M:S Hints

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!

Maybe if too many people stop riding it they will have to close it down. Since Disney has spent alot of money on the ride maybe when they close it down they could turn it into a museum. It will be the first attraction people will have all access to. You will be able to see where all the "magic" happens even though it really isn't happen because they had to close the ride.
It doesn't mean anything. It is still a new attraction. They have kinks with everyting. Doesn't Test Track still close down as soon as dark clouds role in?

A good majority of the people who get sick on M:S are idiots. Truly. And Im not joking on that comment. These people sit there and say (And I have heard them) "Oh I knew I was going to get sick" :brick:
Then Why ride
Why

If you knew you would get sick, THEN DUH, YOU SHOULD'VE GONE ON IT!
I used to have sympathy for these people, but now that we have the warnings like every five feet (I know its not but it seems like it), and they still go on, they deserve it.

Obviously, there are those who get sick (be it because of some condition) and they thought they could handle it (Like those who can do super spins on Tea Cups, but this is just too intense for them). Or they've never had any problems, anywhere at all, on any ride, and they fall apart after MS.

My wife is one of those idiots, but it is sort of my fault. She is terrible with simulators. She always tells me she can't go on because she will get sick, but I force her on there atleast once just to try it. She wants to see ever ride and figured it is worth getting sick just to experience everything. I think she has been on everything but Body Wars. Back to the Future is the ride that was the worst for her. Sick for hours.:hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl:

Body wars and star tours just tear me up but I really had to ride Mission:Space. So I bought my $11 box of dramamine at the Coronado Springs gift shop and took it an hour before the ride. Just kept looking forward like the instructions tell you to, and no problems at all!!

I think I read it was 1.5 G's. Real astronauts have said it is not very much different from the real thing. I'm glad I'm not one of the people who get sick on it.
It was fun! The first time was the best.
As I wrote on another thread, please follow the instructions. It's not rocket science! Look straight ahead and keep your head back. If you were going 37,000 mph in real-life, would you close your eyes or look around? I don't think so. I feel sorry for Disney. They spent millions and millions of dollars and a few people MAY BE ruining it for everyone else. M:S was a walk-on most of the time I went there last month. There were also senior citizens and young children who enjoyed this attraction very much. :lol:

Just out of curiostiy, how are all the disney attractions on capacity? Does anyone know specifics. It is pretty impressive how they filter som many people through these rides.

On Body Wars, and Star Tours I always know that if I feel funny I can close my eyes--I guess this strategy won't work? I'll be there in a week, so I could use some advice--I don't usually get sick-I just don't want to take the chance---:veryconfu :hurl: :hurl:

i have never gotten sick on a ride at all. I cant wait until i go to epcot next but i have no idea when we will be going. Were going for MVMCP in December maybe i can talk them into spending $200 and go to epcot.
I cant wait for mission space. i seriously doubt that i will but everybdody else in my family does so ill prolly go on it alone.

Actually...In the three "cattle chutes, the warning spiel is a 30 second spiel wioth a 20 second pause. That's a 50 second loop total. Not to mention the time you hear it in the briefing room and the three times you hear it prior to boarding.
I had to laugh when I was there though. One of the guys in my "crew" was this big buff football player-looking guy and he "knew" that his girlfriend was going to get sick so halfway through the attraction he leaned forward and looked over at her and made some smart comment. I think it was karma...either that or extreme vertigo...either way he needed help stepping out of the pod and walking to a bench to wait for First Aid. Get this...He had the flaming stupidity to say that he wasn't warned that something like that might happen. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:
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.

Thank God!
I'm sitting here thinking to myself...
"For as many times I've been on, and as early as I got a chance to ride- before the official openings- I can't tell the difference in a lower G-force from day 1!"
Now that I'm accustomed to the ride, I say crank it up!
...an extra .2 or .5 can't hurt!

Heading for the great escape.
I have never had a problem with coasters, but the first time I rode MS i left the ride feeling a little un easy. My eldest daughter did too. On each subsequent ride I have felt no where near as bad but unfortunately Zoe will no longer even consider riding it. The Rottweiler on the other hand loves it and this forces me to experience the ride again and tell myself it will be over soon.
For me this is an experience not a thrill as in ToT or the IoA attractions, but its well done and I will ride again for the sake of family unity.

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

If you do not usually suffer from motion sickness, then you should be OK.
My guess as to why they say do not shut your eyes is that you are in a spinning simulator. With you eyes shut all you will be conscious of would be a repeated spinning motion (which makes many people feel ill). However with your eyes open and looking at the monitor, you are now fooled into thinking you a moving in a forward direction, or banking left and right, so you will not be conscious of the repetitive spinning motion.
