Found this in the Sentinel;

Walt Disney World and Siemens AG are giving Epcot's Spaceship Earth a new spin, updating the ride and its technologies.

Work already has begun in the attraction's post-show area, which is now closed as Disney installs new interactive features to transform it into "Proj ect Tomorrow: Inventing the World of Tomorrow." Broader changes, including updates throughout the ride, will be phased in over the next few months, forcing a closure of the ride later this year.

Spaceship Earth, housed in Epcot's signature structure, a 180-foot geodesic sphere that can be seen for miles, offers visitors a slow, circling, indoor train ride past a series of panoramic scenes depicting the march of time, technology and creativity from cavemen through the late 20th century.

I think this ride needs updating as it is a little dated now, so that's good news

It's not the main ride but the area after you get off the ride.
In the old days, well when we first went, it was sponsored by AT&T and now it's Siemens.

We did it Saturday evening and at the moment consists of a few video game booths.
The one we played had you placing pieces of the human body in the correct place to complete the body (shadows show you where so you don't feel stupid ).
The novel thing was that it was 3D and you wear those funny yellow 3D Disney glasses. So you pull the pieces to and from you as well as left and right.

The only other one there was a driving type game, not great but better than nowt....
