New films coming to Epcot's Mission SPACE and China Pavilion

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Sunday July 16, 2017 8:13pm EDT · "Mission: SPACE"

Mission: Space and the China Pavilion at Epcot will see new films as the first part of a major overhaul of Epcot.

A new Green Mission at Mission: SPACE will take guests on a stunning tour around the Earth, and an updated Orange Mission will make the trip to Mars even more spectacular with new display systems.

The new Green Mission is part of a desire to make Epcot "more timeless, relevent, more family, and more Disney."

Mission: SPACE is currently closed for the refurbishment, and is expected to reopen to guests on August 1 2017.

Over at the China Pavilion in World Showcase, a brand new digital seamless display system will overhaul the existing Circlevision 360 with a new film.

An opening date for the new China film has not yet been announced.

Wall-E. That's all.

Nope.

Not even the screens for higher resolution models?

Sorry, I meant ride system / configuration.
Wait a second. Is the M:S restaurant going into the WoL building?

Maybe the sponsor lounge?

Edit: I mean the one in the Space building.

Maybe. I have no idea how big that area is. The official announcement said "The restaurant, which will be located adjacent to the park’s Mission: SPACE attraction" which made me think WoL, and the fact it's rounded too.
↩ replying to Cosmic Commando
The lounge isn't nearly large enough.




If not Wonders of Life they could find a way to tuck it between Mission: Space and the outdoor part of Test Track. Seems cramped though.

They may have to bump out some space somewhere, but I can't see them dedicating the whole WoL pavilion for a restaurant. My (uninformed) opinion is it will still be in the Space pavilion.
Was it just me or did they say it's reopening next month? Does anyone have any idea what date, I need something to take the edge off the loss of UoE!

Agreed 100%. This is definitely interesting though. I hope everything there is freeze dried just like real astronaut food!
I promise if they get the restaurant open for my trip in November, I will order appetizer, entree, and dessert.
So... it's still Mission:Space but it will just look better. And kids (and other Green riders) can stay in low-earth orbit? Does that sum it up? :)

Does that mean Green Team will have a lower height requirement?
