RE-IMAGINED SPACESHIP EARTH

Spaceship Earth is to Epcot what Cinderella's castle is to the Magic Kingdom. But more than a symbol of the park, this huge metal globe weighing over 8,000 tons is also an architectural feat: it was built without any scaffolding, by assembling more than 11,000 steel triangles. Epcot's symbol is also an attraction. Inside, an 18-story spiral traces the history of communication, from the first cave paintings to the Internet.
