Best Answer

The "Golf Ball" is a geodesic dome housing one of Epcot's main attraction, "Spaceship Earth" which, as you ride an omnimover spiraling all the way to the top, details the history and future of communication. It's the icon of Epcot.

The concept of the geodesic dome itself is that it's a remarkable structure; sturdy and economical, it might very well be the building of the future.

Spaceship Earth at Epcot is 180 feet tall. A golf ball is 1.68 inches tall. A 6 foot tall golfer is about 42 times taller than the golf ball. Therefore, to use Spaceship Earth as a golf ball you need to be around 7,714 feet tall, or just under 1.5 miles tall. An average drive for a golfer that size would be nearly 150 miles.

What is inside the golf ball at Epcot?

Inside the golf ball at Epcot is a ride called "Spaceship Earth." On the very top of the golf ball, however, is something very few people actually know exist. At the top of the ball (inside of course), there are a few conference rooms owned by the German company Siemens. This company is the same one that sponsors the Laser Light Show. Where is my proof? My dad is in the electrical engineering division of Siemens, and has helped work in Epcot (his company worked with Disney to create "Spaceship Earth").
