Still, I could listen to Jeremy Irons read the phone book and not go to sleep. I love his voice. No offense to Dame Judy Densh, but Jeremy Irons will ALWAYS be Spaceship Earth to me.

Spaceship earth could be a good nap. But I enjoy the ride to much to sleep through it.

I would have hoped he would pass on the current narration script...

That is an interesting point. did he? I am guessing they didn't even give him the choice, they wanted to try someone new.. I wonder if he knows and what he thinks about it.. maybe he doesn't care... but I do..

Carousel of Progress
Country Bear Jamboree
Hall of Presidents
And only because I've ridden these a billion times, not because I don't like them! They are just nice air-conditioned shows.

Not sure if I'm the only one that thinks this but I always fall asleep in Universe of Energy. After the "big-bang", I can close my eyes and sleep until I the end. The loud noises wouldn't bother me because by the time I would hear them I would be in REM sleep...or close to it at least.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks that ride is boring and definatly a good place for a snooze.

B.E. or W.E.?
(that's "Before Ellen" or "With Ellen")
I think many of us have already mentioned this one earlier in this topic thread, so you're not alone on this one...

That's pretty short though ~ it can't be very refreshing!

...and what a way to wake up when the rides over, hearing that song about the "Big Blue World"...

I do love Peach though... she says some pretty funny things like how she can turn her stomach inside out "Amuse your friends!" Pretty funny.

Big Blue World is good wake up music. I usually feel most refreshed after short naps so Nemo is perfect for me. I can't fall asleep during Spaceship Earth because I enjoy the scenes. Am I the only one who enjoys that ride?

Spaceship Earth is great ~ the current dumbed-down narration is not

Have you been on it since they've switched over to the Judi Dench narration?

Yup, I liked it. Since I have been on the ride so many times, I know the spiel.
