You are in for a real treat as we discuss Flight to the Moon & Mission to Mars. How takes us through the entire history and also lets us know he absolutely hated this ride... Looking back, we hear about the unique things that are actually happening throughout both rides.\nThe origins of the show in Disneyland are discussed, which was titled Rocket to the Moon. TWA originally sponsored this, opening in 1955. The whole moon thing kind of lost excitement in Flight to the Moon, but before that, it did come to The Magic Kingdom. Mission to Mars came next, in 1975 and ran until 1981. We go into the various sponsorships of this attraction, all the way up to 1993. The first hand ride experiences given during this episode are absolutely amazing.\nThe Film\nWe will be releasing the Mission To Mars original film next week, so please check back for this amazing piece of history.\nRetroWDW Merchandise\nHow is working hard to create an amazing Mission To Mars inspired piece of merchandise, so please check our store for this unique creation.
