Mission Space ...who has done it both ways? About This Page:

We rode it the first month that it was open, and loved it. Every trip since it seems that even the orange side is toned downed. For your little though try the green side first.

We've done the Orange side, with no problem, and I get sick on the Tea Cups We've also done the Green side last time, cause it had a shorter line, and thought it was good too.

The g-forces of the orange side aren't all that bad, but those who are sensitive to spinning may find this a difficult ride.

Yeah, it's not really the g-forces that get most people. It's the spinning. If you're concentrating on the screen though most people don't even realize it's spinning. Personally I can't feel the spinning motion. If you try to look at your neighbor though you might be in trouble, especially if you actually turn your head. Of course some people are more sensitive to it. Hence the 1000 warnings while waiting in the queue and during "pre-flight".

In 2005, my DGD (age 6) and I rode MS as the first ride on our trip (orange only was available.) When we got off, she told me that she did not want to ride again since it made her "squezzy." The evening before the last day, she told me she wanted to do it again so we added it to the list of things to do on the last day. Once again, she told me the same thing. My DW and I were in the park again in 2006 and in 2007. She does not do any fast or spinning rides so I rode the rides including MS by myself. I rode the green version to see how it was and found it enjoyable. In August 2008, DW, DGD and I were back in the parks and when we went toward MS, DGD said she did not want to ride it. I told her about the green ride and she jumped at it. Due to TS Fay, the crowd was very small so the line for MS was short. We rode it about five times in a row with only short waits in line. She really liked the new version and we only stopped the continuous cycle of running from the exit back to the entrance because my DW was getting bored sitting and waiting for us to finish. DGD has really found a new ride to add to her favorites---Test Track, Soarin', and Haunted Mansion. She could ride those over and over all day long if the lines were only short enough.

We did the orange and then the green versions back-to-back on our last trip. They are both great rides, and from now on I will do whichever line is the shortest. We did the green version because my sister backed out at the last second on the orange side. She has some pretty severe sinus problems. She had no problems on the green version and this became one of her favorite rides.

You are not upside down at all, just flat on your back with your knees up in your sitting position. You are looking up at the sky.

You will have fun on this ride whichever side you do!

The first time I went on, it was awful! I tried it after eating in Italy and sampling the bubbly at Club Cool. It was UGLY!!!!!!!!!

THe last trip I went on the wild one, and it was really not all that bad.
