Spaceship Earth - Who's the new narrator?

[MICKEEP]

Does anyone know who will take Jeremy Irons place, as the narrator of Spaceship Earth, when it ever reopens.

There was a rumor floating about it was going to Dame Judi Dench.

I would have preferred they get Cronkite again.. But my vote counts for so little.

Knox

I heard a while back it was going to be Gilbert Godfried.

Good question,the narrator is a big part of your experience on this attraction.Well to me it is,so I am looking forward to see who does the narration of re-furbed SE.Sorry I do not have a clue will be watching to see the answer here in the Dis.

Isn't it going to re-open soon? I thought it would be open when I'll be there. I could swear I read that it would be operational... I hope so!

And bugger! I love Jeremy Irons!

 

[CanadianGuy]

The official word is mid-February.

Of cousre it could always be sooner or later than that. We'll just have to see.

i have very small bets on Tom Hanks

I heard a while back it was going to be Gilbert Godfried.

Oh wow...that would be AWFUL!! I don't think I'd be able to go on that ride ever again solely because of the fact that just hearing his voice gives me a panic attack!

It is NOT going to be Gilbert Godfried.

 

[ahowanitz]

It is NOT going to be Gilbert Godfried.

Yes...I realize that, I was just commenting on how horrendous that would be for all.

Probably should have made that more evident in my statement.

Apparently it is definitely going to be Dame Judi Dench, it's all recorded and ready to go.

 

[NedsTJ]

Who is Dame Judi Dench? I guess my ignorance is showing...

 

[WillCAD]

I had heard a rumor that it might be Patrick Stewart.

But Dame Judith has a nice voice; I think it will work well on Spaceship Earth.

 

[JulieBarlow]

Who is Dame Judi Dench? I guess my ignorance is showing...

She plays M in James Bond, well-spoken older British actress.

 

[Phedre]

I also heard the Patrick Stewart rumor!

We did the Dine with an Imagineer lunch and that was one of the names that the imagineer said had been considered but then he had moved on to other projects and he didn't know if that had been the final choice or not.

I would loooooove for it to be Patrick Stewart

 

[ntsammy5]

I'd like to suggest Ozzie Osborne. It would definitely be interesting

 

[jordancej]

BOO HOO!! I love Jeremy Irons voice.... sad that they are changing....

She is one of the all-time great actresses. Too many awards to count. Seriously a class act.

He is the voice of Iago the parrot from Aladdin. Very distinct & annoying voice.
