The lengthy exterior refurbishment project at EPCOT's Mission SPACE continues to progress at Walt Disney World.

Earth is now back in position as part of the attraction's marquee, joining the refreshed Jupiter and new concrete work.


The Mission SPACE planter signage is also back on display.

Mars remains in poor condition and will likely be the next to be refreshed.

The Mission: SPACE signage is in the planter to the right. I think that one in the center is just where the topiary goes during F&G.

Redoing Mars is taking an eternity but it does look great. Small sign in the planter seems gone again too

Why?

Who knows if it's true, but I remember reading years ago that apparently people watching the gravity wheel continually rotate while they were standing in line actually increased the motion sickness problem on the ride, some sort of visually induced dizziness that the ride then exacerbated.

Mr. Iger, tear down this attraction.

I mean, the Earth spinning was also not something most people realized was missing. Not saying they’ll fix anything else, but you’re arguing that they won’t repair ignorable details in a thread where they just, uh, repaired an ignorable detail.

Nah, not a prominent element in the queue nor relevant to the attraction, why bother? Hey, can I interest you in a Figment popcorn bucket?

Wishful thinking that the gravity wheel inside will start spinning again too?

Good show Disney!! As much as I miss Horizons, I really like Mission Space. A non IP, very "EPCOTy" feeling pavilion.
