Ride
Mission Space
at Walt Disney World's Epcot Theme Park
Mission: SPACE

Prepared to go where few men
have gone before? Mission space
embarks you on a mission that has taken others years and years of training to
experience! Very few men and women
around the world have had the ability to enter space, and, unfortunately, some
have even died trying. Now with the
help of modern technology and Epcot’s adventurous side you get to delight in
this amazing encounter that’s out of this world!
Opened in 2003 this ride is
brand new and incredibly innovative. Mission:
SPACE is one of the prime attractions of Disney’s Epcot theme park.
Sit and achieve zero-gravity as you control your ship into a new world.
Work with your team (family and friends) to make a clean take off and
landing, host a successful mission.
Can you handle the 600 mile per hour take off as you embark on the first mission
to Mars ever attempted? Feel the
jolts of entering the atmosphere and experience what astronaut’s feel on
takeoff.
Before
entering the shuttle you are assigned a position as Commander, Pilot, Navigator
or Engineer. Each position is unique
and essential to the success of the mission.
Whether your charting maps, steering or fixing your teams mistakes you
will have to work together to accomplish the tasks asked of you.
Enter a hyper sleep and awake
on the planet of mars, where you will attempt a landing.
Flying the X-2 Deep you are
expected to complete a successful mission.
The entire crew must work together as you approach the landing zone, but
be careful; the ground looks unstable and soon collapses!
Think quickly and save the ship from certain disaster; you might just
have to ride this a few times and find the perfect crew!
Attempt to save the X-2 Deep at the last moment and enter the space base,
hopefully safe and sound.
Epcot has used the latest in
technology to bring you a down to earth space experience.
Using technology from NASA’s training program Mission: SPACE gives you
the actual feeling of space travel.
With bumps and bounces, shaking and even zero-gravity you will find this ride to
be like no other simulator you have been on.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to reach for the sky!
