Mission:Space update (confirmed)

[Princess Leia]

Considering the fact that she did an amazing job on three shows I've watched (an action show, a sci-fi show and a horror show), I can definitely say yes.

Edit: Not Zoe Saldana, but you're very, VERY close when you mentioned Summer Glau. I'll leave it as a surprise.

Is it someone who's been a passenger on a Firefly? Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres (please be Gina Torres)?

Or maybe someone who's better known for slaying vampires? *cough Sarah Michelle Gellar cough*

Or Eliza Dushku or Amy Acker? Charisma Carpenter (Probably a long shot)

I'm really feeling it's one of Whedon's stars.

Last clue and then you'll find out for yourselves: Yes, she's a Whedon alumni.

Where'd you get this info?

 

[Marc Davis Fan]

I hope the new pre-show/"reimagining" helps clarify that it's a training mission. That confused a lot of riders. It would also be good to clarify that you don't have to use the control sticks until specifically told to do so - lots of people spend the entire ride trying to drive the ship!

 

[BoardwalkGlenn]

Given these hints, I feel like it would be one of:

Amy Acker
Eliza Duschku
Morena Baccarin

I loved Gina Torres in Alias, Firefly, and Hannibal (?)

Did anyone guess Sarah Michelle Gellar yet?

Oh my! As a huge Whedon fan, I'm excited for any one of these to be true!

 

[RSoxNo1]

It's been a few years since I've been on M:S but where is the Gary Sinise animatronic? Also, the Sigourney Weaver one is soooo bad. I hope it just gets scrapped. Looks nothing like her!

The Gary Sinise animatronic is in the pre-show videos.

 

[ToTBellHop]

The Gary Sinise animatronic is in the pre-show videos.

It's the most realistic I've seen.

The first woman who comes to mind when someone says nerd cred is Felicia Day, and she is certainly a Whedon alumni.

Fun fact, the legs are made of a titanium alloy, it's what they use on the space shuttle.

I like this guess. Disney has their hooks in her, because she did voice work on Star Wars: Rebels within the last couple of years. She would be an awesome choice.

 

[rocketraccoon]

A good look at the new wait time/massive warning list sign.

Also the back of the new Mission: Space sign features Mars and Earth swapped from the front side. Weird!

 

[rocketraccoon]

Actually, this makes me curious. What were the original warning signs before the deaths and the Green Mission? I feel like they must have been a lot shorter.

 

[Next Big Thing]

It's probably one of the other woman tossed out there since they are bigger names, but i'll toss this one out there (just for funsies).

[PizzaPlanet]

- Gary Sinise is officially out. His replacement, however, should satisfy many science fiction fans because of her nerd credentials.

It's gotta Ellen, reclaiming her presence in Future World East.

 

[180º]

A good look at the new wait time/massive warning list sign.

Also the back of the new Mission: Space sign features Mars and Earth swapped from the front side. Weird!

Interesting, the new warning sign reads "BOTH OFFER THE SAME EXHILARATING TRAINING MISSION BUT DIFFER IN INTENSITY."

This is confirmed to be no longer true, so why write it on the new sign?

They really need a proofreader.

 

[disneyC97]

Interesting a lot more changes than I expected, thanks for posting this! I'm. A bit sad at Gary Sinise being replaced... Nostalgia and all.

I didn't like that he was noticeably reading from cue cards.

Going to the Space pavilion, you're leaving Earth to go to Mars. When leaving, the opposite.

Or the imagineers had a fight over which way to do it, so they just did it both ways.

Space holds a terrible power.
Please allow the Shover Robots to shove you into your seats.
They will protect you from the terrible secret of space.​
