The walls surround most of the Planetary Plaza entrance area, which will likely receive new paints on the planets.

Let me be clear, Mission Space IS NO HORIZONS! HORIZONS WAS GREAT! And I wish they ADDED Mission space and kept Horizons. Yes, it is a problem that a slow moving omnimover ride like Horizons was replaced by a intense thrill ride in Mission Space. At least they added the less intense trip around the Moon as a ride anyone can experience.

Lots of fancy words about a multi-million-dollar spin-and-puke...

I think this is one of those attractions which will be eternally weighed down by its history and the gravity of what it replaced. Much like Figment, Runaway Railway, and Stitch these discussions on the merit of the attraction must be predicated by what was lost to make it happen, and buy and large many agree the loss of Horizons makes this a net negative. And this comes from someone who never properly experienced Horizons.

Last to leave due to their high elevation, the family from Denver. ;)

When it worked, it was more of a controlled rotation :p

Flat objects don't spin.

You think a picture can reveal if a non-descript orb is spinning? ;)

Does anyone know if Earth is finally spinning again? Based on the pictures it doesn’t seem like it…

It's a nice refresh but it looks dated.
