- After an in-depth look at the development process behind Spaceship Earth in part one, this second installment of the series will have us exploring the two earliest versions of the attraction. Not only to get us more familiar with the final ride experience (so we can better explore all of it's later changes in part 3) but also to see how it compares to the old Ray Bradbury concepts we discussed in part one.

Thanks for watching (and waiting)
Quick explanation: Up until last month , this video (Part 2) was going to be about 40 minutes long and cover all 35+ years worth of updates/changes to Spaceship Earth, all while jumping back to also cover the original Bradbury ideas and how they manifested in each of the different versions of the ride. The plan was to have it completed by the end of March as well.
However, as I got closer to that deadline, it became more obvious that the original cut of the video was way too and confusing, especially since it jumped around so much between all the different versions/years. So I decided to split the two up, and devote this installment to the Bradbury concepts specifically and have the next part covering the changes outside of that. Just in the interest of keeping things (somewhat) easy to follow.
All this is to say that Part 3 is already (mostly) completed, and will be out shortly. This wont be another case of waiting 9 months for the next part. Thank you all again for your patience and hope you enjoy the video(s).
Thank you Jack! have been looking forward to this!!!
40 mins of your content is never too long! Thank you so much for all you do!
Did me putting my Keep Epcot Weird shirt somehow magically get this posted today? Or did it somehow just get birthed at the right time?
Can't wait. Love these videos
3 months and counting 😢
So off topic...my daughter and I both have covid she's been so grumpy from the fever and cough and exhausted. I put this video on and she slowly falls asleep. She woke up a few hours later and I put another one of your videos on and she said in her cute little four year old way "I like his voice it's nice" thank you for the small amount of comfort you have given to her.
Two years later and where’s part three! I need to finish this incredible series
3 years* sadly I don’t think it’s happening
Just discovered your great channel! Hope you can do Part 3 some time!
Master piece.
Well worth the wait, roll on Part 3!
Still not here:(
please upload part 3!
great video! Typo around 2:01 "breif"
These videos are so great, but where is part 3? Did something happen that meant you couldn’t upload it since you said in your comment is was almost done?
By the way, I’d love to see the history of The Living Seas (especially the movie at the beginning)
Thank you so much for all your info on some of the best Disney attractions. Keep up the great work 👍❤️
Park Ride History videos are a warm blanket! The comfiest of videos!
Hope you're doing well! These videos are super informative and beautifully done.
I love the way you tie each scene to its own roots.
After realizing your view/sub count I’m genuinely saddened your content isn’t recommended more.
Given how many TH-cam channels there are covering theme park history I’ve always considered this channel one of the best, and it’s honestly shameful how lower quality channels are promoted way more than yours.
Really hope you start uploading again soon, as the amount of work you put into your videos always shows.
I simply don't get why this channel doesn't have more subscribers you put out as much information as several other channels on similar subjects and it'd a shame that this doesn't get more exposure.
I liked the 94-06 version best for the nicer ending but did love the detail on the Cronkite version of stuff from the artwork/ancient theater to all the TV/radio clips used.
One highlight of the old Birnbaum guidebooks was detailing which clips used when you only glimpsed them for a few moments.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but I already know it's gonna be good. Love all your videos about Epcot, a park i literally knew nothing about before I started watching them.
Love all your videos! I always learn so much!
This channel is super underrated! Kudos to you and keep up the amazing work!
Great video. This was a fascinating comparison of these early versions. Alas, I never was able to see this myself in person.
Always love these videos, especially Epcot.
Can't wait for more! Thank you.
wow 4 days ago...? I've been looking for Epcot history/fact videos for my upcoming trip and the timing is perfect. Keep making more videos like these! the way you present + progress is great.
Your channel and videos are so underrated. I love your voice, haha. Can’t wait for part 3 of this series!
I thought Spaceship Earth WAS Epcot for an embarrassingly long time. I only saw it in person when I was maybe 3 or 4 and remembered it being the size of a skyscraper. I was an adult before I realized it was much smaller than I remember and only one part of the park.
