Is Green Mission Space Scary?

Published in Theme Park Ride Comfort 2 mins read

No, Green Mission Space is not considered scary; in fact, it is often described as a rather tame and even boring experience, particularly for those who might find the Orange side of the attraction too intense.

Understanding the Green Mission Space Experience

The Green Team, or "Earth" mission, within the Mission: SPACE attraction at EPCOT, offers a significantly milder experience compared to its "Mars" counterpart (the Orange Team). Here's what makes it less intimidating:

  • No Spinning or G-Forces: Unlike the Orange Team, the Green Team capsule does not spin. This means there are no G-forces pushing you back into your seat, and you won't experience any sensations of weightlessness.
  • Minimal Motion: The movement is primarily limited to tilting and vibrating to simulate a spaceship launch and journey. It's more akin to watching a movie in a confined space with some gentle motion effects.
  • Focus on Scenic Views: The Green Mission focuses on a gentle orbit around Earth, providing scenic views and a more serene, less intense simulation.
  • Designed for Comfort: This version was specifically designed to be accessible and comfortable for a broader audience, including those prone to motion sickness or anxiety related to intense rides. Many find it relaxing rather than thrilling.

In essence, if you're concerned about high-intensity thrills, spinning, or disorienting sensations, the Green Mission Space offers a smooth, almost educational journey through space without any of the "scary" elements.
