M:S closes June 5th, rumored to get show changes. Reopening sometime in late July.
I always reference back to the optimism there was at Epcot when it was being built and getting ready to open. Everyone was so excited, like there was electricity in the air. When they had the town hall and showed everyone a rough fly-through of the courtyard and a quick stick figure thing of the ride system, everyone was thrilled. When the music first came on the courtyard everyone stopped by to hear it. When they let folks in to play-test Mission: SPACE Race - so many ooh's and aah's over the building, the courtyard, the spinning globe. People stopping and reading all those glass plaques.Yes, I saw that on Magic. Hopefully they get a new mission. That ride has become old before it's time......Such a waste of a really beautiful facade & pretty good queue. I actually like most of the attractions at Epcot, but I just can't get into Mission Space. It's like Twister was to me, easy to skip during a vacation.
I remember following construction so closely and was fortunate enough to be in town when they initially soft opened. I was so let down after riding it.I always reference back to the optimism there was at Epcot when it was being built and getting ready to open.

Shortly after the official opening it became a sort of soylent green "something is very VERY wrong" sort of dread and dismay. Most of the cast hadn't experienced the ride because of how the opening and previews occurred. What they did see was the guest reaction and often adverse reactions. It wasn't pretty.
So... if there's something they can do to get it back to where it was before it opened.. capture that sense of awe and wonder and "gee, aint this neat" then I think the attraction could be a success. But if it's just lipstick on a pig, tear it down and start over.
Seeing it all up close is why i tend to "read the air" -or whatever the japanese expression is- and not buy much into the hype when new things are announced or getting ready to open. Like Pandora has a distinct "meh" from AK's cast.I remember following construction so closely and was fortunate enough to be in town when they initially soft opened.

Excellent evaluation. Right on.I always reference back to the optimism there was at Epcot when it was being built and getting ready to open.

Or if they considered at least having a wider viewing angle - tall people and short people cant really see the screen without craning.I know the small screen is trying to mimic a real spaceship view, but thus ride would have been so much better if there was just one sizable enough screen in each pod to feel much more immersive.
Well it has killed two people who would arguably be alive had they not ridden it.I haven't been on this ride in years. Is it really that intense?
Those two people had heart conditions though...Well it has killed two people who would arguably be alive had they not ridden it.
I will go on almost anything, and I went on this last September. I cannot believe such an intense ride exists at Disney. It literally took me and my partner a day or two to recover from it, it made us extremely sick. I don't suffer from any form of motion sickness and I've never felt sick on a ride before.I haven't been on this ride in years. Is it really that intense?
I believe the people who died were generally healthy and had no idea they had a heart issue and may never had known throughout a normal life.you cant blame theme parks for guest not reading warning signs.besides people got hurt on the energy ride.
Yeah, I had no knowledge of the ride when we rode it. When we were asked do you want spin or no spin? I was like spin is fine, I've ridden much worse rides. I've been on the simulator at Kennedy Space Center a few years back and assumed that it would be no worse than that, all of the warnings are basically the same as on any other ride so I did not expect it to be that intense. They certainly could do a better job of communicating how extreme of a ride it is.I believe the people who died were generally healthy and had no idea they had a heart issue and may never had known throughout a normal life.
It's difficult to describe on a sign exactly what's going to happen to you on this ride. It's the one ride on the planet that scares the bloody hell out of me. Even on green side, I was unprepared for the intense wave of claustrophobia that hit me in that thing.
