can someone post a pic of it on the forumns cuz my stupid parental controls wont let me go there

thanks

just like copy it into your my pictures file and then put that file in the attachments box

thanks MKingdom25

very cool

Anybody know what will make this different from your normal ride simulator at places like DisneyQuest? Looking at this picture it makes me wonder how it will be different.

Wait a second. Is Mission: Space going to be a roller coaster?
If it is I will be a bit bummed.

If it is a roller coaster it will be the first one in the world without a track.
Now that would be novell.

I thoughtthe idea of this ride was to experience weightlesness. Trying hard to remember my physics but dont centrafuges just exert G forces. there has to be something more to it than that.
However how abot trying to be upbeat and not hammer the damn thing before the concept is even announced.
Less of the bad vibes:dazzle:

Hey guys im new here this is a really great site and it has alot of info on Disney.

I love it here

 

[SullyGal13]

o yea i forgot to tell ya, im walthimself05's sister

just wanted to tell ya

 

[walthimself05]

If its a centrifuge and is suppsed to simulate weightlesness, then maybe the central axis is on an elevator type thing and it drops you every once and a while or sumthin

Some food for thought:

If tilting you one way on a centrifuge simulates heavy G-forces, what should happen if you are tilted the opposite way while it is spinning?

True.. also remember "muscle memory"
You can duplicate this at home.. Go into a doorway. With your arms at your side, extend them till they touch the doorway. Now press hard against the doorway. Wait a minute or so. Now, release your arms and move away from the doorway. Notice how your arms start to rise up on their own?

Well.. if your spinning very fast for a period of time then suddenly slow down, a similar thing will happen. You will feel "simulated" negitave g-forces. That combined with the tilting of the pods is what will simulate negitave g's on Mission Space.

Yeah, you guys are rite. To get a weightless feeling, wouldnt you have to drop? How would they do that? For a minute and a half?

P... I was wondering, since the gravitational (sp??) pull of the Earth is caused by it's rotation, and the Earth spins X MPH counter-clockwise, what happens if you spin X mph (same as earth) clockwise? Could that be it, or do I need a school, badly? Lol. Well, thanks for listening.

To get true weightlessness, you have to fall at the same speed of gravity's pull on Earth, 9.8 meters per second. That is true weightlessness. A good example of this is at the TOT, when your flys out of the seat during the drops. The elevator itself is falling faster than gravity, and your are falling as the same speed as gravity, causing you to lift out of your seat and become weightless.

There are other ways to simulate being weightless. It is not the real thing, but if the right special effects are used, it is enough to get the job done. That is what MS will be doing, basically like Space42 said.

that's not the speed of the gravity's pull, that is the acceleration due to gravity: 9.81 meters/second squared. Anyway, here is how they would do this without making us feel nausious...

Have guests on their back at first, with their heads facing inwards. Start accelerating the centrifuge, simulating the high G-Forces of lift-off.

At the right time in the video, as guests are passing out of the atmosphere, allow the centrifuge to free-spin, and at this time tilt the cabins over so that guests are now on their stomachs, head facing out. Immediately apply power to the centrifuge, and you will experience zero-gravity without any jerkiness. They would have to time this perfectly, and even so, I think this ride system will demand shoulder harnasses...perhaps there will be a way to loosen those harnasses when guests are experiencing no gravity, so they can actually feel that. If disney does this right, guests won't even feel the car as it begins to spin. All they have to do is slowly increase the car to the speed where guests experience 1 G in the sideways position, and guests won't feel as though they are falling out of their seat, nor will they notice any changes in their surrounds. Pretty kewl effect!

Close enough. Physics expert I ain't
