Reports Highlight Decline at EPCOT’s Mission: SPACE

Overview

• Three Disney-focused outlets on November 18 documented guest complaints about Mission: SPACE feeling dated, uncomfortable, and below Disney’s usual polish.
• Visitors report visibly worn seat cushions, scratched panels, cramped capsules, and stuffy air inside the attraction’s cabins.
• The centrifuge-based experience and aging visuals are described as harsher and clunkier than newer rides that offer smoother motion and sharper screens.
• Motion-sickness bags remain a notable fixture, reinforcing concerns that the experience can be disorienting or physically taxing for some riders.
• Writers suggest practical updates—new seating, refreshed interiors, upgraded screens, smoother motion, and a modernized storyline—while noting Disney has not announced a closure, retheme, or refurbishment.
