Step inside the iconic sphere for a fascinating journey through the history of human communication.

- This has always been a favourite of mine. Maybe it's because the whole ride takes place inside of the huge, Epcot ball.
- I like this ride because of the atmosphere that you are immersed in, the cool story-telling, and the message that is conveyed.
- I probably enjoyed the last interactive part a bit too much. We made silly faces for the camera and laughed as our animated selves danced on the screen.
