I just need to know why I can't close my eyes--I'm afraid that if I start to feel yucky I will really want to close them--like on other simulators--what is different about this ride? I am no chicken, but I don't want to ruin the day by feeling ill, or being sleepy from Dramamine--- I need to add again that I don't usually suffer from motion sickness--all this talk just worries me-thanks :veryconfu :veryconfu

The key to convincing your brain that you are moving normally in a simulator is for you too see with your eyes, what you are feeling with your inner ear. If you close your eyes, your brain cannot coordinate what it is seeing and the inner ear feeling, and you might get motion sickness. Its critical to watch the visuals.
Hope that helps!

Cool facts! Never knew that before!!

As for Sir Hiss527 who said they lowered the ride from 6g. to 4g, who ever told you that hasn't got his facts straight... They wouldn't start it with 6 g because that is near a black out situation... Disney would never risk it!

Untrained people would black out above 4 G...

Even 3G's would cause you to vomit on a summer day...

My bad, I accidently pushed enter before I was done.

Anyways my real thread is I have a guy that goes to my church, and he's a paramedic for Disney, and he was telling me that for M:S they get like 60 calls a day, for people who get sick, or passout, or something. And they even have a "Codename" for the ride when it happens. "Yep we got another one at M:S". And for that reason they had to change the 6 g's for the ride down to 4 g's due to the condition. He also said that he got to ride it before anybody, and he said during his flight the ride video when out, and he got really sick he said.:hurl:. Is this bad news for M:S? The more people get sick, the less people who ride it. Tell me what you think. Thanks!

M:S cannot produce 6gs. 4gs is too much, it's much more like 2.5gs.

I wouldnt listen to too much of what he is saying, as some of his facts are not very accurate at all.

Mission Space installed in WDW hasnt tested with anyone running at 4G. Infact the hardware at WDW is only capable of 2.5G max. So he is either very mistaken or making a few things up with his 6G and 4G comments.

The WDI prototype tested off site could do 3G, and a unit installed over at NASA can deliver 4, but not Mission Space.

The G profile at WDW has never been changed since riders have been allowed on. The parameters were set in stone way before people were riding, and that level is between 1.5G and 2G.

That sounds lower than you were saying before Steve! I thought it did do 3gs, but was reduced to 2.5gs.

I could have misunderstood him, next time I see him, i'll ask him again.

Nope I have been talking 2.5Gs tops since 9 December 2002 over at http://www.wdwmagic.com/space_pavilion_ridesystem.htm

The actually G'age has never been officially announced. So my estimates of between 1.5 and 2G for the ride profile have come from people who worked on the development of the attraction. So while its a very close estimate, it isnt a precise figure. However, we do that the centrifuge has a max G capability of 2.5G.

LOL and as corrus and I have said a couple of times, the profile never changed! :animwink:

...Ahh, yes!...How much I love a nice, central FL summer day! Relaxing...Soothing...

Wretching on the walkway!...

...and all the while, the JAMMitors are playing your favorite toon with every dry-heave!

Anyone care for a turkey-leg?:lol:

What A Bunch Of Babies!

All of these complainers should be shipped to Mars with the next probe and left there! :wave: The ride is one of the BEST rides I've ever been on and I think that it should actually be MORE intense!!!

I agree.

I was being facetious.

This is the scene witnessed as I'm sitting watching the eye-candy stroll by in the breezeways.

You will notice I offered to "up" the G's a few posts ago.
