EPCOT's Spaceship Earth Temporarily Closes After Guest Incident
Last week, EPCOT’s iconic Spaceship Earth attraction experienced an unexpected closure following a guest incident.
What Happened?
A visitor exited her ride vehicle during the attraction, prompting Disney cast members to halt operations for safety checks. This led to delays of over 30 minutes for other guests, some of whom missed the opportunity to experience the ride.
Spaceship Earth, which has been a staple at EPCOT since 1982, offers a journey through the history of human communication. The ride’s design and pace make it a favorite among visitors seeking a more relaxed experience. While Disney has not provided a specific reopening date, it’s expected that the attraction will resume operations soon.
In the meantime, guests can enjoy other EPCOT attractions and experiences. For those interested in a unique adults-only experience, the GEO-82 lounge remains open. Located within the Project Tomorrow area adjacent to Spaceship Earth, GEO-82 offers an upscale setting with premium beverages and small bites inspired by global cuisines. Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance, and guests must be 21 or older to enter.
While the temporary closure of Spaceship Earth may be an inconvenience, EPCOT continues to offer a variety of attractions and experiences to ensure a memorable visit.
