I think the ride across 7 seas lagoon on the boat with the MK slowly approaching is a great attraction in itself as the anticipation grows the closer you get to the other side. I don't like the brain-shakers as much anymore and I don't live for the adrenaline rush as I once did. I am drawn much more into the visually appealing attracions. I would rather be entertained rather than excited.

YeeeFrickin'Hawwww. The only thing folks outside would see is the rocket rocketing out of a hole going straight up the side of a 36 story "Launch Tower", and then the beginning of the roll over as enters the descending tube. The load area could be very Retro 60s sci-fi with soft lounge/dentist office music and a nice lay's voice thanking you for flying InnerSpace Transport. Then BOOM your off. Imagine a Top Thrill Dragster/ Space Mountain mash-up, with great themeing.

Last night I could read what everyone was saying, but couldn't post because I had to sign in, so I did, it welcomed me back, then told me to sign in, on and on ad nauseum. Tried several times today, no luck, even changed my name, nada. Figured I would give it one more try. And here I am.
