LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., May 2, 2006 - By the beginning of summer, Epcot
Guests will have two options when it comes to riding Mission: Space -
the original thrill attraction and a new version for those who prefer a
milder ride experience.

The new version, which is created by turning off the spinning
centrifuge, may be more suited for some Guests, such as those who are
prone to motion sickness or have other conditions. Both versions will
offer an exciting astronaut training experience through a dramatic story
that invites Guests to explore a new world.

"By offering a second adventure, we hope to broaden the appeal of
Mission: Space and enable even more Guests to experience the
attraction," said Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort.

Signs posted in the queue area of Mission: Space will outline the
difference between the two adventures and provide health advisories
appropriate for each experience.

"Providing a choice between two ride options will help to further
encourage all Guests to carefully consider posted health advisories when
making their decision," added Weiss.

Mission: Space opened in August 2003. Since that time, 11.8 million
rides have been given on the attraction, which simulates the launch,
approach and landing of a futuristic spacecraft on Mars. The attraction
is made up of four separate ride systems, each with its own centrifuge
and programmable simulators.
