Photos Of Disney's New Space Ride Posted Online

A Web site has posted inside pictures of the closely guarded Walt Disney World spaceflight simulator ride, "Mission: Space," according to Local 6 News.

The photos of the ride, which is still under construction, show the interior of the space capsules.

When the ride eventually opens, visitors will board a four-person simulator where they will be flat on their backs for liftoff. Using hydraulic lifts, the ride will give visitors the feeling of intense G-forces as a spacecraft escapes Earth's atmosphere.

Each of the four seats reportedly has an over-the-shoulder restraint system and individual sound system.

Insiders say that the control panels in front of each rider will move forward and enable the rider to take control.

Disney has a lot riding on the $150 million Mission: Space, as it is only one of two new attractions opening this year at the resort. The other new attraction, Mickey's PhilHarmagic, is a 3-D film and much less ambitious than Mission: Space.

Disney has not announced an official date to open the attraction.

The posted photos can be found on wdwmagic.com.
