Mission: Space Horizons Circle Thingy

[WondersOfLife]

So the big circle thingy in the M:S queue line.... I swear it used to circle round and round didn't it? I was there last July and it wasn't moving. Has this been broken for a while? Or is my brain playing tricks on me and it never moved to begin with?

You are correct, it can and did spin, but hasn't spun for a number of years now.

Just be a Yeti toy. Maybe a strobe light is in order.

I went in late May-early June. We went to EPCOT twice and I did Mission:Space a lot. Never did see it spin.

It's been broken for years.

Pretty sure I read a rumor that the "gear" or part needed to fix it was actually in storage next door at Life. If that were true they should have had it fixed by now. Have you ever heard this?

I imagine Disney's thoughts on fixing this are basically.. "Eh... Who's gonna notice?"

Or they assume that if it stays broken long enough, guests might start to question whether it even moved in the first place

 

[JIMINYCR]

Too many guests in the Green stand by line were getting sick from watching it spin, so they decided to cease the movement for everyone.

I believe it's an artificial gravity-wheel section of the fictional spacecraft Mars-1 or Mars-2 from Mission to Mars with Gary Sinise. I've never seen it spin myself...

 

[Phonedave]

Oh yes, it did spin. Well spin is too strong of a word, rotate slowly is better. The logo in the center of it is also the original Horizons logo. Kind of a tribute -now on a long broken queue display.
