![]() Then again, Test Track leveled up in 2012, so maybe Disney will address Mission: Space with a long overdue renovation. Mission: Space is Exhibit A as to why people view Epcot as consisting of Soarin’ and Test Track and everything else. Unlike, say, Star Tours, there’s no variation to the experience, an unforgivable mistake for an attraction promising such otherworldly majesty as a voyage to Mars. Once you’ve ridden it more than four times, however, the novelty is completely gone. That may even continue a couple of times afterward. The first time you ride, all of these sensations are exhilarating. Okay, the above is a bit unfair, as the intent of Mission: Space is to mirror the experience of planetary physics with regards to inertia, escape velocity, and gravity. If you’re especially lucky, you get to push it twice! Then, you lower a safety harness and wait until it’s your turn to push a button. Basically, you strap into a motion simulator dressed as the console of a spaceship. Mission: Space is oddly paint by numbers for a Disney offering. At heart, people continue to find excitement in the idea of exploring strange new worlds yet there’s something missing from the ride that offers just that. While I won’t regurgitate all the issues with the early struggles of the ride, the truth is that Disney badly misjudged the goal for a stylized space travel simulation. That’s amazing considering that it was only added in 2003. Perhaps no attraction at Walt Disney World is in more desperate need of an update than Mission: Space. Here is a list of the five worst attractions at World Disney World.Įditor's Note: David's opinions in no way reflect those of Theme Park Tourist or its staff. Even the Most Magical Place on Earth has a few clunkers. ![]() Still, the maxim that nobody’s perfect applies here. Obviously, none of this would happen without Disney’s storied Imagineers, arguably the finest theme park attraction designers in the world. Between Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, 51.5 million visitors walked through the turnstiles at Walt Disney World. Last year alone, the four Disney parks in Orlando, Florida, finished among the top eight theme parks in the world in terms of attendance. Walt Disney World is the de facto capital of the amusement park industry.
