Effect Restored to Spaceship Earth Ahead of Reopening at EPCOT

Ahead of its reopening, Spaceship Earth has had a lighting feature on the exterior of the attraction restored.

Restored Lighting Features

Spaceship Earth’s entrance at night glows with new Epcot lighting and sleek design—no castle, just iconic geodesic curves.

Spaceship Earth has been closed for refurbishment since late August, and one of the tasks Disney is focusing on is refreshing the exterior (of the base building, not the geodesic sphere).

The restored lighting effect comes after Disney either replaced or refreshed several sections of the vertical panels.

One of the attraction signs outside the entrance now shines with green and blue LED lights, as pictured above. For now, only one of the signs has been repaired, though sources say the team is working on fixing the other as well. The lights have a shimmering effect, which you can see clearly in the video below:

The entrance has also recently been repainted, giving the exterior a fresh look. As for the interior refurbishment, guests will have to wait and see what Disney has updated on October 25, when the attraction is scheduled to reopen.