According to Walt's early sketches, you weren't wrong! It was all going to be in that dome to begin with iirc
I had completely forgotten about the Tomorrow’s Child song!
I was so amazed by all of EPCOT as a kid. I left inspired and curious every time. I wanted to learn everything about everything! It definitely doesn’t hit my kids the same way today. Not sure if it’s the changes in the park, or because there’s not a ton of new science & tech for the kids of today to look forward to. The science of tomorrow has changed from exploring new horizons to worrying about undoing all the damage of previous generations and making the planet livable in the future. Not very uplifting stuff to make a theme park rides about.
Anyway, the videos are great! Loved learning about the original script for Spaceship Earth.
What an amazing documentary. I can't wait for part 3 💗
Best thing I could have woken up to. :D Cannot wait to see this!
20:30 - "They'll come out galvanized and care". Meanwhile in 2021, they've been taught narcissism, selfishness, entitlement and a severe hatred for their own country to the point they're burning it down much to the delight of their countries enemies. Oh Ray, if only it had turned out as you ( and we ) all hoped. He lived across the street from my elementary school and occasionally came to visit a class or two. Meeting Ray was always a great treat, but I'm also grateful he never had to see 2020.
And the Oscar for the most dramatic comment ever goes to… YOU 🎉🏆
Thanks for another great video. Your videos, especially EPCOT ones, fill me with such joy. You really express the spirit of the park in your vids.
After part 3, please make the history of illuminations
Part 3 please!
I'm loving your videos in general, and specifically these ones about spaceship earth!!
Bravo. This was very well put together. I always thought the Walter Cronkite version was the best but after hearing it again, I think Dame Judy is better.
I love your channel and your Epcot documentaries. Recently subscribed and loving it
I remember the Epcot of the 1980s and 1990s. It all seems so outdated now, but at the time it was amazing.
Dude where you at? We need your beautiful voice back!
What an awesome video, I’m really looking forward for the third video, congratulations man
go off king, can’t wait for the next video
Is Part 3 still a possibility? I know the channel is going in a different direction now, but I'd love to see all the changes to the show scenes and such you had planned for part 3!
Great video. Better than a lot of the TLC stuff from the 90's
i've been waiting for this :D
Havent seen you post anything lately. Hope all is well
This is freaking dope!!!
Part 3?!
The original narration reminds me a lot of the narration of Adventure through Inner space. Less solid history and more philosophical.
There is no Part 3
You arena legend
Where is part 3?
here.
I hope you're doing well. Assuming you're still around that is. 🤔
More Epcot videos!!!!!
if i got tech/future advice from ray bradbury or isaac asimov, i would damn sure put it in the ride.
Great video, only missing the chariot projection speeding off in the ancient Rome scene... how I wish some artist would recreate that as a screensaver
Where are you man?
Very fascinating. You've been listening to Disney dish with Jim Hill haven't you.
Come on broseph. Please release part three
Who DOESN’T want to be whirled around by Ray Bradbury?
Will there be a part 4 diving into the changes brought on by the 2018-2021 [hopefully] park refresh?
Does anyone know where the music at the beginning of this video is from or the source?
What, no Anunnaki?
15:08 behond
That little boy selling papers... he does have a face!
why does the narrator sound like the voice actor of Optimus prime-
Peter Cullen has never narrated Spaceship Earth. The voice you're referring to is Walter Cronkite, who was lead anchor for CBS Evening News from 1962 to 1980. He was the one who broke the news to the nation that JFK had been assassinated.
Why the image is so dark?
History is important for everyone
But not like this.
6:06 annnd this must be the year Zionists began owning Disney
Are you trolling or just don't know about Flavius Josephus and other scholars from history?
@@Galacticbreaker Nope.
Both were from the same tribe no doubt.
They're such a beautiful people honestly. True power.
