I did not include earth as we live there. Thoughts

The other issue I see .. the intensity. Since the concept is a simulator on a rotating axis that spins the cabin .. hence .. the forces that sent a few people to their grave ........ that whole "spinning" thing to create the effect of gravity would have to change entirely!

It was the first attraction of its kind to incorporate a traditional dark ride with a motion simulator. Passengers boarded faux deep earth tunneling machines on a journey to the center of the earth, guided by an animatronic Robot Pilot (voiced by actor Matt Cates). The ride involved a number of stops where windows on the vehicle would open allowing the occupants to look out at special effects along the route.<< ^^^^^ That...... could be Mission:Space 2.0 for Disneyland! Trip to another world ... Then the vehicle opens up to reveal a full "3D" immerse environment.
