This goes in hand with @danlb_2000 #22 post in his permits thread about how icon painting will take place on the big red/maroon planet they have stationed there.
I didn't come off it nauseated - it is quite an amazing experience. Have you tried it?Wish they'd refurb the inside to something new...
Everyone I know personally who's been on M:S did it once and never again because they all came off the ride completely nauseated.

I can see why someone would be nauseated after riding the orange sequence (spinning, g force), but I would suggest trying the green side/sequence for a tamer experience. Yeah it really is an amazing experience and the closest thing I'll ever get to a outer space experience.

Yup, in 2003. DW and I felt like we were about throw up as we got off. Haven't been on it since. Not something I wanted to chance and experience again, even on the tamer side they have now. I'm a chicken like that
I'll take a good coaster anyday though

I will say--I LOVED M:S in 2003. Very impressive to me. But, I don't think it has aged well. The interior (to me) looks very early-2000s (the inherent problem with going futuristic) and the ride video looks like something that would run on my (ancient) PS2. I really wish they had gone with better visuals. It's a major let-down on this ride.Yup, in 2003. DW and I felt like we were about throw up as we got off. Haven't been on it since.

Whoops, that was a typo. I'll edit that. Although would be cool if that did occur in the orange sequence.

Agreed, I really hope Mission:Space gets an extensive interior refurb soon.

My last trip to WDW over the summer, I asked a cast member how many G's you experience during the launch section of the ride. He told me it generates around 2.5-3.0 G's. Astronauts feel around 3.5 G's during launch, almost the real deal. I could see why some people would get nauseous

I must be one of the very few people that enjoy the outside, inside and ride. Just a feeling I get when approaching the building and walking in. The ride is amazing also. A must do a couple times when I'm in the world.

I'm confused as to why the outside is being refurbed; it looked fine, but okay.
It has looked beyond crappy for over a year. Flat out terrible. The planet no longer shined and the pavement around it is hideous.
It is an outstanding ride that cannot be experienced elsewhere. My avatar can also hint at why I have a soft spot for it.

I guess I didn't really take notice since I hadn't been to Epcot since 1999-2000.

I don't get nauseated but I get anxious being shut up in a tiny box with the potential that my crewmates will blow chunks while the ride is operating. First time I rode it I had a panic attack as soon as I saw the "air" sickness bags.
The ride itself is neat, although the graphics haven't aged well.
