Spaceship Earth is 164 feet in diameter and could fit completely inside the tank in The Living Seas aquarium (EPCOT), which is 203 feet in diameter.
The ride is housed inside the famous "golf ball" at the EPCOT theme park in the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida and uses the Omnimover system, the same one used at the Haunted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom.
If Spaceship Earth were a golf ball, the person hitting the ball would have to be approximately 1.2 miles tall (using the correct scale). The hole he would be shooting for would have to be about 417 feet in diameter. If the person was playing on the equivalent of a 200 yard hole, it would have to be nearly 134 miles long - approximately the width of Florida.
During 2007 and under the sponsorship of Siemens, Spaceship Earth was updated with new animatronics, new scenes, new soundtrack, new narrator, and a new post-attraction area.
The wand and the EPCOT sign have been removed for EPCOT's 25th anniversary and Spaceship Earth's reopening.
