Originally Posted By RoadTrip I love the attraction... probably my favorite of all the WDW thrill type attractions. I don't think the attraction killed anyone. There were a couple of people that died from pre-existing conditions while they were on the ride... something that could have happened just as easily on the Rock N Roller Coaster or Tower of Terror. As for the weak version (Green Side) I think it is very enjoyable. I still usually go on the Orange, but I think the Green has about 85% of the enjoyability of the Orange with very little chance of becoming ill. Not a bad tradeoff for those prone to nausea.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I hated the orginal, but I think I'd be willing to try the green one of these times. But I am glad it is there for those who enjoy it!!
Originally Posted By sherrytodd Here we go again... My family and I really enjoy this ride. Test Track always has a line, but Test Track is also a slow load lower capacity ride. You can't compare the lines for Snow White and Mission Space. Snow White is a very low capacity ride. And people did not die because of Mission Space. They died due to pre-existing medical conditions. People have also died due to pre-existing medical conditions on Pirates of the Caribbean and the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon.

Originally Posted By mstaft Yeah, I've ridden it three times total over 2 trips. Both sides now. That was enough for me.
Originally Posted By ni_teach The reason that I had asked was that several people posted that they wanted it brought to Disneyland in CA because it was so popular. While I enjoyed it, I didn't find it that repeatable, but they might have changed it enough since it first opened. Based on what you are saying, it's good, but not great.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad I ride it at least twice per trip to WDW. My 12, 8, and 6 year old and I make a great CREW. I have noticed the strategically placed garbage cans in the exit tunnel. I have seen a person barf in these twice. I really don't understand that, as the ride has totally thrilled me and my kids. I love it and to me personally its like NOTHING else I have EVER been on. I think the fact that those couple of riders died has got a lot of would be riders scared of the thing. When I ride I am usually among the oldest of the riders, and my kids among the youngest. We did the Green side this last trip. It really is very enjoyable, but there is very little "G Force" on that side. It's like Star Tours or something, simulator but no spinning. It is one of my favs but then SE is my fav.

I know I've only done it three times in three visits. Twice with the normal force and the last time with the reduced. My wife has only done it twice, once normal, after which she said never again, and once reduced.
