Mission Space

[Margaret]

Hi, we having started talking about which rides we all want to go on when we go to Orlando (next) August. I'm a real wimp when it comes to "rides", my children are trying to convince me to go in the orange team on Mission Space. I've been on the green team before and quite enjoyed it, I'm really not sure if I'm up for it. What do other people think about this?

If you are susceptible to motion sickness then be careful. My wife felt ill for a couple of hours after I told her it was mild and she'd be okay. I felt guilty afterwards, well at least for a bit and I'm not sure if she has forgiven me yet.

I loved it and have been on since with my daughter but needless to say my wife will not go on it again.

UMMM, Ditto...
Convinced Sue that it was a great ride (Well I think so !!)...
She had blurred vision for about 1/2 an hour & needed strong frozen cappuchino to recover :p
Still hasn't forgiven me tho.....

Jayne (the wife) went on it once and got a bit motion sick (she does get a bit seasick sometimes when on a boat). My son and I love it and always pay a visit when at Epcot. I thought it was a better experience than the Kennedy Space Centre one. It's a fantastic feeling when you take off.

I love Mission Space!

Yes, you do feel the G-Force at the launch, but otherwise it's not too bad. When I rode it a number of times consecutively, my legs were a little wobbly as I walked away, but nothing that lasted more than half a minute or so.

I can't hande roller coasters at all, heights make me swoon dangerously. But Mission Space is a pussycat and I enjoy it. Curiously my son, who can handle the most terrifying of roller coasters, can't do Mission Space at all, it makes him ill.

They have calmed it down somewhat to when it was first opened. It is not a rough ride but the gforce was quite severe and many were complaining of headaches. They calmed it down and also offer a cabin that is tame. The ride is based on nasa gforce simulators, the ones you see training astronauts passing out on. Obvioulsy a much tamer version and because you are enclosed, uou feel yhe gforce and not the rotation. Clever ride, my 78 year old mother in kaw did it. Aftwerwards she fish and chips and I hurled. I do that on any that spins, even dumbo :o

I went on the green one a few years back and wasn't too bad and then my boys talked me into going on the orange one and it ruined my whole day, I felt so ill.

Saying that, I'm going back about 5 years so if they've calmed it down it may be better now (but personally, I wouldn't go on it again)

This was the first and only ride I've ever seen that offered vomit bags. I rode it when it first opened and was fine. My wife and older son, however, were shaky for a bit. The number of people sitting on the benches just outside with their heads in the hands was quite unsettling.

Thanks for all your replies. I don't think I'll brave it, I'll just go on the tame one. I can remember how sick I felt after going on the HP ride lol

Mission Space was fine at the time but I felt so ill afterwards I had to go back to the villa for a sleep

The HP ride made me woozy, yet I love big roller coasters and do not have an issue with them. I find most simulator rides can make me woozy, apparantely some folks are sensitve to the movie not being 100% in synch. Never made me really ill, just a little woozy.
If you fancy having a go on coaster, try Thunder Mountain. It is a great ride and the theming is impressive. No loops or 360's. Top speed is just 28mph. I have took quite a few coaster whimps on that who were pretty much terrified in the queue. They all rode it again :)
