Reopened after a major refurbishment (closed July 9, 2007) with Dame Judi Dench as narrator, a new Bruce Broughton score, reworked descent scenes, and interactive ride-vehicle touchscreens ('Project Tomorrow') that build a personalized vision of the future.
Reopened after a major reimagining with Jeremy Irons as narrator and a new orchestral score (based on Bach's Sinfonia No. 2); the near-future finale scenes including the network operations center, paperless office, and boy's bedroom were removed and replaced with a single Internet video-call scene.
Reopened after its first major refurbishment with new narration by Walter Cronkite replacing Vic Perrin, the added 'Tomorrow's Child' finale, and new near-future scenes (a paperless office and a boy at a bedroom computer).
Opened as the opening-day centerpiece of EPCOT Center, a Bell System-sponsored dark ride climbing through the history of communication inside the geosphere, originally narrated by Vic Perrin.
