Any Suggestions On Mission Space

Thank goodness they did blow the air in your face. That really helped me breathe.

We rode it for the first time last week and I was definitely feeling a little ill when we got off. In fact I stumbled out of the capsule. I also have been sick after Star Tours and Body Wars but really wanted to give M: S a try.
I layed on the grass outside M: S for about 15 minutes to let my stomach settle.

Also if you are at all Claustrophobic I would not go on this ride. I usually have no problem in small spaces but this was tight and very confining.

Just my 2cents

There must be a lot of people who get sick on it, as they now are handing out barf bags! We however (me and 3 kids) had no problems with it. DH chose not to risk it this trip, as Astro Orbitors turned him green for hours! He has said he will try it in January.....

The first time we rode it I was a bundle of nerves. There has been so much hype over how it can be aweful for some people.

My personal strategy......
first off, keep your head back, and eyes open as recommended. That is a MUST. However, if you begin to feel dizzy or disoriented, I would suggest focusing your eyes downward at your joystick rather than out your "windshield" screen. Don't move your head, just shift your focus to something that doesn't appear to be moving. You'll still feel the G-forces, but it lessened the dizzy factor for me.

Second time I rode it, it was phenomenal! I watched the whole thing - including lift-off and the "sling shot" around the moon that I couldn't watch the first time. Definitely it's not for everyone, but I thought that Body Wars was MUCH higher on the "illness scale" than M:S!

For me it's quite simple....I just won't do it! I know how my body reacts to certain situations and MS is OUT OF THE QUESTION! I am claustrophobic AND motion sickness will hit me like you wouldn't believe!

I got a little queazy from the spinning of the teacups and Body Wars just did me in. Good thing DH got me a sprite to settle the stomach as quick as he did. Even Back to the Future in Universal had me off-centered. So it's a no on Mission Space! I remember having to sit for a bit after Body Wars and almost letting it ruin my trip, won't do that with this one.

For those of you who can do it...YOU JUST GO!!
