EPCOT’s Space Earth – Beacons of Magic Lights (Photos)

Herb Leibacher·August 17, 2021

Once again, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley is sharing behind-the-scenes photos of the construction progress at EPCOT. This time, Riddley showed the new “Points of Light” that will illuminate Spaceship Earth.

Here is what he had to say on Instagram:

Our new lighting system for Spaceship Earth is something entirely original – a first-of-its-kind programmable LED lighting system invented by our very own Imagineers to integrate seamlessly into the iconic Spaceship Earth façade. I’m proud to share today a few pics from behind the scenes of the project, led by Imagineers Jason Read and Galen Lande.

Riddley mentioned that the team is able to connect the programming of the new lights on Spaceship Earth into the EPCOT Main Entrance Plaza and fountain pylon lights. Disney will reveal the new system for the 50th anniversary starting on October 1, 2021.
