Mission: Space Idea

Ok this is what i think it will look like:


Insted of a spinner like everybody else thinks i think it will be a motion/3D simulator like Spiderman but it doesnt move in relative to the ground but shakes. You will be sitting in chairs or pods with other people, facing a circular screen. A 3D movie then will be projected from within the screen like big screen TV's do in a 360 type manor so all the people around the whole circle get their own view. As the movie plays your vehicle shakes like Star Tours. So you will get the sensation of blasting off and moving. The ride will be like every 5 min due to it being more like a show than a contineus moving ride like the Haunted Mansion. While the people are waiting to get on their "pods" they will be briefed in a breifing like testrcks but much larger. And thats what I think the rides going to be like. :sohappy:

I would go and read some of the info on the ride on these threads before you profess to be an expert and a know it all. ues this attraction is still under wraps officially some information has been released and some clues given as to what the ride system is going to be. If it were going to be a similator like star tours ther wouldn't be the huge circular concreat foundations mesuring around 20 feet accross(est)

and go here to see that sat pic if the foundation system

You are probably using IE 6.0 hold your mouse over the pic and you'll see a little button pop up in like 2 seconds click that and it'll make it clearer and i wasn't trying to be a know it all everybody. I was only saying what I think the ride is going to be like.

The attraction is being provided by ETC under a very expensive contract with Disney. I recently managed to "Trick" them into confirming as much via a recent e-mail, by casually complementing their work on the attraction, within the letter to staff. After the fact, there was a follow up letter that was kind of ... concerned... from someone higher up, about who I was. (I write pretty good letters when I need to)

The attraction is more or less all out there for people to examine. It's composed of individual pods suspended on gimbals that work on x an y axes, each supported at the end of a "spoke" coming from a hub. Once you board concealed entries to the pods, the centrifuge begins to spin, almost like a very high tech "Dumbo" ride. That's kind of a disservice to the techonology, to mention Dumbo in the same breath. However, each pod has its own high definition (I don't know if they'll use 3-D and synchronized helmets, but I wouldn't be surprised) video display, simulating your view of space, takeoff, etc. I DON'T know anything about the actual film portion of the attraction.

However, the g-forces from the centrifuge, combined with the x and y movement capacity of the pod movement system, combined with convincing in-cabin sound and film effects, gives you the bulk of the thrill portion of the ride. There are four centrifuges with (I think) a dozen pods in each, which would allow for a very high max cap per hour, something in the 2000 range, I believe.

I wasn't the first to point out ETC's likely involvement in this endeavor. But here's what really made me send the e-mail:

1) They first announced a deal with a "Major entertainment company" that operated Theme parks, to provide LBE's (Location based entertainment) to a variety of locations FOR that company. Shortly after this, it was confirmed that ETC was making the "Virtual Space Mtn" devices for DISNEYQUEST (intended originally for numerous locations, but now only one exists).

2) Two years later, in January of 2000, within a few months that MISSION SPACE was announced, ETC announced a contract worth over 25 million dollars initially with the SAME entertainment company they'd been working with before, and gave a timetable of THREE YEARS to fully produce the needed product. 2000 to 2003's scheduled opening of MISSION SPACE, and that fits perfectly. It also fits with the rough budget numbers that have been thrown around for this attraction. When you figure that the ride film will likely cost as much as the ride vehicles, then throw in an extremely complex building to house it, and pre and post-show elements, maintenance costs (which will be high), this all fits.

So I wrote the letter, and it was funny that they actually thought they were being pretty clandestine about all this, when their site has actual computer mockups displaying sections of the ride system.

So sorry... no wraparound movie screen... you will have a screen in each and every little pod, and that's akin to the simulators Nasa uses for training purposes. And that's essentially what they're posturing this to be, a flight training facility.

Should be fun... and hey! less than a year!

Bingo! But they won't look that austere and boxy ON THE INSIDE. They'll be more ergonomic and very cool.

You also (as I understand it) won't actually see the structure you are entering... entrances for each pod will line up with gantries designed to provide an illusion that's much more aesthetically fun.

Oh I am shure the attraction will be "Dressed" and the guts will be hiden. That is also a CGI image and crude compared to the accuall installation
