Disney has unveiled a sneak peek of EPCOT’s iconic Spaceship Earth globe’s new look. Two years ago, Walt Disney World Resort announced that it would be transforming each of its four parks’ iconic centerpieces into “Beacons of Light” that would have a unique illumination at night. Earlier this week, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley gave his followers on Instagram a sneak peek of Spaceship Earth’s new nighttime look. Spaceship Earth has had hundreds of LED lights installed in a “first-of-its-kind programmable LED lighting system” that seamlessly integrates into the geosphere’s nooks. “We are exploring visual poetry that respects the lighting legacy of this grand icon while bringing rich new depth and motion to life - all inspired by colors and textures that evoke stardust and the mystery and wonder of our universe,” Riddley wrote. “And we’ll be able to tie this program into the surrounding Main Entrance Plaza and new fountain and pylon lighting to fully immerse Guests with an experience that is … EPCOT.”
