Mission: Space's Space Race at Epcot

Just when you think you have spent many many years to see everything there is to see at Disney, you come across something you've never seen before. That is what happened to us at our latest visit to Epcot.

I have had no interest in Epcot's Mission: Space ride. Riders are placed into a small ride vehicle and shaken violently to simulate blasting into space. Uhm, no thanks.

My youngest son heard about this ride and became very excited. He really wanted to ride it, so, we let him. While he road it, the rest of us went to Mission Control to wait. Mission Control has an indoor playground and three different video games. We fell in love with one of the video games: Space Race.

Space Race has two space craft racing to a space station. The mission control operators have to upload space ship repairs to the space craft. And four astronauts have to apply those fixes. We played this game for hours, then returned another day to play some more.
