Spaceship Earth is the ride inside the 55 m geodesic sphere that is Epcot's landmark, opened in October 1982. Riders in Omnimover-type vehicles seating four spiral up through the sphere on a tour of the history of communication, from early language and cave paintings through hieroglyphs, the alphabet and the printing press to mass media and the internet. At the top the vehicles turn, and riders travel down backward while touchscreens build an animated picture of their future. The ride takes about fifteen minutes.
