Poor old MS! When it first opened, it had the misfortune of having a death toll. People that ignored warning signs road it with conditions that created serious health threats, some knew they had these problems and for others they were undetected problems. So there were two, maybe three people that died either while riding it or shortly after. OK, turns out there was a reason that NASA had such a rigorous physical screening before you could become an astronaut. Anyway, people with heart, respiratory and real inner ear motion sickness issues had a very unpleasant experience riding MS. The word got out very quickly that MS was a killer. Since very few people really wanted to end their vacation in a box, it was avoided. Even myself, with no history of heart or respiratory problems and at age 50 (something) had never ever experienced any motion sickness, avoided riding it.
Then one day, while sitting outside of it munching on a Emu leg, I said to myself, self what is your problem? You have never been sick on a ride... go for it. I did!
I know you are all expecting a story of projectile vomiting, etc., but, I'm afraid it didn't happen. I rode it and as it stopped the first word out of my mouth was AWESOME! (just that loud too) That was previous to the green side. Since that time I have developed a small respiratory problem, so I elect to ride the green side because the orange side launch and slingshot literally takes my breath away, but not in a good way. It is a ride that requires a complete commitment to the world of make-believe.
