Wed 10/4/2006 10:11a | Can anyone tell me what type of ride this is. I do know that it's a simulation ride but is it open like Hanna Barbara and Back to the Future or is it like Body Wars which is closed in? |

Wed 10/4/2006 11:11a | One thing I can tell you is for whatever reason, Body Wars always made me nauseous....even after laying off a few years and trying again before the Pavilion was closed. I have never had that feeling on Star Tours....
p.s. I ride many thrill rides so I am usually not suspect to that feeling...never could figure it out. |

Wed 10/4/2006 11:22a | I just knew someone would mention how Body Wars makes them feel queezy. As someone who has not had problems on either, I fail to make the connection as to why, but it must be the content of the movie itself. |

Wed 10/4/2006 11:46a | Maybe for some, for me, I don;t think so, In college I took pre some pre med classes and watched things like facial reconstruction and most major surgeries on film...the content would not have bothered me, which is why I really cannot figure out, but it happened every time, not just once in a while. Wierd |

Wed 10/4/2006 12:16p | I'm willing to buy anything as it has baffled me forever. I don't get seasick, I scuba dive so water not likely it, I handle all thrill rides well ( not so well on rides like teacups any longer though LOL ) - if anything I found the movie boring in Body Wars...yet felt like yuck each time I exited. |

Wed 10/4/2006 12:23p | Thanks for the info. I have been on Body Wars and was no good the rest of the day. So, I guess Star Tours is out for me. I have a very weak stomach to begin with. My husband goes on all the thrill rides and the tea cups get him every time. No explanation for that. |
