The New Spaceship Earth

I finally got a chance to ride Spaceship Earth last night. (BTW, the park crowds are so light now, especially compared to last month. You could actually get on Soarin'!) There was only a 5-minute wait (and not even that!) for the new Spaceship Earth. I can't really compare it to the old one, mainly because I could never stay awake on the old one. But it feels similiar. They added new effects and animatronics. Apple makes a cameo in it now. But the biggest change in the new interactive touchscreen at the end. Throughout the ride, you're shown how man has progressed through history and at the end, you're given the chance to shape the future. It sounds like a good idea on paper but I thought it was really lame. You're basically given a simple personality quiz and a cartoon plays in your vehicle showing the future you created. It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be but it wasn't such a great thing either. Seeing how I never really cared for Spaceship Earth in the first place, it doesn't bother me one bit.
