Mission:Space Question...

[crazygirley]

Does anyone think or know if Mission:Space will be open, or have a soft opening by June of this year? I'm just curious, because I'm going in June.

 

[WDWspider]

I'm going in May??? Seems like we should be hearing something on this attraction now???

 

[wild01ride]

With all the hooplah, I don't think anyone knows anything about any true opening dates

 

[wdwmagic]

There are no opening dates at this time. Anything you read/hear is speculation right now.

The current speculation is that the earliest it may open is late July 2003.

Late July

Late July is perfect, I'll be there in August

Just kidding; the earliest, the better!

I'll be there Feb. 2004- I'm skeptical about M:S by then...???

Nevertheless, I'll join the minion (sp?) of finger-crossers!

 

[feenie]

we are going in September and are HOPEING that it will be open by then! Of course we went once assuming that Test Track would be open, since it was in the guide books and everything....
I really hope it does not have all the delays that happened with that!

 

[meanmice]

I would really like for it to be open by may so that i can get some info on it before going. I do want to show my boyfriend all of the cool rides that disney has to offer.

This might be a dumb thing to say but if you haven't heard the Space Shuttle Columbia apparently exploded during the beginning stage of its landing this morning.

Does anyone think that Disney might take this and possibly delay the opening of Mission Space seeing its so close to Cape Canaveral where Columbia was headed.

Its seems weird to link the two but it might be something Disney might have to look into too unfortunately.

It's confirmed by NASA
and I've seen it on CNN (horrible)

Another 7 good people lost...

The space shuttle Columbia, carrying a crew of seven, broke up Saturday morning 200,000 feet above Texas. More soon
Watch CNN or log on to http://CNN.com /AOL Keyword: CNN for the latest news.

The opening of Mission Space would certainly have been delayed if there were not already problems. The media is going to (unfairly) crucify anyone who glorifies the space program for the next several months.

It's possible, Universal delayed Twister when the Hurricane hit so close to home, but it is still a good half year away, so I don't think it will affect the ride.

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

I certainly hope it doesn't affect it, I don't really think it will though, because the opening is still quite a long time away!

I would not really blame the media so much.... I mean... think about it ...does Disney/NASA want to really push this ride if all shuttle operations are grounded/halted and a massive investigation is under way.. al la Challenger 1986?

They (Disney) could hold back... as a PR move.

 

[DDPGambit]

Do you think it's possible that Disney might dedicate the attraction to the Columbia crew? I think if they put up a nice plaque near the entrance where everyone could see, that would be fitting.

Mission Sapce is fro,m the furthest of anything today we all lost 7 good people today.They should be remembered and not worry when Mission Space will be opened.
