Can you wear contact lenses on this ride without losing them?

I don't see how you could lose them. If you have sensitive eyes the air conditioning blasting in your face may be a bit uncomfortable through.

My brothers wore contact lenses and I wore glassses and we had no problems whatsoever.

As for comments about kids riding SPACE: I would tend to think that they would be better suited for this thing anyway. There's no drops to scare them. Nothing's jumping out at them. There's just some pressure felt against your face/body. Adults are going to have a much more difficult time on this one than the kids.

So is 4PM the best time to try to get in? i've seen that in a number of places.

Any other tips on how I can give myself the best shot to get on would be appreciated.

I'm glad to hear that someone who gets queazy on Body Wars doesn't on this ride.

Also, the other big question is: is there a MAX height limitation? I've heard 6'6"? I am 6'9" .....

Thanks for any help!!!

Although I'd love to do this ride- it does sound great - I'm going to have to give it a miss. As a travel sickness sufferer it's not worth the risk of spoiling the rest of the day when there is so much more to enjoy. DS (13) can't understand this as he can ride anything (so far) without a problem. Incidentally I spoke with a friend, a CM, last night who rode MS twice together and said that a third run would not have been advisable!! He also said without prompting though that he found it less intense and nauseous than Body Wars.

My friend and I were doing all 4 parks today and we specifically went to Epcot to see if we could get on it. They let us in at 4:25 and we got on within like 20 minutes. I thought it was AWESOME. DEFINITELY like nothing I have ever experienced. It did take us about 30 minutes to "walk it off" though cuz it was a little intense. (and there isn't a ride in WDW that I don't ride because of sickness) We rode imagination, then we were mostly fine. I definitely could not ride it more than once in a row. Hopefully I'll get back there soon and ride it again. Once I get used to it, I'll probably be able to ride it a lot more.

they will tone this ride WAY down, by opening day.

We were fortunate enough to do a sneak peak ride on June 13th and we just booked our airline, hotel and car reservations today ........... we're coming back for AP Preview Days !!!!!!!! Then back in September and again in October Happy, happy, joy, joy. Stephen and I love this ride and it WILL be the first place we head for every visit to WDW from now on.

Sample Itinerary:

Plane lands, grab bags, pick up car, head to Epcot, park, race to Mission: Space, grab Single Rider passes over and over and over

Wow, it sounds great, I will be there for the AP preview on August 3, what is the height requirement???
My girls will be really disapointed if they can't ride.

 

[wdwguide]

The Height Requirement is 44 inches.

What are Single Rider passes? If you're referring to FastPasses, I would suspect they would be gone by early afternoon (Test Track FPS are typically gone by around 1:00 p.m. on busy days). Plus, you can't keep grabbing them, you have to wait until you've reached your return time or two hours, whichever comes first.

Test Track uses Single Rider Passes - not sure if Mission: SPACE will do the same. There is a single rider line which parallels the FastPass line though.

By the way, your description of how the FastPass system works is no longer accurate - you can now get your next FastPass whenever your current FastPass says you can, which in most cases is much less than the return time/two hours.

There is definitely some form of Single Rider scheme for Mission: SPACE. There is a specific line for single riders. I'm sure that they will probably work this the same as the Single Rider line for Test Track.

As for a max height requirement: Nothing was posted and no one in our family is over six feet. Sorry I can't help.
