We love it and ride it multiple times each trip. We were there and rode it on the 'official' opening day. As to what kind of a ride it is...how to describe it...let's see.
There are multiple 'pods' that fit 4 people in each 'pod'. You get in, put the shoulder harness down, the control panel moves right up to you. It is somewhat claustrophobic!!! Then, the lift off..you tip backwards, the rockets explode and you really do feel like you're lifting off on the space shuttle!!! then you have different 'functions' to perform, depending on where you are sitting. It is an intense experience. Think the 'Scrambler' to the nth degree. You do feel weightlessness. Some get sick or have headaches from it. My dh had a slight headache the first time and hasn't done it again. The only time I ever felt at all queasy was when I rode it after eating a pretty good size meal. That was a mistake!!! Don't do that...wait a few hours before riding. Trust me.
