KEWL! I cannot wait to hear the music... Can you comapre it to anything? Like a movie score or anything?

LOL Your asking a Music major to do this so beware......HAHA......It's very magestic but also reflective at the same time. Honoring is also a good way to describe it. (sorry if I confused ya)

I know I sat there at least thirty mins just listening to the music.

yea, are you 'weightless' for the entire ride (post liftoff) or do you simply go weightless at various times throughout the attraction?

Question Rob ??

I remember it being reported long ago that some HORIZONS artifacts were going to be placed in M:S for nostalgia.Did you see any ??

they didn't tell me how it works (with good reason.. WDI still controls 2 of the centrifuges).. but I have my ideas. I'd just rather wait till the attraction opens to the general public so we can have a discussion about this

I guess more-so what it felt like then how they pull it off.

This is fantastic!!

It didn't seem long ago that we were watching horizons being demolished!!!

This sounds like an amazing ride, I can't wait to ride it (looks like i'll have to though :lol: !)

Thanks for all the news and comments Rob, it REALLY is appreciated!!!

 

[enough]

i'm headed out to WDW in september and I thought my anticipation of the trip was pretty high before - now I can barely stand to wait!


I too would like to know how long the weightlessness sensation feels, though - any insight MKT?

oh yeah.. this is coming back to me gradually...

the 4 positions are Navigator, Pilot, Commander, Engineer. Doing your "job" on the ride doesn't detract from it at all... in fact it ads to the realism of it.

I'm posting more as it comes back to me.

ps- I still haven't puked

Well, I told you, you would get your Preview ride...

I had mine too, a while ago... rode it once...

Once was enough for me... MORE then enough...

I sometimes hate those things...
Wife loved it as well... yes.. She did...
But not for me...No...
Guess I'm getting too old for this !#@##
Back to the Bourbon...

Rob, I do have a question that I forgot to throw out there yesterday:

Any kind of help for International Guests? Option of SAP or subtitles, blinking lights?










(I also noticed a certain someone has been eager for M:S but hasn't posted here yet... Weird, huh? ) This just proves you're :king: , Rob! And Tyler too, of course. :wave:

From the numbers, you then proceed into another room (Actually, its a hallway), with more numbers. I can see how this might cause confusion with some other guests... The video screen that was in this second "hallway" was on the blip... wasn't as clear as it should have been, and was flickering and whatnot. I hope they fix that.

This part sounds a lot like Soarin' over California. Since I think Rob rode M:S and Soarin' are they both like in this aspect?

Thanks for all of the information! It is truly exciting!!!

A couple of questions...As I'm older and prone to some motion sickness I (sadly) have doubts as to my participation, but...

While neither of you guys have...Uh, well, hurled...Is there any evidence of anyone else having trouble yet?

Also, is the feeling of "spinning" very evident?

Lastly, the weightlessness, is it effect or real? How long do you "float"?

no one I know hurled... but they had Reedy Creek EMT's and a TON of custodial CM's were there. The weighlessness is real, but it only last a few seconds

photography is not allowed... and I'll be honest, I was never a real fan of Horizons, thus, I don't know many of the references.. I know some, and I'll look tomorrow
