Disney not happy with Mission Space

[All Aboard]

More storytime... A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I boarded with another man and his daughter. Prior to launch, my daughter (age 6) joked around about barfing, pulling out the barf bag, showing it to the other family, etc. Just goofing around. The man didn't seem particularly humored by it and had a worried look on his face.

Sure enough, the ride ends and he's toting a full bag off the attraction. Thank goodness Disney installed those bags.

I can't project the long-term impact theride will have on attendance but I can give you a focus group of three male adults: 46, 42, 38.

We were incredibly impressed with the technology and the sensations it creates. None of us wanted to ride again.

At the end of the day it's not a ride you get off and want to jump right back on like Tower of Terror. The evening we were in the park the line for Test Track was longer than Mission Space which we walked right on.

When I think about going to any of the parks I usually think about a signature ride – TOT or Tough to Be a Bug or the Haunted Mansion. After all these years Illuminations is the true draw for Epcot in my mind. I think Test Track does not live up to the hype (especially since it to three years to build) and Mission Space is a one-time experience.

That side of Epcot continues to struggle if you ask me.

My son, my daughter and I love MS and go on it several times each visit. But my wife went on it once and came out a quite unusual shade of chartreuse.

She sat down on a bench and then my daughter, who was 7 at the time, started asking, "Are you sick? Mommy, are you nauseous? Are you going to barf? Hey, guys, do you think Mommy's nauseous? Is she going to puke? Mommy, are you going to puke? Does Mommy want to barf?"

I think at that moment my wife understood why some fish eat their young.

Too funny
