    During my trip to Shanghai Disney, I crossed this. I just thought it was quite odd when I saw it. It's a show building for a Chinese acrobatic circus. Doesn't it look like they ripped off Spaceship Earth? They did a nice job.

    The Geo-sphere design has been around for a long time. I do not think that you can call it a rip off.

    Here is some images from the 1967 Montreal World's Fair and its symbol was also a Geo-sphere.

    Yeah, I didn't mean "rip off" rip off. But the dimensions, scale, diameter, appearance, materials, and facet positions were nearly exact to SSE. The alucabond triangles for this one are light golden rather than aluminum/titanium in color.
