Mission: SPACE - Walt Disney World's EPCOT
Ride Overview:
Orange Team Version
Experience the thrill of space travel on Mission: SPACE, where guests are launched into space using centrifuge technology similar to that used in NASA astronaut training. This intense simulation gives riders the sensation of high G-forces as they journey through the solar system toward Mars. It’s an unforgettable and exhilarating experience.
Green Team Version
For those who prefer a gentler experience or are prone to motion sickness, the Green Team version offers a less intense ride that does not spin. This version provides a more similar experience to other motion-based attractions like Star Tours.
Height Requirement: 44 inches
Age Review:
Ages 2-4: Even if they meet the height requirement, young kids may find the ride too intense. The Green Team version is a better option for them.
Ages 5-10: If unsure about your child’s reaction to the ride, the less intense Green Team version is a good starting point.
Ages 11-15: Pre-teens and teens generally enjoy the thrill and excitement of this attraction.
Ages 16-Adult: Reactions can vary; some adults enjoy the ride, while others may experience disorientation or nausea. Consider the Green Team version if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Senior Citizens: The ride can be too intense for many seniors, but thrill-seekers might still enjoy the challenge.
