Green is like Star Tours on Quaaludes.

:fork: Claustraphobia!?
Anyway, I'll be going green in 15 days.
No, that's something you can muscle through...It just looks small, trust me, it's more space then you need...

You are not claustrophobic, then.:lol::wave:
I got in one in 2006, had to get out. VERY cramped in there. I'm about the same size as you, Monty.

Like I said, I'm taller than all get out, I've spent hours in em'. I once rode (Before green side mind you) 14 times in a row, because it was raining and I knew the doors to get back into the queue without leaving covering from the downpour.
:lol:
It only looks tiny the first time you ride it...You're rushed, you're in the dark. I swear the second time I rode Mission Space I was getting in a different ride then I did the first time...

Well...We shall see. If I feel comfortable with Green, I'll see about Orange.

I was on green with three 70+ year olds (I didn't know them and didn't think they were paying attention at the beginning 
) last time if that tells you anything.

Dont get me wrong, MS is a good ride. I have only done the Orange team but I do not get the thrill of it. It is nothing more than a simulator (but enjoyable). I like hearing the woman remind you a million time about the warnings and the constant reminders up to the second of getting on the ride.

There's really nothing bad on the tame side. Piece of cake

Havn't ridden the green-pretty sure that would be a waste of time for me as I really don't find the orange that intense--just kind of a cool simulator.
A lot of people are very sensitive to motion and spinning and I'm glad they have the green side for those folks so they can experience the ride. People with severe claustrophobia shouldn't really attempt any side of this ride.
I do think though that there are a lot of people that get themselves so worked up before they go on that it makes them sick and feel bad for quite some time.
The other thing is that in order to enjoy MS you need to let yourself go and just forget that your spinning and let it make you feel like you are actually flying. It's easily ruined by focusing on the reality that your just spinning and I think that's what a lot of people do to.

My two cents:
Unless you are positive that one of the major warnings applies (you are claustrophobic, you have been on a spinning ride before and it upset you, etc), you absolutely owe it to yourself to give the Orange Team side a try, at least once. If not you are denying yourself a truly unique experience that the gang at WDI spent a load of money creating from scratch. There's literally no other ride quite like it anywhere.
Take a deep breath, listen to Gary on the screen, and try to let yourself get into the illusion of the attraction. Don't worry about "spinning" or "simulators:" climb into your X-2 cockpit, and try and do your job when it's time ("Push the button, Frank"). The launch sequence and the microgravity sequence are both truly memorable.
(Disclaimer: I'm pretty biased. As a kid who grew up wanting to be an astronaut and has, as an adult, come to grips with the fact that he will never fly in space, I'm pretty jazzed about this ride as it's as close as I'll ever get.)

WOW. That's pretty much all I can say about that one. lol. Barely feel anything?! You should probably go become a real astronaut or something because your body is apparantely built for it. :ROFLOL:

There are so many things right with this post.
:lol: :sohappy:
I always feel sorry when I walk past the open Bay doors or get off a Green Bay, to see the Multi-Million state of the Art scientifically engineered marvel of a ride system just sitting there using like 10% of it's design capabilities while the other 90% sits there wasting away. It's like taking people down into the 20K submarines and making them leave before it goes anywhere. Yea, you get the experiemce of sitting in a submarine, but you don't actually get a chance to get the intended sensastion just sitting there.
In my opinion, they should have only done one bay, and instead of changing the lines and advertiseing it, just had it "on request" like a Flight Check at Star Tours. Giving guests an option right of the bat is making more people do green than orange, which is again, sad.
