Walt Disney World Resort is no stranger to divisive attractions. With four different theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT), there are bound to be infamous attractions.

Mission: SPACE is a unique thrill ride simulating a mission to Mars using centrifuge technology to simulate the G-forces required for launches to space.
Nowadays, there are two missions: the Orange Mission, which utilizes centrifuge technology, and the Green Mission, which does not use any centrifuge.
However, that hasn’t stopped the attraction from garnering a reputation for making Guests sick to their stomachs.

Despite this reputation, Mission: SPACE is still a beloved addition to EPCOT, and its place in World Discovery is well-earned. Not only does this ride simulate two very exciting missions, but it also brings Guests into the action.
This thrill ride was ahead of its time due to how immersive it is, as each Guest takes on a different role while riding. Depending on the role, Guests have different buttons to press, as well as a steering rod to control.
