DisneyWorld. So COOL!
You can almost smell it!! It smells really good.
9:07 thats a pokestop
One of my favorite rides at Disney World! I’m sure if Walt could come back for a day he’d love this ride most
I loved this ride. TIP when they take your picture make the funniest face possible. It helps when you get to the end.
I hope that the updated EPCOT Won't be ruined! I haven't been there since 2003. I loved seeing the show. One of my favorites!
Everytime we left the park it would be at night. We would always be on the monorail and the way Spaceship Earth would be lit up at night was so beautiful. I have a button of it.

I love this ride. I've probably been on it somewhere around 50 times. 3 in one visit. I just find it so relaxing and peaceful.
+Shane Bales it's one of the most relaxing rides in all of florida. I always try to go on it multiple times if the line isn't too long.
I like the Epcot center
i LOVE these animatronics, they’re so real!
The animatronic Roman soldier reminds me of Octavius from Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. I found this ride very interesting, especially the part where it feels as if you're in a planetarium with all those stars.

This is one of my favorite rides at Disney 😁
8:40 anyone notice the board game "Mouse Trap" set up behind the couch?
RollOnToVictory Thanks for pointing that out. Gotta love those little details Disney puts in the attractions.
Its a Hidden Mickey.
I'll never forget...
I was riding this and we were going up and it just stopped. We were leaning back and all we could see were stars. Took about 10 minutes to start up again
I rode this the first year Epcot opened. This ride has changed a little. I remember a part where the ride approaches a billboard. When you pass the billboard you saw a motorcycle cop waiting on the other side.
Sometimes I'll just be minding my own business but then the smell of Epcot will just appear out of nowhere and then I'll get upset
Caroline Frolo why...? Wondering because I’ve never been on this ride
omg i have done this ride over 10 times i love it and i'm sad they are changing it but i know it will still be awesome
The ending cartoon is a throwback to the 1950's. Yay for progression!
Most excellent! A lot of time and work went in to this magnificent display of technology!
epcot is best to go to at night . Cannot wait until June!!!
I leave to go to Disney world in 14 days :)
My first visit to Florida (from Scotland) was September 2013. We go back in April. We are so excited. Me, my husband, his mum and dad, his sister her husband and two kiddos who will both be 3 and 5 years old. It really will be magical.
I love IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
The Pharaoh's animatronic & the Greek philosopher's animatronic unnerve me with how fluid their movements are
I love this ride! When my family and i saw earth on the ride IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO COOL
I was about to buy a ticket to epcot, but my family wanted to see the princesses (plus i wanted to ride the monorail) so we went to magic kingdom instead. But now for my birthday we are spending the day at epcot

When I went on this ride, I nearly fell off when the ride went backwards and tilted down o_o
When I first rode this.... I wasn't prepared for the picture and when it flashed I nearly screamed, I sorta did but I kinda stopped myself....
+Chrnan6710 sorry for the question and it might seem dumb, but it wasn't like rollercoaster backwards/tilt down, right? from the video it seems to be very slow.
+RebelAngel1625 its probably one of the slowest rides in all of disney world, along with its a small world
+RebelAngel1625 No, it wasn't. It's a bit hard to explain.

#ThingsThatNeverHappened
I love this ride! It's one of my favorites at Disney World! I just went in December for the second time and I already want to go back.
Went on this ride about 4 months ago and loved it. I am from Australia so we don't hav rides of this caliber here. Would love to go agiain. Miss that burning smell in the library.
Couldn't wait to watch this...somewhat different since I rode it last, love it
The details are SO GOOD
You rarely see it this empty! Great ride!
That ride was very good and we all enjoyed it. We were there in feb and really enjoyed the parks.
Great video! I did like Jeremy Irons' narration better, i must say.
Even better than the Cronkite version.
I love this ride, and the animatronics have improved so much! On my last ride, the whole ride stopped because a handicapped person was getting on, and I seriously stared at one of those guys for 3 minutes and could not tell he was fake. The Pirates animatronics are much better too! Makes me want to go back~
This ride is officially closed now. We will miss it
Total upgrade since I went as a little girl in the late 90's!
I remember the first time I went on this ride, I was 12 in 1984, 35 years exactly!
Is it just me, or did I hear Judi Dench's voice on the ride's speaker back in 2012? I was like, AWESOME! 'M' is my tour guide! *LOL*
I remember when I went to Epcot and I got to ride this, I loved it!
