Show August 1, 2022 In this post we give an overview of Mission: SPACE, a thrill ride at Disney’s EPCOT theme park in Walt Disney World. We cover the basics of the ride, how to ride it, and our thoughts on the experience before closing with an FAQ. Read on to learn more! Mission: SPACE BasicsMission: SPACE is a thrill ride at Disney’s EPCOT in Walt Disney World. Probably the most notable feature of Mission: SPACE is that there are actually two rides here—Green Mission and Orange Mission. The ride vehicle and overall theme (a trip to space) is the same, but the details and experience differ, with the Orange Mission being more intense (I’ll talk more about this later). Mission: SPACE:
Disney warns that persons not in good health and expectant mothers should not ride. You’ll also want to think twice if you’re prone to motion sickness or claustrophobia. Where is Mission: SPACE located?Mission: SPACE is located in the World Discovery land at EPCOT in Disney World. Entering the park from the main entrance, World Discovery is to the left. There are two rides, Mission: SPACE, which is to the left once you’re facing the land, and Test Track, which is to the right facing the land.  How to ride Mission: SPACEIf you have Genie+, Mission: SPACE will probably be something like your third, fourth, or fifth Genie+ pick, with Remy’s, Frozen, Test Track, and Soarin’ all higher priority. Otherwise, the ride is about a middle priority in the park. It can make sense to visit it right after Test Track if it has a short wait, but we usually just ride later in the day. The Green and Orange missions often have different waits, with Green (less intense) usually being lower. Personally we think the Green mission is a fine way to experience the ride, so unless you’re a real thrill junky we don’t advise waiting more than an extra 5-10 minutes for Orange. If you’re visiting Epcot with small children, you’ll need to use rider switch to get on (unless you have Genie+). There is a small playground not far from the ride (near the Creations gift shop). Mission: SPACE Ride ExperienceMission: SPACE Ride VehicleThe Mission: SPACE ride vehicle is a (really) cramped four-person cabin attached to a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins, simulating a liftoff from Earth, and the cabins move a bit beyond that, too. Regardless of whether you choose Orange or Green, you’ll be given a role as part of a four-person team, but mostly you just have to hit buttons and it’s fine it you don’t. Mission: SPACE Orange vs. GreenYou can view a video of the Orange experience here. You can view a video of the Green experience here. There’s two differences between the Orange and Green Missions. First, Orange is a mission to Mars, and Green is a trip around Earth. The Mars mission is, just from a story perspective, a bit more fun, but I sort of like flying over Earth, too. Second, there’s the difference in motion. Disney tells you Orange is “more intense” and Green is “less intense”…what does that mean? I can only offer my take, so here it is. I’m not particularly prone to motion sickness. Mission: SPACE Orange is the only ride that makes me motion sick at Walt Disney World, though several screen rides over at Universal have made me queasy before. I find Mission: SPACE Orange to be quite an intense experience, so much so that I really don’t even enjoy myself on the ride anymore. As for Green, I think “less” intense is definitely correct, but that doesn’t mean the ride is not intense at all. I think Green is all about expectations—most people should be able to handle it, but be prepared for an uncomfortable moment or two. You’ll read some sources that say Green doesn’t spin at all, but I believe this to be incorrect based on experience, and at least one legitimate source claims Green spins once. Mission: SPACE FAQHow Many Gs does mission: SPACE reach?On the Orange Mission, guests experience forces up to 2.5G—2.5 times the force of gravity.

How fast do you spin on Mission: SPACE?As you're seemingly blasting off from Earth, the 10 capsules are spinning at around 35 mph creating approximately 2.5 G's. This is what throws you back in your seat. It's basically the spinning carnival ride that sticks you against the wall.
How does Mission: SPACE green work?Mission: Space Green Team Experience
The Green Team's mission is to orbit the Earth. You'll take off from and land at the International Space Training Center. Your ride capsule is identical to the Orange Team capsule, except it does not spin. This greatly reduces the odds that you'll experience motion sickness.
How does Mission: SPACE simulate gMission Space uses centrifugal forces on the ride "capsule" to simulate the g-forces of a rocket launch. The perception of weigthlessness and movement are achieved by rotating the ride capsule and shifting the gravity vector. "Blast off" is 2.2g for 10 seconds and the fling around the Moon is 2.2g for 4 seconds.
Does Mission: SPACE spin the whole time?Before you begin the Mission: SPACE experience, you'll need to decide whether you want to be on the Green Team or the Orange Team. The Green version of the attraction is a much less intense experience. The vehicle doesn't spin, so you won't feel forces up to 2.4G.
