Disney Imagineers, known for their creativity and attention to detail, worked closely with NASA experts to ensure the attraction&#8217;s authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>NASA played a crucial role in the attraction&#8217;s development by offering valuable insights, technical expertise, and guidance on the portrayal of space travel. This collaboration allowed Mission: SPACE to incorporate real-life space science and engineering principles into its design, making it as close to a genuine space mission experience as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, NASA actually said that the attraction in Walt Disney World is the most authentic replication of take off and landing of any simulator!\u00a0 But how authentic is too authentic?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mission_Space_Green_and_Mission_Space_Orange\"><\/span>Mission Space: Green and Mission Space: Orange<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Warnings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Warnings.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Warnings-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Warnings-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Warnings-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recognizing that not all visitors are seeking the same level of intensity, Mission: SPACE offers two distinct experiences: Mission Space: Green and Mission Space: Orange.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mission_Space_Orange\"><\/span>Mission Space: Orange<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For those seeking the ultimate thrill and a more intense experience, Mission Space: Orange is the way to go. This high-intensity version simulates a space launch and mission to Mars with authentic G-forces, intense motion, and thrilling spins. Passengers are assigned specific roles on the spacecraft, creating a sense of responsibility and teamwork. This was the original form of the attraction. This was also the first Disney attraction to require barf bags\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mission_Space_Green\"><\/span>Mission Space: Green<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mission Space: Green is designed for guests who prefer a less intense experience. Imagineers created this less intense version for those that might be more sensitive. This version includes the liftoff, an orbiting tour of the Earth, and a descent back to landing that involves riders having to manually navigate through a thunderstorm over the landing runway using their joystick. It&#8217;s a fantastic option for those who want to experience space travel without the more intense physical sensations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Orange-or-Green.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Orange-or-Green.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Orange-or-Green-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Orange-or-Green-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Orange-or-Green-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No matter which version you choose, Mission: SPACE offers a unique and unforgettable adventure that brings the wonders of space exploration to life, making it a must-visit attraction at Epcot for space enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ride\"><\/span>The Ride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Enter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Enter.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Enter-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Enter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Enter-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mission: SPACE is renowned for its innovative ride vehicles, which are designed to provide an authentic space mission experience.

Horizons took guests past show scenes depicting positive visions of the future. Similar to the Magic Kingdom&#8217;s Carousel of Progress, Horizons used audio-animatronics to depict an extended family living in the future in the city, a reclaimed dessert, under the ocean, and in space. Horizons was one of Disney&#8217;s first to use smells during the ride, the small of orange blossoms was used in the former dessert orange grove scene.<\/p>\n<p>Horizons then allowed riders to select which path they wanted to take back from the Future: from space, from the dessert, or from the sea. Near the end of the ride, guests would push a button to select one of the three choices and the choice with the most votes would be presented in a 31-second video sequence.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tributes_to_Horizons\"><\/span><span id=\"Tributes_to_Horizons\" class=\"mw-headline\">Tributes to Horizons<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Mission-COntrol.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Mission-COntrol.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Mission-COntrol-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Mission-COntrol-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/EPCOTs-Mission-SPACE-Mission-COntrol-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keeping in line with a Disney tradition of paying tribute to defunct attractions in new attractions, Mission: Space features several subtle tributes to Horizons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Horizons logo is on display at the center of the rotating &#8220;gravity wheel&#8221; in the queue.<\/li>\n<li>During the pre-show, the Horizons logo can be found on the bottom right-hand corner of some of the screens in the video, along with the text &#8220;Brava Centauri&#8221;, the space-themed location featured in Horizons.<\/li>\n<li>The Brava Centauri station can be seen orbiting Earth in a new mural at the entrance of the attraction.<\/li>\n<li>The Horizons logo can also be seen during the safety briefing outside the capsule<\/li>\n<li>The Horizons logo can also be found on the front of the cash register counter in the gift shop on the way out of the attraction.<\/li>\n<li>The planter at the front of the building formerly contained the Horizons marquee.
