What this ride is like
Mission: SPACE is a spaceflight simulator that places guests inside a centrifuge-style ride system to simulate launch, space travel, and a mission to Mars or orbit around Earth depending on the version selected. Opened in 2003, it replaced Horizons and became one of Disney's most intense simulator attractions. The Orange Mission is the more intense version, while the Green Mission offers a milder experience.
