Wonder if I dare make a Pop Century ressie for 3rd week of Dec????? It's tempting.

 

[Planogirl]

I'm surprised, VERY surprised.

I am so tempted to make a Pop Century Reservation. If it actually opens I could be one of the first to stay there. The worst that could happen is they move me.

Has anyone gotten the complete scoop on Mission Space yet? Is it still going to be a thrill ride?

This is what I got from wdwmagic.com on Mission Space

READY FOR THE MISSION — Four guests become a team of astronauts working together to fulfill a mission when they step into a capsule and prepare for takeoff at Mission: SPACE. During the thrilling ride, which gives guests the sensation of blasting off into space, everyone in the capsule participates in completing the mission by using joysticks and buttons - all while viewing outer space through their own video screen.

The Post Show


RACING THROUGH SPACE — Guests become members of the Mission Control team when they engage in Space Race, a high-energy interactive game that explores the teamwork needed between Mission Control and astronauts in space missions. Two teams work against one another to fix problems on their ship and be the first to arrive at the race destination. The Mission: SPACE post show, powered by HP, extends the adventure of Mission: SPACE, a Walt Disney World attraction set for liftoff at Epcot in 2003. Copyright 2003, THE WALT DISNEY


Sounds to be along the lines of Starr Tours or Body Wars. This is actually the kind of ride my DH loves...you don't REALLY go anywhere!!

Yahoo! We'll be there for the Mission Space preview, if it stays on the 8/03 schedule....... I'm keeping my fingers crossed......

Local 6 news interviewed the president of WDW tonight. PC is scheduled to open in Dec. and they hope Mission Space will be operating by mid October with sof opening SOMETIME in September. I just hope it's not like Test Trac was.....

Not trying to be a party pooper but I'm not holding my breath

 

[dianeschlicht]

Space has set its Cm's and they start training soon. (just a little side note they had over half of the monorale people go to the open call seems like there is some trouble in that area with new changes in the trains and new managemt rules.)
We have been told that if you like Spiderman you will LOVE Space.

Pop Cent is taking apps and will do open call soon.
