Mission Space: Disappointed

[nrose101]

Just came back from the Annual Passholder preview of Mission: Space and I am very disappionted. They have been saying all along you will feel 0 gravity, All I felt was like I was in a gravitron ride at a county fair. The ride was way to short, and extremetly boring. The talking portion in the from the two videos was longer than the ride was. I for one was very hyped about this ride and couldn't wait for it to open. Personally I can now take it or leave it.

Sorry you didn't like it. Give it another try on a future visit! I myself needed quite a few rides on attractions like WDW's Space Mountain or Test Track to start enjoying them for what they are, rather than being disappointed that they weren't quite what I expected.

The zero-g sequence, as far as I can tell, is really just the effect of the g-forces that pushed you into your seat abating and the seats tilting forward. You are probably at or very close to 1-g at that point.

As for the length, I would love it to be long er as well, but then more people might get sick on it, and the whole spin-up, spin-down thing would start getting rather repetitive. While it is a highly advanced simulator, it is quite limited in the sensations that it can produce. At least it's more than twice as long as the Rock n' Roller Coaster

Sorry you were dissappointed! Sometimes our expectations of something are so great, that the real thing never lives up to it!

I guess I was to excited about it. I just thought it was really boring and their hype was to much for something that really isn't anything. I think space mountain offer more thrills than Mission: Space

I did MS last Tues & really liked it. Did not get sick or dizzy.
All the warnings before the ride makes you think it will really do a number on you.
Not so.

Just good clean Disney type fun. Whole family from teens to 52 yo parents, all had a great time.

Yes it is definetly a very tame ride.

So, this thing is like the Gravitron?

 

[nrose101]

I thought it was. I felt the same sensation. The only difference is instead of looking at a big circle you have a fancy panel infront of you and a lcd screen.

Knowing this makes me somehow less frightened. I think I'll try it.
