    Why do you make it seem the rides closing down when it’s false information

    1. It is a good place to have a ride stop unless you need a restroom break.

      1. Katie

        This ride is definitely in need of some maintenance and updating. It broke down briefly near the same spot when I rode it in december. The dust is awful, too.

    2. Yes- Taylor I thought the same thing. I had to go back and read the title again.

    3. Arc

      Exactly, We was there yesterday june 25th . And its still open and we got to ride it!

    4. You got that right…,

    Why lie?

    1. Brenda

      Because lying in the US is now required, by edict of the dictator.

        No need to bring your political bias into this, ahole

        1. Daryl Mc.

          We don’t need your fake cursing either, idiot

            Fun to make things up and pretend 46 didn’t have dementia. Talk about liars.

          The felon absolutely wants to be a dictator. Do you not pay attention ?

          1. Roger

            The Felon got put out of the election by his own Party. He still doesn’t know it. There is no felon in the Office of POTUS, his charges were all reversed. Do you not keep up? The Lame Stream media has not reported it because they are mentally ill, like you.

        Moron.

    I was on the haunted mansion on Sunday and it broke down. We did get evacuated with the lights on. I just wish I was further along to see more lit up

    I was on the Tower of Terror ride when some idiot kid unbuckled his safety belt and that triggered an automatic shutdown by their safety system. We had to get out if the car and walk down to the exit behind the scenes but it was a cool experience because we got to see how they create the special effects. They put us right back on the ride except for the idiot kid who got ejected from the park.

      You can’t undue your seat belt in that ride

      1. Ralph

        You can’t undo the seatbelts either.

      2. Rery Ro

        What if they’re overdue to be undued?

        1. Js

          Dude!

    A loooonnnnggg time ago, I got stuck on It’s a Small World for what seemed like forever. It was torture hearing that song over and over and over and over… never went back on it again.

  6. Jack

    Liar. I hope you get shut down.

  7. Just seeing Spaceship Earth would make me get excited because EPCOT is my very favorite park! When leaving at night seeing it all lit up, made me stop in my tracks. I was always in awe just looking at it. I miss it right now.

  8. I wish I were there right now. I don’t need much. I feel great knowing that something like this makes me so very happy!

    At least you weren’t stuck on this ride when it stopped three times. The third time being towards the top. I literally saw a cast member walking past me when I was lower in the ride . September 2019. And I didn’t get a free lightning Lane or any compensation.

    1. Ralph

      They were probably helping people with mobility challenges onto and off of the ride.

  10. Bob

    You’re all dorks!

    1. Amy

      lol Bob

  11. Robert

    One of those boring Disney rides that people go on out of nostalgia.

  12. Ralph

    “I’m a Joker, I’m a Smoker, I’m a Midnight (tik) Toker!”

    I was once inside Space Mountain when “something” (I have no idea what” happened and they had to turn on the inside lights. I actually got to ride it that way. It was scarier than riding it in the dark. I wish they’d bring back all the dioramas in the queue there. They were funny! Spaceship Earth, Carousel of Progress, and other such rides are very dated, but that’s part of their charm. I hope they never change/update t them!

  13. Rery Ro

    Yeah, but do they lose credibility? You need to tighten up your loose use of words

  14. Patience Coleman

    Last August 2024. We got stuck on figments ride into imagination. I will forever have that catchy but most annoying tune stuck in my head. We’d move like 3 feet and it would stall again.

  15. Joe

    Closing Spaceship Earth after 42 years? Douglas Adams was right … “The answer to life, the universe, and everything…” (You probably won’t like the answer)…
    Nope I don’t like it… Not unless they make a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy ride, would I enjoy anything they replace it with….

  16. Drew

    This is the norm for this site, unfortunately. You can’t even call it out as what it is in the comments or it will get blocked. Let just call it, a press lure site.

    Many years ago my husband and I got stuck on space mountain. All the lights came on. I had trouble getting down we were on an incline and I have very short legs. My husband and a cast member had to help me out of the cart.it was pretty neat seeing wat it looked like inside. There is even a elevator inside.

  18. Kaden

    😳 oh wow! That’s unbelievable. Thank goodness my family went there last year summer. Because we wouldn’t have had the chance of riding space ship earth.

    It’s closing for refurbishment in August. It’s closed nor is it closing for good

    1. Johnathan

      *it’s not closed nor is it closing for good.

  20. Rich V

    I bet eventually it’s totally changed to what’s inside the
    Eurosat Dome, saving Disney tons of maintenance money.

    My parents told me about a time they got stuck when they still had the mammoth animatronic and were stuck listening to that thing trumpet for almost an hour. Remember this was when it was all new.

  22. John Kroupa

    Another memory destroyed by Disney’. First frontier land and now this. What’s next, The Haunted Mansion? Already lost If You Had Wings and Mission To Mars and the Skyway Gondalas.

  23. April Morocco

    Definitely not the first shut down in 42 years. My family and I were there about 6 years ago and had to be evacuated. They couldn’t get the ride started again. We were clear at the top when this happened too. Free lightning pass for us as well.

  24. Why i had so much fun
