Interesting. I have a fear of heights too, but I don't get bothered by Soarin' - in fact it's my favorite attraction.

I would have to say Captain EO. And anything that makes me motion sick (Mission Space, Muppets 3D, Star Tours 3D).

Welcome to the boards! Have you ever tried the milder version of Mission Space? Like you, I got a pretty good case of motion sickness from the "Orange" version but really enjoyed and felt fine after the "Green" version.First post to the forum here

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I'm shocked. I thought I was the only person who felt this way.

Stitch. Whoever came up with that concept has an awful lot to answer for.
Mission: Space. For obvious, vomit-related reasons.
Ellen's Energy Adventure. I like Ellen but the ride is as boring as the physics classes I had to endure in school.

Stitch...There are as many people that like Stitch as dislike it. There was a time when there were no lines at all, but the same thing happened to Alien Encounter. Every time I have been there recently, there has been a line. People that go and see it need to relax a little...take the pressure off the sphincter.
Mission Space...I have been on this ride countless times in the past 10 years. Both sides! I have ridden with hundreds of people that I have never seen before. During that time, I have never seen anyone get sick, before, during or after the ride. Me thinks it potency is more of urban legend then most realize. It had some problems when it first started up and that has carried through since then. It is amazing what people can talk themselves into.
Ellen's Energy Adventure...I would be that last one to say that it is pulse raising, but if you think this is bad you should have seen the original. Please don't tell me you did and it was better cause it will create a situation where I will convulse into uncontrollable laughter.

I don't find Stitch to be anywhre near the quality of Alien Encounter. I get why they changed it, doesn't mean I have to like it. I really like Stitch as a character, the ride I don't. Sometimes it has a line, sometimes it doesn't, that doesn't really influence my opinion of it. If I want to alleviate the "pressure off the sphincter" I'll happily ride the TTA instead.
My entire family threw up straight after riding Mission Space, no urban legend there or me talking myself into believing something at all. Did it once, doing so knocked a day off all of their holiday so we never went back.
Nope, sorry to disappoint but I didn't see the original EEA. I have seen the current version, can't say I was a fan.

There's the ride photo of me and my friends holding hands and cryingDINOSAUR. This needs to be strongly emphasized because I am almost 100% sure I had a heart attack on that ride. Scared the pants off of me and Im a grown woman!

for me the one ride I would never go on again is mission space. and sadly it has little to nothing to do with the ride itself. it basicly comes down to either what I perceive as terrible policy, or poor cast member training.
to be honest I fel very little actually on mission space, however it we a different story for my mother. though she never had issues with coasters or any other rides before after mission space she felt kind of dizzy, similar to vertigo and sick like one normally expects of motion sickness in that nauseous way, but she didn't actually get to the point of vomit.
so she gets off the ride, and outside the ride you have that exit hallway and there is a benchmark at one wall. so she goes and sit on the bench to get her bearings back.
we are approached by a cast member within 30 seconds which, I applaud because at the time you did hear rumors of people getting sick a lot and Disney clearly took it seriously.
but then the conversation went downhill quick...
"hi ma'am are you feeling okay?"
"yeah I just feel a little dizzy an needed to sit for. second"
"okay maam do you need us to call you an ambulance?"
" no no I just need a second to get my bearings back"
" okay ma'am we can't have anyone in this hallway, we can either call you am ambulance or you need to go outside"
" I'm not sitting here for fun I just need a second"
"ma'am again we can't have guests here you need to leave"
..... and so it was at the point I had to help my mother up and support her as she went along the wall of the hallway to keep balance and help her to another bench just outside that arcadey gift shop area.
she was better in 5 minutes btw, but went
back to the hotel just from embarrassment.
now I dont blame the cast member if that's what they are taught, but if that's the case why are they taught that? that's a bit of an extreme ultimatum to give... leave now by yourself or in ambulance? that was really the only option for situations in disney?
and maybe this is a better question, nobody can be in this area...... yet somebody took the time to craft, paint, ship, and install this magic bench that nobody could sit in? where on earth (or mars and space as this case is) are people building benches specifically so nobody can use them? that makes zero logic.
so for me that's one I'm never going back to, I mean I'm obviously biased but to me there was something very wrong in that picture, and I don't even really consider it Disney in my head

Sorry, I know that the first two appeared, due to the last one, to be directed at you. I wasn't being very clear, I know it has happened to some, but I'm saying that it isn't as prevalent or caused by the ride as much as people give it credit for. Just saying.
As I stated, if you had seen the first one you would think that this is a high speed thrill ride. It was the most godawful 45 minute commercial for Exxon ever presented. It was shameful not to mention boring beyond words.

No problem, I'm happy to explain why I'm not a fan of those rides. Fair enough about Mission Space, I'd heard the rumours about it beforehand and unfortunately in the case of my family they came true; maybe they just have weak stomachs.

Yes, it was the green version. Simulators make me queasy.

I didn't actually puke on Mission Space... although my MIL did. However, I seriously thought I was going to, and I had to remain sitting for an hour afterwards before I felt okay to walk again. Just because someone doesn't appear sick doesn't mean it didn't mess them up. Some of us are just more sensitive than others. I can't even ride Soarin' without feeling queasy.
