i'm at dca so they let me go on my break(which turned my break into an hr long ^_^) it's worth going to even if you only think of the short wait time

OMG, I LOVED it. I wouldn't wait in a 2-3 hour line for it, but if you get a chance to go when there isn't a line, or when it's a really short line, do it. It's worth it. I was really impressed by it, I think they did an excellent job in designing it.
Of course, I could be a bit biased... I mean, I DID get paid for riding it for almost half my shift today

First the opening crew, including the managers, decide we're gonna open a few minutes late and all go ride it. Then throughout the day since it was so slow, we all took turns going over to ride it again, then after I got off I went a few more times. It's a fun ride, really short, but fun... of course if you would have asked me what I thought before the third time I went on it I wouldn't have said that... the first few rides I was forced on, almost had to be litterally dragged onto the ride. I HATE elevator drop rides... but this one is way cool.

Went on it today. Awesome. Theming was great. Unfortunately I haven't been to the one in Florida so I can't compare. It was a little short, so I don't think I'd wait in a 2 hour line to go on it.
Going again tomorrow using my actual preview tickets with a friend.

Anyone here been on the one in Florida? I never went on the ride while I was there, so can't compare the two... I was talking to some other CM's on the ride yesterday that had been on both, and they all said that ours was better.

I work the one in Florida, the new one is like our old Tower 2. I personally found it not as exciting as our new Tower 4 sequence. Tower 4 has 4 randomized drop sequences, so you never know what drops are going to happen until you're doing the drops.

Ooooh... neat! Randomized drops sound awsome. Makes it much more exciting.

The randomized drops make it more fun to ride. It was getting kind of old after a bit, and now it's a bit more fun :)
I just saw the "preview" for it on the Disney Channel. Their "preview" of Mission:Space is pretty right, so based off that, the boiler room looks awesome compared to ours! :)

Nope, the floor doesn't drop out from under you... BUT it is a lot more fun when you lift your feet up off the floor. :)
Took my mom, my 14 year old sis, and my 9 year old bro today... they all loved it, ESPECIALLY bro. Ya, I think I've just about had my share of it... that's basically all we did alllllllllll day... I was keeping count of how much we went on, but after ride #15 today I was too tired to count anymore. It made the kids happy tho, so why not.
