Mission Space "Gravity Wheel" Not Rotating?

[RonAnnArbor]

It definitely rotated through early November of 2012 -- since December it hasn't moved -- in 6 different visits about once monthly....so its been down since early December at least....

That sounds legit; I was there late November/Early December and don't recall it moving then...

I don't recall ever seeing it not rotating, but I also rarely bother with M:S if the line's over 1 minutes. So with as slowly as it rotates and how fast I walk past it, it could've been stopped and I wouldn't have noticed.

Declining by rotations...

We must've just missed it rotating in mid-November.

I saw it rotating on April 13th at least and know I have seen it rotating in January too. Hmm

One time I rode Mission Space and the whole building was spinning, they must have been working on that feature because it was broken when I walked in :-/

If it is not spinning then won't we lose gravity?

Nah. We just lose a little bit more of that Disney magic.

Has been spinning everytime I have ridden it over the years.

My God, does that mean there's less gravity in Disney now ? I always had a secure feeling when the gravity wheel was spinning. It comforted me to know it was operating efficiently. Now someone please check, does the moon buggy have a flat? Did anyone report this to Gary Sinese ?

Wow, a year later and this is still broken. Just figured I'd revive this thread as the other asks some questions which may be answered within this one.
