Some questions about mission space

[Disneysea_fan]

I haven't been on the ride yet because when we went we ran out of time.
What kind of ride is it? A rollercoaster or simulater? Does it invert and can you control it? What is your overall thought of the attraction?

On Mission Space you sit in a little 4-person pod that simulates the motion of your spaceflight. Your pod is connected with 4-5 other pods on a centrifuge that spins in circles so you also feel fairly the intense G-forces that astronauts feel during blast-off & landing. The combination of the two make for a really fun experience.

If you'd rather not have the G-forces, there is an alternative version called 'Team Green' that offers the exact same ride experience just without the spinning/G-forces.

But you're not just sitting, watching & feeling the experience along for the ride, no. Your group of 4 are the crew of the ship & you must work together as a team. During the flight, each member of the team has 2 functions to perform, each of which are completed by pressing buttons. Your Capcom, Gary Sinise, will let you know when it's time to press your buttons.

It's a state of the art ride experience that gives riders an individual Star Tours-esque simulator experience, combines it with G-forces, and adds a great teamwork-interactive element. Definitely not to be missed!

Here's a photo of the little 4-person pod that I took, except only 2 of the positions are visible...

This is truely EPCOT's scariest ride and probably the most thrilling ride Disney has ever constructed. The forces on the beginning launch are probably even more intense than on any roller coaster that I have been on so that definitly says something. A not to be missed attraction and it is probably worth a wait under 90 minutes, if it is over, FASTPASS it. Green usually doesn't have that long of a line so if you just want to say you did it and move on, that is probably going to be 30 or less.

It is an amazing ride and something not to be missed.

My favorite ride at Epcot. I recommend the Orange Team, much more thrilling than the Green Team. Just make sure you follow the rules: look straight ahead (not side to side) and don't close your eyes. If you break the rules, you might lose your lunch! If you follow the rules, you'll have a great time!

If you lean forward while leaving Earth's atmoshpere you can literally feel the blood leaving your head.

this ride was one of my favorites when I was there at Epcot, but to me Blast off wasn't that intense, the descent into the atmosphere of Mars was the most intense part same with the sling shot around the moon. over all it is defenetly not to be missed.
