Mission:Space update (confirmed)

[Fantasmicguy]

I’m thrilled at the thought of them changing mission Space.. I never could enjoy that ride. Always made me sick or feel to closed in

I don't think the ride vehicles or system will change much though?

Maybe after we "land" we'll go on a slow moving omnimover through different futuristic environments.

a guy can dream, no?

 

[MCast]

Wall-E. That's all.

Nope.

 

[Bairstow]

Nope.

Not even the screens for higher resolution models?

Sorry, I meant ride system / configuration.

Wait a second. Is the M:S restaurant going into the WoL building?

Maybe the sponsor lounge?

Edit: I mean the one in the Space building.

Maybe. I have no idea how big that area is. The official announcement said "The restaurant, which will be located adjacent to the park’s Mission: SPACE attraction" which made me think WoL, and the fact it's rounded too.

The lounge isn't nearly large enough.

If not Wonders of Life they could find a way to tuck it between Mission: Space and the outdoor part of Test Track. Seems cramped though.

They may have to bump out some space somewhere, but I can't see them dedicating the whole WoL pavilion for a restaurant. My (uninformed) opinion is it will still be in the Space pavilion.

Was it just me or did they say it's reopening next month? Does anyone have any idea what date, I need something to take the edge off the loss of UoE!

Agreed 100%. This is definitely interesting though. I hope everything there is freeze dried just like real astronaut food!

 

[Cosmic Commando]

I promise if they get the restaurant open for my trip in November, I will order appetizer, entree, and dessert.

So... it's still Mission:Space but it will just look better. And kids (and other Green riders) can stay in low-earth orbit? Does that sum it up?

Does that mean Green Team will have a lower height requirement?

Thats how I felt about how Chapek worded it, said its going to be more family friendly.

New films coming to Epcot's Mission SPACE and China Pavilion

 

[AndyS2992]

So just a new film for Green and Orange stays the same with minor adjustments? Why not make a new Orange film then the ride can be fully branded as 'new', would have been much more appealing.
