Exactly. Disney has been saying from the original press release of this attraction in Spring 2000 that this would show the challenges of space travel. We, if anyone, should know that the hardest parts are take-off and landing. One major difference between this and the other disney space flights is that you will FEEL as though you have actually been in space after four minutes...ask astronauts to compare Space Mountain to space travel This ride will experience a space much more thrilling and dangerous than the one we see on Space Mountain, with flying cookies and the lights turned down

BOOOOOOOOOO!

I think I'm with everyone else on the forum. I was expecting an actual space mission simulation. When an issue of Disney Magazine came out a few years ago, it talked about the ride actually feeling like you are being launched into space.

I love test track, so maybe I will like this too. I was just expecting something different. :veryconfu

Dont jump to conclusions people. Just cause you hear something, doesn't mean its actually true. The only way we will know what the final outcome of Mission: SPACE will be, is when it opens sometime in 2003. (Hey, that ryhmes!) What ever you see or hear is just speculation, nothing is official until Disney says so. Since Disney aint say nothing, nothing is official.

I am very sorry about the Columbia tragedy. It sucks that it happened, but please use the space story. This is just disgusting. Oh well, I hope you guys are wrong about them changing the story.

I still perfer to see a movie with the WTC in it then eddited.

It will still feel like a real space flight...that is what the $200,000,000+ is going toward...you will feel strong G-forces during the launch and landing (which will be violent), and zero-g's in space...it will feel like a real flight, only disney is being realistic here...I expect the preshow to explain that while they would love to send all their guests into space, that's not realistic...so they will give us the next best thing--probably the closest most of us will ever get to space travel. This ride will be nothing less than what you read in the official press releases or in Disney Magazine.

I don't mind what the story is like; I know, indeed, that Disney's Imagineers will fulfill my dreams... I trust in them.

But I got one question: what are you going to see on the screen of your pod, assuming you're just "training"; are you going to see space? Fake space?

Anyway.. I'm so impatient.
:sohappy:

This is EXACTLY why I'm so disappointed that they're TELLING us it's fake! I'm sure it will feel quite "real," so why does the theme have to be you're on a "simulator?"

If it's going to feel "real," why not theme it to be a "real" space flight?

I get what your saying now, but it still makes no sense. Disney has never uttered the words "It will be a fake mission" but instead, go pick up a recent copy of Bernabaums Official Guide to WDW and look for Mission:Space. It says: "Guests will fly in a top secret mission into the cosmos going to an unknow destination." And lets not forget all the other articles on it, they all say guests are ready for Space flight.

Nowhere does it say that M:S will feel "real" but not be real.

That was my point all along. In all of the M:S information released by Disney... they make is SEEM like it is going to be this top secret mission... but they decided to go with a space training theme instead and decided to lead people on!

That change in theme has nothing to do with the Columbia tragedy. They decided on this ever since it got the greenlight. However, the original plans from WDI were to have it themed as a real mission.

You are missing the story, guys. This is not an attraction, but moreover a pavillion. The preshow and main show will prepare you for your secret mission, with the trainer being the best part. The post-show is your top-secret mission, as a giant game. As for what is on the screen, it will be real space--NASA trainers look the same, not like Atari with green lines...they are trying to make this as realistic as possible for us--first you are trained in the history of space flight, then you are trained how to fly on the ride, so that for the real mission, in the post show, you know what you are doing--while the climax of this attraction will be the physical training, you will still do everything that press releases showed. Realize how extensive the Space Pavillion will be...it has been designed from day one to be a place guests can spend about two hours before seeing everything...this is how it differs from Test Track...not just a ride. (of course, some higher ups would argue the gift shop is the climax of the ride...).

Yes, it was...the post show was to be a space station...only problem is this attraction would have cost about $400,000,000 if they had done that...which NO company would agree to pay.

Mission: Space We Choose To Go!!!

The meaning is we choose to go to, to explore, to examine, and to understand SPACE.

We Choose To Go is refering to space flight itself, not the ride.

I understand what the meaning is. The only problem with your explanation is that the poster wasn't made to honor space and exploration. It was made to hype the ride. It isn't on display in a museum. It is for promotional purposes. In other words... this is what the ride will have. That being said... I DO understand what DogsRule is saying. I didn't realize all of that about the post-show. Thanks for the info DogsRule!

I choose to go to space, not another test track!

You will get as close to space as the original ride concepts called for (excepting the 400 foot tower rumor....)

Yeah, what the heck was with that? A 400-foot tower?
