Do we need to check your blood pressure when you even walk by the place?

This may sound dumb but Mission Space ... It just (in my mind) isn't as cool as it used to be. I know from what I've read that they toned it down a bit after a few deaths. I'm not sure how much they toned it down or if that's even true but To me I just feel sick for a good 30 minutes after riding it and my wife aloways gets a headache after riding it. Not cool in my opinion.

Same here ... it just looks like a huge waste of time.

Soaked, walking around Disney, does not sound fun to me either ... I'm with ya on that one.

I think I might have gone on it back in the 80s...but never since. I'm sure though that once we start having kids they will want to do that.

I have not returned to WDW since a few attractions have been added.
The lines thing gets me I think ... I recently heard a story about someone who waited 3 hours for Dumbo ... firstly, I've never seen Dumbo that long, secondly ... it ain't worth 1 hour let alone 3. I've even got a little one and he won't wait in line for it. Hye says, "Daddy, let's go ride something else."

Have you been on the green, less intense side? Did that still make you both a little sick?

Oh yes, your kids will definitely want to do that. I remember that being one of the highlights for me when I was little. I actually got to drive a car

I'm sure my grin lasted on my face for a really long time after that attraction!

I really am excited about the Fantasyland Expansion if for no other reason than to give this next generation something great to experience...seeing as how we no longer have Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or 2,000 Leagues Under the Sea...two great things I remember from my early childhood trips.

Let's hope that the expansion actually delivers something to get future generations excited about!

Wizz has posted elsewhere his review of TLM at DLR so if it's really only half as bad as his review, then people may have their hopes raised too high for that ride...
...that just leaves us mine ride coaster, which won't open until 2013/2014 or thereafter...

Mad Tea Party.
And Orange Team Mission: Space.
That's all.

So no spinny rides for you? Are you able to ride Mission Space on the green side without problems? How about the Astro Orbitor and Dumbo?

They don't spin anywhere as fast as the Mad Tea Party or Mission: Space can. Those two are way out of the league in comparison to Dumbo/Orbiter/Aladdin.

Nowadays there are a few rides/attractions I won't/can't go on. I can't go on Tea Cups, Mission Space, and after my last trip..I think Rockin' Rollercoaster. It takes too long for me to get my barrings back on those. I won't do Tom Sawyer's island ever again until I have kids...and even that will be a stretch!
