Wow, I didn’t know that there are specific conditions to voicing an opinion on here. People that see things they don’t agree with on a post called Unpopular WDW Opinions and get snarky about it maybe shouldn’t be posting. My opinion is just as valid as yours. Now excuse my while I plan my next trip to WDW that will include the DDP for myself and my family so we can eat the delicious food offerings at WDW.
No argument from me besides the Maelstrom one. Too much unthemed space in Frozen.
Universal is terrible.
Unpopular Opinions:
1. Star Wars is supersaturated and represents the death of Hollywood Studios, and the Walt Disney Company in general.
I'm rather thankful they didn't try to shove it into Space Mountain like they did at Anaheim.
"SO YOU LIKE STAR WARS? HAVE ALL THE STAR WARS HA HA HA!"
2. The new Mickey Mouse shorts are painful to watch because the design is just plain butt ugly. I don't honestly see this new Mickey ride lasting more than a few years because of that aesthetic, and it's going to tick off a LOT of Mickey fans who grew up with the classic cartoons. That THIS was the Mickey they chose to base a ride about shows just how little the company cares about its corporate mascot.
Pictured: Far more offensive than the dirty jokes that got James Gunn fired.
And unlike tweets that can be deleted, these Ren-and-Mickey cartoons will be around forever.
FOREVER.

I don't even think it was the best of epcot's line up during that time. (my award goes to imagination or world of motion)
I think the big problem with Mission Space, besides the upchuck factor on Orange, is that they placed emphasis on the guests participating in the "mission," but had no reward or consequences for just sitting back and doing nothing. It destroys any real sense of an immersive experience.
Yeah I was really expecting they would fix that when they announced the update. Or at the very least have randomized missions.
I'm a little confused, the immersion factor happens when you actually participate. I think that in the case of a theme park ride that means that if you do the assigned task, when you are told to do so, you feel a real time reaction. It is the image of real participation not the actuality of it that makes it immersive. It would be impossible to have separate consequences for each individual pod much less each person. One thing for certain is that they are not going to intentionally disappoint people by having any single person to blame for a failure. That would be beyond immersion and into nightmare both for the individual and the theme park experience itself.
No, but it is possible to have branching ride films so that if someone doesn't do their appointed task, they're either reminded or you hear something to the effect that the "onboard computer compensated for your mistake. Be careful. Mistakes cost lives!" Even if the eventual outcome of the ride film is the same, an illusion of control can be better simulated. Branching sections make for re-rideability. They should have either added some form of limited interaction or else done away with the useless prompts.
Useless prompts? Did I stay out of class the day they went over the process of operating the ship, without prompts? Are we absolutely sure it is going to work any specific way? All I've ever seen are vague thoughts about either how it was actually going to work or how they would like it to work, without any real thought about not only the possibilities of accomplishing that or what the overall emotion that the persons that did it wrong might carry out of the ride and into the real/fake world of Galaxy's Edge! This has got to be a good experience for absolutely every single person that rides it. They are their to have fun, not be pointed out as failures. We all have enough of that in real life.
Are we talking about the same thing? The Falcon ride in GE currently is testing a lot of interaction with consequences. What they've found is that taking that to the extreme whereby a mistake can ruin the experience is going too far. They're in the process of dialing it back so that the consequences aren't "fatal." That's the kind of experience that would make a huge difference in Mission Space. There are events that are triggered by mistakes, but they aren't ones that affect the overall outcome of the attraction. As it stands, there's absolutely no reason to bother pushing the buttons in Mission Space. It's something they have the tech to fix, but they just haven't.
