Walt Disney World is starting its marketing push for Mission: Space, the new ride opening at Epcot in 2003.
To start the effort, Disney Interactive debuted several attractions at its exhibit in Epcot's Innoventions today, called the Mission: Space Launch Center.
The Mission: SPACE Launch Center features several elements that touch on the excitement and challenges of training for space travel, including an interactive timeline, a Hubble space telescope display, a multi-player maze game that lets guests guide a hovercraft around a planet, the Hab Lab, which recreates a gravity-free environment, and a model of the X-2 experimental rocket. Disney.com will produce an original Web site with multi-player activities to accompany the Mission: SPACE Launch Center, which is scheduled to be live later this year.
