There's also always the option of using it as an excuse to purchase Disney attire. ;)
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

Very true. My clothes are lame compared to the wonderful Disney themed ones. :mickey:

That would be an awkward image, people walking about covered in digestive juices. :D

while I was in the Undiscovered Futureworld tour, we were told a great tip by our guide. They actualy did studies on eating and not eating before MS and it is actually better to ahve eaten a little before you go on. People have always thought that by not eating you won't get sick, but the truth is thaty lowers your blood sugar level and gets you dizzier and well...that quizzy sick feeling. Being a diabetic I can really relate to that one! lol

Interesting, that does make a lot of sense. So the best bet I guess would be to have eaten about an hour or so before going on the attraction. We should definitely run our own test of this to see if we can confirm those results :D
I know they were doing a lot of studying during the soft-openings. There were CM's standing outside the exits with clipboards in hand. They did monitor who went to the garbage can as well.

If I decide to ride it, I will make sure to make it a little experiment of mine to remember when I last ate before I got on it.

I've never been on it either, even though they introduced the non-spinning side. My husband said that I probably would not like the feeling of being closed in. I trust his judgement and don't want to try it. It would be really embarassing if I started getting panicked and then would have to be taken off the ride.

My husband did say that, similar to what was said above, that the warnings are the worst part. The first time he rode it, he tried as hard as he could not to blink because the last thing the CM said before closing them up was, "Whatever you do, DON'T close your eyes!"

That is funny ~ his face during the "mission" was probably priceless ~ kinda like this :shock:
:lol:

That does make sense to have some food in your tummy, but give it some time to digest as Len suggested...

As long as you don't have to clean it up, it might be sort of funny to keep track. Oh, and you wouldn't want to be too close either :shock:

Hmmmmmm, I bet to more efficient in the distribution of labor, I'm pretty sure that after the CM kept track, he then had to clean up (that is, if the guests weren't cooperative by hurling the protein spill into the trash can)... :wink: :lol:

There were plenty of out of place looking trash cans to be taken as a hint for those that were not feeling 100% correct.

For green team, the only issue you will have is if you are claustrophobic or just uneasy about being closed into a confined space. The good thing is that you are not sitting in darkness for a long time and you just have to keep thinking that the screen is a window for you to look out of.

No claustrophobia, but if you're tall it can be an uncomfortable ride for you...(or it should be more than uncomfortable compared to other's discomfort)...

Really, you must be over 6-2. Mark didn't complain last year and he rode green team twice.
