    Default Tournament of Attractions!: Epcot FINAL: Spaceship Earth VS Soarin'

    It's time for the finals, everyone! And for the Epcot Region...it has all come down to this!

    EPCOT REGION FINAL:

    SPACESHIP EARTH
    VS
    SOARIN'

    WHAT TO DO:

    Vote for the attraction you enjoy more.

    The next poll (the final in the DHS Region) will be posted within a couple of days.

    Remember, EPCOT and DHS are on the west side of the board; AK and MK regions are on the east side. We're getting very close to finding out who the grand champion will be!

    Happy voting, and have a Disney Day!

    This was probably the toughest one yet! I enjoy both attractions immensely, but had to give Soarin' the nod due to technology implemented.

    I had to go with Spaceship Earth. To me it is just a classic ride. I've not been yet to see the updated parts, but will go in October.
    I love Soarin' too, but for me I went with Spaceship Earth.

    Although I remember my very first ride on SE and the excitement I felt, it didn't give me goosebumps like Soarin'. Soarin' had to get my vote!

    Oh no, this one was almost impossible! lol

    While I feel that SSE deserves special recognition as an Epcot original (and is one of my favorite attractions!) I don't like the new ending as much. So, my vote went to Soarin, which I love as much as SSE!

    I would give soarin' my vote if the screen was High def or something. The film looks grainy and takes a little bit away from the experience...

    Gosh, this IS tough! I love both of these attractions, but had to give the slight edge to Soarin'. I love SSE, but liked it a little better before the refurb. Either way, I could ride either of these over and over, and never get tired of them!

    Tough choice, even with the rehab, Spaceship Earth. Never miss it when we're down but I can miss Soarin'

    Ugh! Hated having to make that decision but at the moment it has to be Soarin'. The ride technology could make this another Disney classic.

    I have to go with Spaceship Earth just because it was one of my dad's faves and it holds such sweet memories for me.

    Although SE is a favorite of mine and a timelessly classic ride (with the exception of the new upgrades and changes), I had to vote for Soarin' just because it gives you a ride experience like no other....anywhere!
    I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

    Spaceship Earth is very educational but you just can't beet Soarin for entertainment value!

    I hate to vote against a classic, but SE usually gets stopped while we're on it (haven't been since the rehab) and I love Soarin' so much I had to go with it. Had SE gone up against something else it might have been different for me.

    Soarin'. No doubt! Before the refurb on SE, I would have had to think about this one. No longer. I really think they goofed up on the second half of the SE refurb. Here's hoping they'll try something different!

    When I first saw the choices, I thought it would be a difficult decision. I like Spaceship Earth, but I really enjoy Soarin'. To me Soarin' is fun. SE is something to ride and look at from a 'see how far we have advanced' standpoint. I am looking forward to seeing the new ending of SE.
