11:15 , I lost it with big, manly tears. THIS is the Spaceship Earth I remember above all others, and not only do those emotional moments connect now more than ever, but I know that this version has become more or less reality, the age we're living in today. No wonder they had to change it, but maan does this bring back some amazing memories. The soundtrack alone, especially right at the end, remains far, far more incredible than the Judi Dench version ever was as a whole.
I couldn't agree more!! I like the Judi Dench version, but I LOVE the Jeremy Irons version. This was the one I grew up with and living in Orlando, I rode it more times than I can count. The best part is the soundtrack, and I always loved the globe at 7:55.
Totally agree! This version is amazing! I love the laser/fiber optic sky effect and can't understand why they totally shut down the end section of the ride.
If I were to number all four versions of Spaceship Earth from my 1st favorite to my 4th favorite here's how I would order them: My 1st favorite is the Jeremy Irons version. My 2nd favorite is the Walter Cronkite version. My 3rd favorite is the Dame Judi Dench version. My 4th favorite is the Lawrence Dobkin version. Here's why: The Jeremy Irons version is my 1st favorite because the narrator and his dialogue was great and there was wonderful, awesome music all around! The Walter Cronkite version is my 2nd favorite because Tomorrow's Child was awesome! The Judi Dench version is my 3rd favorite (in a bad way) because the music is bland, the dialogue is more appropriate for little kids, and its future doesn't seem real. The Lawrence Dobkin version is my 4th favorite (in a bad way) because everything's creepy without the music.
I always enjoyed this version. I loved the futuristic city towards the end!
I miss this version. Just went on it today. This version was my childhood. (Was born in 1999)

Oh my gosh I'm getting goosebumps just hearing that music again. That was definitely one of my favorite segments of the ride.

I remember the Cronkite version the the best.

I remember the ride broke down at 10:22 and we had to listen to that entire loop for
God knows how long....ugh
They lost their sponsorship so who knows who the next narrator will be
Goddamn Judi Dench ruining my childhood.
