The Question is what is more intense General Motors Test Track or HP's Mission Space(Orange Team)?
My vote is Test Track

Mission Space is more intense for me. Like the lift-off.

But Test Track is more fun.

Mission: Space is definitely more intense, but Test Track is more enjoyable.

Mission:Space, Even after they have dialed it down over the last few years. It's still a very intense attraction.

They tell you 14 times, it's a dark, enclosed, spinny ride.

On the other hand it's a lot of fun. We normally get our FPs for Soarin' and then head over and queue up for M:S. Best thing ever was the time I went and got Soarin' FP and my wife was queued for M:S, the Soarin' FP had a M:S bonus FP.

For me Test Track is like a average drive into work every morning here in Philly. It is filled with nasty pot holes, heat or cold depending on what time of the year, and 80 MPH weaving in and out of traffic. Granted I don't have any banking turns but I still have a lot of speed and quick turns.

Mission Space on the other hand has a lot more of what I don't do. I rarely pull 2 G's, of course now it is down to 1.8 G's. I went on M:S back during press day at Epcot how ever many years ago it was., I think 3 now. I haven't been on it since then.

MS is definitly more intense. It didn't affect (or is it effect) me at all but it did mess my wife up pretty bad. We got off the ride and she had to sit down for a moment. You could just see in her eyes she wasn't all together there, like dizzy etc.

But as I said in another post, I was disappointed in MS. After all the hype it just wasn't that great. I loved the fact that I really felt the pressure, and i love that they got Gary Sinese (one of my favorite actors) but all in all it just left me wanting.

Mission Space is definitely more intense. Test Track gets mild after you ride it several times, you get used to the high speed banks. Mission Space so far for me hasn't gotten boring yet. But i guess it really depends on how your body handles forces during a given situation.

I agree M:S is more intense, T:T is more fun though, but the poll wasn't about fun lol I never got to ride M:S before they dialed it down. It would be cool if they changed it back up for a special event or something.

Mission Space by far... both are fun rides.

The take off has to be the best effect, in MS.

Just love it.. Its a kick in the pants every time I ride it.

I'd have to say Mission Space for the sole reason of, I haven't been on it yet. Green team was a load of fun, yet obviously lacking as they would never build an e-ticket with effects that mild. I've psyched myself out of Orange team ever since watching the pre-show vid.

Test Track on the other hand is in my top 5 of all time. Lame I know, it was one of the only attractions I saw get built from start to finish from getting in one ride on WoM in '95, to watching them gut the building through the next few years. I remember being inside during CM soft openings too... lots of fun. I'm 'that guy' quoting the preshow. Sorry. ;)

M:S is one of the most intense rides ever created and I've been on a lot of extreme rides and rollercoasters. Test Track is nothing. :wink:
Green team was a load of fun, yet obviously lacking
Does the centrifuge move on the green team? I thought they just played the video... :?

I don;t think the "green" centrifuge spins at all. the only thing that really happens is the pods tip back and forth a bit.

M:S, no question. TT is fun but I wouldn't really call it 'intense'. It's a little jerky in some spots but that's about it. Though if you're going to compare it to the green team M:S them maybe that version of M:S is tamer ... I'm not sure as I haven't done green side. I would think green M:S would be 'worse' than TT if you were particularly claustrophobic, though.
