If you’ve ever visited Epcot at Walt Disney World in Florida, you’ve probably experienced the ancient Spaceship Earth attraction. It’s been around since 1982. Disney decided it was time to reimagine the ride and began working on a redo last summer. It is now back and brand new, as you can see from the video above.

Disney said the more interactive do-over includes many new scenes, new costumes and set decorations, new lighting and special effects, a new musical score and narration, and a totally re-themed interactive post-show.

If you haven’t been on the ride, here is a basic breakdown from Disney:

On a trip through time inside the Spaceship Earth attraction, now sponsored by Siemens, guests discover how each generation of mankind has invented the future for the next generation, and how the spirit of innovation has moved people from caves to the cosmos. During the journey, new scenes depict: a family in the late 1960s viewing the moon landing on television; a massive, two-story computer room of the late 1960s with reel-to-reel- computers; a garage of the early 1970s where the ‘personal computer’ is born; and a ‘tech tunnel’ in which guests become part of a digital data stream.
