Two people have died after riding the attraction. "It is a ride so intense that it offers its riders throw-up bags," Local 6 reporter Jessica Sanchez said Friday. Epcot guests will now have two options when it comes to the ride; they can either go on the current attraction or a new version, which provides a milder experience, according to the report. <<

Originally Posted By Trinitys Ghost I rode both versions yesterday with friends, and have to say that the "tamer" version that does not utilize centrifuge motion is still pretty good. Even tilting the cabins back and forth, and side to side provides enough simulation to go with the visuals you see.

Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp We went on the tamer version yesterday, and were pleasantly surprised. Even without the spin, you still had the sensation of blasting off at the beginning - the only difference I felt being that my facial muscles didn't squish back to the rear of my head. It was amazing that this feeling still exists, since I thought it was the centrifuge that caused the blast-off sensation, and yet it was still there. Would absolutely recommend trying this one if you have a problem with the regular version (thank goodness I don't, so I can describe the differences based on experience).

Originally Posted By vbdad55 ^^^^^^^^^^^ Will be interesting to see as some of the recent riders reviews says it now reminds them of Star Tours. If that is true and people with motion sickness now feeel it is tame enough to go on...it could still be a slight issue. I plan to ride both sides back to back in about 10 days...curious to see the difference.
