Yes, I understand that. But I only give credit when due, and I do have issues with the place too. I have touched on some of the issues in the past. But in the context of StormRider, I honestly do not think the seams are as big a problem as some of the problems found in other attraction. It's certainly not as jarring as seeing someone's feet above you in Soarin'. |

I have to agree about those dangling appendages--- what a distraction!
Soarin' over Cali is good solid fun but 2 out of 3 riders are subjected to foot view. |

That's pretty much exactly how I feel.
Plus, BodyWars and Back to the Future made me extremely nauseous...Star Tours and Stormrider do not. |

Sat 8/25/2007 6:38p | I concur, Mr.X--I also felt icky after both Back to the Future and Body Wars, but have no problems on Star Tours or Stormrider. The vehicle in Storm Rider is so big, I can't imagine anyone feeling naseous from it.
Have you ever done the simulator in the Star Trek Experience in Vegas? Kind of a cross between Back to the Future and Star Tours--and more like Star Tours 2 once it all gets revamped. Also gives you the icks if you're not careful. |

Sat 8/25/2007 6:41p | Yes, Trek was great (the experience was fantastic...expecially getting transported!)...me and SuperDry went there a couple of years ago.
But yes, I do remember getting a touch sick...not as bad as those other two though iirc.
BodyWars was the WORST...that forwards backwards forwards backwards effect was neat, beating heart and all, but MAN did it make me sick, sick, sick!!
I never rode it unless I was with someone who was dying to check it out, at which times I suffered through it and they ran straight over to England for a beer to settle my stomach. :D |

Sat 8/25/2007 6:49p | Yes, being transported and realizing the entire room changed around you was great. That side of the attraction is still much better than the newer Borg 4D movie.
The real problem, with both sides, is that it's too expensive for what you get. I can't understand how they've managed to stay open so long. |

Sat 8/25/2007 6:54p | I'm very prone to motion sickness and could not stand Body Wars at all. Mission: Space was probably even worse and I felt sick for a good 6 hours after that. Forced me to return to my hotel room and call it a day. Even now, I'm still nervous about trying the Green Side. Though I know it's not nearly as bad as the original Orange side. |
