Mission: Space Info?
Hi everyone,
I am new here, although I have been lurking for a little while. I actually just got back from Disney yesterday, finally got to go back after a fifteen year wait! Way too long! Anyway while my friend and I were leaving the Energy pavilion in Future World I wanted to take a picture of the Space pavilion so we headed over there. While I was trying to located some more film in my very full backpack I overheard a cast member who was with a group of people talking about Mission: Space. I know everyone is really excited about this ride so I sat on a nearby bench, trying to look busy, so I could listen to what he said. The group appeared to be on a tour and he was telling them the details of the ride. This is what he told them:
The gold ship in the pavilion is a model of the actual ride vehicle
There will be four people in each ride vehicle, each will have their own role in the mission
There will be simulated training for your role in the ride
Everyone will have a monitor in front of them, I believe he said in front of your face
The mission is to Mars
You will slingshot around the moon, experience ½ the G-forces of Astronauts, and brief weightlessness
There will be a post show on arrival at Mars
This is what I heard, obviously I cannot vouch for the credibility of his knowledge but I wanted to pass on what I had heard. After he left I got out my autograph book and wrote it all down so I would remember when I got back. As they were leaving he told the group as well, that there would be three new attractions by 2006-2007 that would be very good for the future of Epcot. Sounds great to me as Epcot is the park that made the biggest impression on me when I was on my first trip to Disney at age ten.
Please, please if you have already heard this info just ignore the post, I know some people have been flamed for repeating info, I would appreciate it if this did not happen to me. I tried to check back and see if this was already reported and some of it like the weightlessness I know I have seen elsewhere but I wanted to share everything he had said just in case. Anyhow, thanks for listening. I am sad to be home but this just means I get to begin planning my next trip, which hopefully will not take fifteen years to occur!!
