Disney is starting to release information regarding
the new Mission: SPACE pavillion at Epcot. I was
a member of the team that developed the innovative
game Space Race, located in the post-show area of
the building. Here's what has been revealed thus
far about the attraction:
RACING
THROUGH SPACE — Guests become members of
the Mission Control team when they engage in Space
Race, a high-energy interactive
game that explores the teamwork needed
between Mission Control and astronauts in space
missions. Two teams work against
one another to fix problems on their ship and
be the first to arrive at the race destination.
The Mission: SPACE post show, powered by HP, extends
the adventure of Mission: SPACE, a Walt Disney
World attraction set for liftoff at Epcot in 2003.

And from another source:
Two teams compete against
each other in a race to send their rocket from
Mars back to Earth. Nearly 60 people
can play the high-energy game at one time.
Disney have officially announced that the preview
date for Mission: SPACE is August 15 2003, with
a full official opening date to take place in October
2003.
