Mission Space opening Aug 13!

I thought I read they have renamed them to Mission Space Earth and Mission Space Mars, or something like that.

Does anyone know if Gary Sinese is still the narrator, an newer version of his narration would be great...

So, as we want to do both, do we do Earth or Mars with the FP?

Right now, the 3rd FP will be Frozen at 12:30, so I can try for a 4th FP at Mission space, to ride the other version. But, if we can't get it as a 4th FP, which will have the longer stand by line?

 

[AngiTN]

Thanks! Got our FP too

I am excited for the new setup, but now I have to ride Orange at least once. My back is gonna love that! Well, assuming it spins no more than it did before (you only went into a high spin 3 times for about 10 to 15 seconds each, so it wasn't sustained for very long), I should be okay. I wonder if Gary Sinise is still the CAPCOM.

My crystal ball says Earth will have the longer line being the totally new ride that no one has done but I don't think it's going to be a huge difference. Some will do Mars because it's the "thrill" version, even if it's not all new. All in all, if anything is going to have a bump in riders it is bound to be Earth between being new and having a reduction in HR

That seems to be the question of the day. I haven't read anything one way or another about him. I sure hope so.

I dunno. It always seems that Orange is the more popular side. Teenagers LOVE the Orange version.

Actually, that brings up a thought. Hadn't they not too long ago switched 3 of the four bays to Orange, leaving one Green (instead of 2 and 2)? If so, will this new version operate with only one simulator on the Green Program and the others Orange? With the new video, is it easy for them to switch capacity based on demand? Just curious.

Thanks for the heads up everyone. Got my FP for August 13.

Got our 3 FP's. I only had to sacrifice Nemo, living with the land, and the Pixar films. LOL

Orange was easily more popular when Green was just a mild version of Orange. Not sure how it will play out when it's a totally different experience AND shorter kids can ride. I'd have to think that most will want to at least try Earth at least once so that is bound to increase it's popularity for the short term
And yes, they did reallocate the theaters sometime in the past year. No idea how that plays out with these new rides. No talk if that's stayed the same or changed. I'd guess it stayed the same

Ah, yes, you are right. With Green getting a reduced height restriction, I can see Green being more popular than before.

So excited about the news of it opening before our trip. DS was super bummed when I told him that they'd extended the refurb. Got our FP+ for Sept 1 and it only took a little juggling and moving. Now to decide on whether to tell DS before or surprise him

 

[GillianP1301]

So excited that the re-open date is just before my late August trip! FP now booked and looking forward to the new "green" earth version of the ride.

What time is yours? 11:30 for me.

It really worked out nicely that Green is for Earth and Orange is for Mars (though I guess red would have been even better - despite Mars dirt looking orange in the ride).
