Mission Space mishaps

[Papa Smurf]

I heard a CM say the other day that they had toned Mission Space down from when they first tested it on CM's.

Nope its the same ride profile that has been programmed since the beginning. The only changes have been in the pre-flight and ready room videos, and the addition of more signage and audio warnings in the queue.

With these modifications, it allowed the cast to not have to do a long speil to each group prior to boarding. If anyone rode June / July before the official open you will remember the long winded spiel that the had both in the hallway and before closing the capsule. Now its a quick restraint check and the canned audio plays as the capsule closes.

Also the exit hallways have been carpeted since day one, the tile was only in the actual exit to the rooms, once you hit the hallway its carpet again.

I met an entertaining boy (about 9 or 10) when I was at WDW on the monorail. We talked about our favorite rides and he said he liked Mission Space, but was disapointed that he didn't throw up. He said he moved his head back and forth, looked all over and leaned forward and nothing.
Heh. He made me laugh.
I personally did not vomit, but I was a little woozy getting off the ride.
I think if I hadn't followed the directions, I would have yacked everywhere. It was fun though. I'm looking forward to my next trip. This time I won't be so petrified that I'm going to feel awful that maybe I can enjoy the ride.

I personally dont see what differerence it makes. If you lean your head forward and look to the left or right you can tell what direction it is spinning, but I was wondering, how far back (in degrees, if you can, or just estimate) do the seats acxtually tilt at the beginning? Because of the screen, it feels like you are completely reclining, but if you sit forward a littleyou can tell its not nearly as much. Just a little off topic question.

Oh wow. I went on M:S for the first time, I'd say a month ago. I looked forward the whole time, kept my head back, eyes open, everything, and I still felt really queasy. I guess it just has it's effect on certain people.

In the 10+ times I have been on M:S only one person has ever thrown up. It was a foreign kid who didn't speak english.

one Cm should hook up a camera and videotape Mission Space when it is running from outside the ride vehicles, and post it here, i would love to see that and it would focus on the cars spinning, not a fixed camera, cause i dont want the camera to be videotaping the bottom of the cars or anything

Yeah, but I think the vomit sound is a universal language.

I guess it's the same why people get airsick, carsick, are afraid of heights, of water of spiders, ... and other don't/ are not.

It gets on some, it doesn't get on others!

I've been on M:S as many as three consecutive times, with on more than a headache that subsided in 10-20 minutes.

sorry cant be done much less all the lights go out when the ride is running and spis really fast so you would need a really really expensive camera and i wouldent want to risk it becuse it would be bashed to bits it it fell or became up latched some how

and there is a camera system that would see the object and not let you dispatch the ride

but you can peek between the bigs doors by teams 7-8 and look through the crack and see it spin
