Mission:Space update (confirmed)

[wdwmagic]

Is the new height the same for both missions? Or does the orange have a higher height requirement? What's everyone's opinion on a 4 year old riding the more intense of the two? I haven't been on this ride in years, wondering what's the extent of these changes. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't take a 4 year old on Orange.

I'm pretty sure green and orange are the same in terms of length still.

Sure but don't forget that you slept for about a month on the way to Mars. That would make it seem longer.

 

[No Name]

But there was also nothing wrong with the script either.

Oh, I'd say there is something wrong with it. At times, it suggests you are simply going through flight training, and at other times, it suggests you are actually going into space.

It should really stick to one story or the other.

"Welcome to Mars!"

Oh crap you're right. So orange is about 3 months longer than green now. What a rip off for Green team now.

And yet, the admission price has remained the same for either one. What a corporate money grab.

Agreed - that bugs me.

If they can handle the other 44" rides (Everest and Space Mountain) first, then I would probably take them on Orange. As the parent, you can probably tell what they're ready for; don't be afraid to ride it first to refresh your memory (assuming you're with someone else who can watch the kids).

They also have the new space telescope added as well. I forget the name, but it matches what will be going up soon.

Yup! They replaced the Hubble space telescope with the James Webb Space Telescope. Let's just hope when it launches and deploys everything goes well.

Did anyone who has ridden the "new" orange team notice the g-forces aren't as strong? I (disobeyed directions) and closed my eyes to make sure it wasn't just better graphics making it seem different somehow, and it still felt less forceful. You felt it but it wasn't anything near what it was before, or when the ride first opened.

Interestingly I have heard many people say the exact opposite. I have not yet ridden but I suspect there has in fact been no change at all.

To me it really depends on the kid. Do they like thrill rides already? Do they obey well? If I didn't trust them to keep their face forward at all times there is no way I would put them on Orange. Looking around leads to protein spills...

Just rode at rope drop. Green insanely weak, like wow that's not "kid friendly" it's for kids. Orange is better than ever.

Can one of our insiders find out if there's been any changes on the forces? It's probably in my head but I'm still curious.

FYI, wheel is still dark on Sunday. I guess that's the new lighting now.

 

[MrNonacho]

The centrifuge is as fast as it ever was.

Can anyone here compare this ride to a graviton or super round up? I have not been on anything other than green but would like to try orange. I can handle the graviton and super round up but anything faster than that I don't think I'd be able to stand.

Never been on those and I've only seen videos of those kinds of rides. I'd guess yes, you'll be fine.

Sadly, the ride still sucks.

Green was always like that though.
