Mission:Space update (confirmed)

[Haymarket2008]

Someone mentioned this before, I seem to recall, but this could be the only way Guardians is incorporated into an attraction like Mission: Space.

Will it remain IP-less?

Space?

Probably. The ride anyway.

Hm. So they would possibly throw an IP in that quickly? Interesting.

I think you misread. The ride will probably remain IP free thankfully.

IP free thankfully.

I'm sure Disney will find a way to charge for that soon enough.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: SPACE Out!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: SPACE Out!

Thankfully no.

It'd be a worse demographic miss than SGE. For starters.

I never liked the training aspect, they should have made the ride feel like you were actually going to space for some exploration purpose and not in a training mission.

I like the ride though and updated graphics are welcome. New effects? I can't imagine what this could be...smoke effects in the less intense side? New lighting? I'm struggling to picture anything else with such a ride system.

There should be other ride experience changes.

Previously, the hubbub was that this refurb would include new missions, OR, it would get things ready for new missions to be added later. So, are you confirming that this refurb will include the new missions?

I would be all for adding/changing the mission. It would be better to add actual interactive elements (I.E. if you don't do the job you crash). I love the tech behind MS and don't understand why they haven't altered it, unless it has to do with the various legal issues between Disney and Environmental Techtonics. At the risk of getting flamed severely I would even love a simulator shoot-m-up where you use the joysticks to shoot at targets and earn points. Love Midway Mania and Buzz.

I believe he mentioned that Orange and Green would each have different experiences.

Any Exterior/aesthetic changes? New graphics, Horizons Tributes etc.

I always hated that aspect of Misson Space; it's not a simulator ride that let's you experience a Mission to Mars, it's a simulator ride that simulates another simulator ride.

It was bafflingly unimaginative, especially for something that was replacing Horizons.

You would have to have a full spacestation and Seabase Alpha-style premise for that to be believable. The long white hallway that leads to the postshow is the worst aspect of the ride and I hope it is addressed during this refurb.

Did they pick up a new sponsor yet? (maybe I missed this...sorry if I did...)

You know...SpaceX

 

[Robbiem]

I wonder if the refurbishment is related to Star Wars land plans. Disney could use the update to test elements of the new millennium falcon ride like the test track refurb was used for the Tron coaster

I hope this works...

That wasn't the question.

The story of the ride puts the tower in CA.

Yes, and Dinorama is ok because it's supposed to look like crap. A throw away line in the attraction is silly. It's a stretch at best.

 

[RSoxNo1]

How well did the theme of ToT really fit the rest of the park?

An attraction that takes place in the Hollywood Tower Hotel didn't fit into a park called California Adventure? I challenge you to name an attraction that's currently in the park that fits the overall park theme better than that.
