Need Details about Mission Space

[kilee]

Dh & DS really want to try this ride. However, neither handles the "unkown" at all. So if anyone can give me alittle bit of info on how it was I'd like to pass it on. Things like what are the ride vehicles like? How do they get the G-force effect? (DH is afraid it's like a moving simulator similiar to Spiderman at IOA). I don't plan on going on it-- I get really really motion sick (ruin my whole day sick)

I tend to get motion sickness when you get the double spinning thing going. So I was really nervous about riding it. My DS(19) rode it while waiting for us to get to the park. He couldn't tell me much. He kept talking about how they keep enforcing the motion sickness part. You wait in line inside the building 1st looking at some big wheel thing turning. Then they put you on some circle number like they do all the other rides based on the number in your party. Then you see a short movie (i think). Then the doors open to another area and you go stand on your same number again. Then another door opens an the people in your group after seeing a nother short clip explaining what everyone's task is on the launch. You get inside the actual ride. The screen displays come towards you which could make someone with claustifobia(SP?) scared. It didn't bother me. My DS said the best thing to do was to concentrate on your task during the flight. So I did that and messed with the buttons on the display in front of me. (Your button will light on your display when it is time to do your task). No need to worry about that. I have a fear of heights to and when the ride took off you could see what looked like the sky, so I concentrated on the buttons and stuff. I didn't feel that much of a G-force. I was actually disappointed in the ride. I get more of a thrill riding TOT. So since it didn't impress me much I only rode it the 1 time and didn't get sick at all. If you need to know anything else, just let me know and I'll see if I can help.

This is a great ride and they should be afraid. There is a simulated takeoff where most of the g-force is generated that is one of the best special effects that I have seen at WDW. The rest of the ride is bumpy at places but very very well done.

The pre-flight briefing is helpful and gives a good idea of what is going to happen.

I did not get dizzy during the ride. I also get motion sickness on cruises. You need to keep you eyes on the screen and to be careful not to look to sides or close your eyes (you will be told this several times in the pre-flight briefing). I was a little dizzy afterwards and this is not a ride that I would ride more than once or twice in a day.

Enjoy your trip.
