Posted: Monday June 5, 2023 10:22am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction walls are up at EPCOT's Mission SPACE for work to begin on an exterior refurbishment.


 

The walls surround most of the Planetary Plaza entrance area, which will likely receive new paints on the planets.

Mission SPACE is operating as normal during the refurbishment.

It's far too big for its own good. I mean, just look at it. Taking over the whole entrance area like it owns the place.

Why do you hate Mars so much?!

I would like it to stay and would prefer other attractions to go, but let's not start yet another "I hate Mssion Space because I have a weak stomach therefore no one should ever ride it ever again" debate, as this thread is about exterior refurbishment and I like seeing the updates to make it look spick and span.

It looks nice, but I can't help thinking it's lipstick on a pig. I know we're all about "add, don't replace" but I wouldn't shed any tears to see this become something new.

Wish they'd change that sign.

I remember Disney saying how expensive this paint was, like $800 a quart or something.

Let me be clear, Mission Space IS NO HORIZONS! HORIZONS WAS GREAT! And I wish they ADDED Mission space and kept Horizons. Yes, it is a problem that a slow moving omnimover ride like Horizons was replaced by a intense thrill ride in Mission Space. At least they added the less intense trip around the Moon as a ride anyone can experience.

Lots of fancy words about a multi-million-dollar spin-and-puke...
