Mission Space on Travel Channel

[Tot Fan]

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything. So sorry if you've already heard about this.

I was watching Coaster Rush week last week on the Travel Channel and they were doing this little thing about Disney World. And of course they brought up Mission Space. They said it will be Disney's new attraction which will simulate the gravity that astronauts feel in take off, and what they feel in space. Like (wieghtlessness). I was just wondering if anyone knew anything else about Mission Space. I've been gone for the past 3 months so I was wondering if I had missed anything. Thanks

Yeah, I saw the same thing. I gathered the idea that it would be somewhat like lliving seas in the sense that you'd enter the ride, take off and land on mars, get out and explore and when ready, fly back home. I'm dying to find out more!

ON the show, they appeared to show a queue. Was that the real thing?

I thought the story behind the ride was that it was a astronaut training thing. I havent heard anything about getting off on Mars. I thought it was more of the idea of travelling not really a story travelling. I would love to see the Martian landscape... but I think that would be a little too much to upkeep...

Click on the Mission: SPACE link on the top of the WDWMAGIC page, it takes you to all of the construction photos which are pretty up to date, and you can also do a search on this site for Mission: SPACE, there should be a ton and more things to read, we have discussed it pretty much from every angle.
