Which is more tame: Star Tours or Mission Space Green?

Just as the title asks...

ST makes me a little sick but it's tolerable. MS G does not.

I don't get motion sick at all but I would say Mission Space: Green ticket is more tame. There is some jerking back and forth in Star Tours (but not a lot).

Mission space can be horrible if you have any issue with claustrophobia.
Otherwise, I suppose Star Tours moves more.

FWIW, Mission Space is the only ride with a visible barf bag

Oh yes, I rode MS the first year it opened and just the sight of seeing that barf bag in front of me made me want to bolt out the door. I stayed though...never has a ride made me feel so ill. My head didn't feel right for the rest of the day.

My husband rode it a couple years ago and he didn't think it was that bad. Maybe they toned it down..

Anyways, DD wants to try it, but I'm only willing to let her go on the tame green side..if indeed it is actually tame.

The green side is simply a motion simulator. It tilts you down a bit and has some extra small physical effects. Everything else is done with your eyes as you watch the screen, so if it bothers you, close 'em. (don't do this on the spinny side though!!!)

I love the easy side of MS. Makes me sleepy when they tilt you down, like it's the only time I've ever fully relaxed in my life. Love it.


I would say MS green (or "easy" as I call it, since I never remember which one is spinny vs not) is easier, because you don't have to wear 3D glasses.

In this case green means go!

 

[minnie mum]

Have to agree with the others. Although I love the new Star Tours to bits, I get awfully motion sick from it. MS green OTOH is very tame as motion simulators go. But if you suffer from claustrophobia it is NOT the ride for you.

 

[Scrappy_Tink]

Okay, you guys talked me into MS Green!! I've been avoiding it, because I was afraid it would make me sick, although I never suffer from motion sickness or anything (and I love the Star Wars ride!) I guess when all the hoop-la of the ride came out, it scared me. Yay, a new ride to try!!!

Could someone explain why everyone is saying stay off Mission Space if you have claustrophobia? I guess, can someone explain the details of the ride.

You sit in a small 4 person capsule. They close the doors on both sides and the instrument panel moves in close to you.

It has never bothered me, but I can see how a person that does not like confined spaces could be uncomfortable.

If you are interested, there are many YouTube videos that show the ride.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!! : I think we'll give it a try.

The space that you sit in is very small. It's a row of four seats in a completely enclosed capsule and you have a restraining harness.

There are pictures/video on youtube that will show what the space looks like if you want to see exactly before making a decision about riding.

Oops! Didn't see your response before I responded too.

Great minds think alike!

Can someone explain to me the difference between MS Green and MS Orange?


We rode the green side twice on our last trip, and I thought it was extremely tame. I was thinking about being a little daring and trying the orange side this time but, I would feel better if I knew what I was getting myself into.. lol

I think the orange side spins. I rode it not long after it opened and it ruined my entire day. I was queasy and had a headache until I slept it off that night. Ugh. I should have known better, because I don't do well on spinning rides (teacups, blech) but I thought since I couldn't SEE the spinning that it might be okay. It wasn't. I had even taken two motion sickness pills that morning (bonine) and it didn't make any difference.

I can ride the green side with no problem at all. Star Tours makes me a little worried, but I've never actually gotten sick from it as long as I take the bonine. The teacups still make me somewhat queasy if DD spins the cup, and of course she always does. (She didn't even know it COULD spin until she was about 5 or 6 years old. I'd always held onto that wheel in the center with a death grip to keep it from spinning, lol. She thought we always got broken cups. She was angry with me when she found out I'd been tricking her for years. Now she's old enough to ride alone, so no more teacups for me...yay!)

Ok.. so Orange side spins... that settles it.. I am not going to be daring this trip! lol

Thanks for the info. I will stick with the nice easy Green side and thank my lucky stars I asked about the orange instead of just trying it... close call. lol

My DH gets motion sickness and he can do MS more easily than Star Tours. And we never do the tame side of MS (except one time when the tame side was the only one open for some reason...probably closed for cleaning if you get my drift!)

I'm glad you decided to ride MS, OP. I think you'll like it. It's sort of funny how often they warn you that if you get motion sickness, maybe you should re-think it. But you should be good to go!

Ignore my writing i think I misread the post in my sleepiness.

Mission space green is a nice ride, star tours isnt intense by any means but it for some reason makes my body feel anxious. I dont feel scared but i get very hot and flushed feeling and a little queezy. Its a weird feeling as I havent had it happen anywhere else ever and I dont really like it
