Mission:Space update (confirmed)

[StarWarsGirl]

I just tried making FP reservations for late August for Mission: Space, and it told me it was unavailable. I'm wondering what that means for the attraction.

The attraction closed without a scheduled reopening date.

This site has it opening July 31: http://www.wdwmagic.com/refurbishments.htm

Which would be the very end of the desired late July timeframe, but the attraction closed without a set reopening date.

The project was actually brought forward by 12 months and is currently around a month behind the new intended target dates.

Martin, could you drop some hints on what this new version will entail?

I've scattered a few hints around this thread. I really shouldn't say any more.

It also had one of the best soundtracks heard on a Disney attraction. Just lesson to this!

Astonishing to hear it all together. So much music. I love the three Omnimax bits, so grand and uplifting.

Not sure of all the hints he dropped. Pre-show change? Graphics change? No green/orange sides? Am I missing anything? Not a ton to go on. Guess we'll find out next month or when it opens.

So @marni1971 is it now opening in September or will they try to get in open late August? If you can say of course.

As far as I know it should be open before then.

Fingers-crossed.

This is a shame, hopefully they will make up time! Answers my questions as to why I couldn't book fastpass for the end of August.

 

[DisneyGigi]

It wasn't available up until at least 7th of September when I made fastpasses yesterday. I am not going to lie, I was tickled pink!! Had promised my son I would finally ride intense version and am glad I got out of it.. at least this time!

Green is going to look particularly nice

 

[LieutLaww]

Does it have a reopening date yet ? (I may have missed it)

Green is going to look particularly nice

Any reason why green is getting more love than orange?

 

[Monorail_Orange]

Any reason why green is getting more love than orange?

Just a guess, but because there won't be orange anymore.

The way they go about it, the warnings terrify me, not gonna lie. I love rollercoasters, drops etc. but I get sick if I stand on a dock and it moves. I have high bp and technically shouldn't ride any thrill ride but I do. This one is the only one I am afraid of. I always panic thinking they put me on orange by accident. If it is all made into spinning- I guess it will be the only ride I don't do at all or I will literally be green!

I could almost see why they would do that, but that'd kill the ride for me. You'd be taking away it's one really neat party trick and turning it into a regular simulator. Keeping it orange and green the perfect compromise for everyone. Heck, making 3 sims be green and 1 orange would be fine.
