I've heard the music here on Subsonic and to me it was...just average. Nothing spectacular, but not awful like HSM.

What's HSM? High School Musical?

And don't even get me started (again) on the Speedway. It doesn't even make sense where it is. What is so "Tomorrow" about gas powered cars that look straight out of the 70's? The only positive is that it seems like there's always a lengthy queue and that at any given time there's gotta be 25+ people on the course, that's a lot of people that are not standing in front of me at queues to good rides. But seriously, they always bring up space at MK when talking about developing/expanding (even though I'm pretty sure Disney owns most of central Florida) but they have this massive dinosaur sitting, again, in TOMORROWland. :!: :!: :!: :!: :x :!: :!: :!: :!:

MK: I've ridden everything currently there except for Space Mountain. I have back issues off and on, and even with the refurb, I am concerned the herky jerky motion would give me a more serious problem than I already have.

Epcot: Will never ride Mission: Space. Both versions are too enclosed for my liking, and I hate going upside down (even if it is so fast you can't feel it), which is another strike against Orange. I've ridden Spaceship Earth once, and never again. I am not claustrophobic; only really tiny or really cramped spaces bother me (for reference, ToT doesn't bother me at all), but ratcheting up into the sphere had me in panic mode, close to panic attack territory. That was actually the first time a non-tiny space made me claustrophobic. Still no idea why it bothered me so much.

DHS: Will never ride Rock 'n Roller Coaster (the upside down factor).

AK: Will never ride Dinosaur. I do not like large, scary looking stuff popping out at me from the dark. I've ridden Primeval Whirl once, but never again; that ride is just plain painful. And I rode that before I ever had a lick of back trouble! :shock:

Smart choice on Space Mountain. That really is jarring :shock: I'm ready for the track to be refurbished and smoothed out!
That is strange about Spaceship Earth...do you have any problems with heights? It definitely wouldn't qualify as a small, enclosed space up there in...well...space :lol:
Hmmm, Mission Space goes upside down? I guess I never really noticed that. I imagine you wouldn't do Sum of All Thrills at Innoventions then either? That is an awesome attraction but definitely a tightly enclosed space ~ but it only goes upside down if you design it that way ;)
You're the second person to mention Primeval Whirl. It took me a moment to figure out why you guys didn't like the Dinosaur Dumbo ride ~ then I remembered that was Triceratops Spin :roll: :lol:

I've never ridden Mission Space. My parents rode it one time and mom told me nothing but horror stories about it. :lol: I think what got her was the centrifuge motion and she won't even get on the teacups. I want to say she didn't know that it would be spinning.
Anyway, her bad experience with it made me not want to ride it, but I am not a huge fan of simulators anyway.

A ride that I wouldn't ride again? Astro Orbiter. I rode that with mom once and for one, I hate heights. Two...I felt like I was going to be flung out of the rocket, it seemed like it leaned toward the side.
I was sitting in the front with the controls and mom was like "Go up! Go up!" and I was screaming "NO!!!"
We stayed at the center the entire time. :lol:

That is the tricky thing about the Astro Orbiter. If you go up higher, the force feels like it is much less than if you stay down at the bottom. It isn't as noticeable on Dumbo because I don't think it rotates quick as quickly. If you are ever brave enough to try the Astro Orbiter again, go up as soon as you can and you will enjoy the ride much better. Plus the views are fantastic up there :D

I totally LOVE Astro Orbiter! I know it's a little cheesy but so what? When we're at Disney it's all cheese and grins. :) :D :mrgreen: :mickey: 8-)

I refuse to ever set foot on Stitch ever again. Almost caused a protein spill on my part. EEW. I also will only go on the "green" side of Mission: Space. I do tend toward motion sickness, and have a heart murmur, which dictates that I stay off the most extreme rides. However, I ignore all of that and ride RnR, SM, ExEv, and everything else at Disney. I wouldn't characterize any of those as really extreme, compared to other amusement parks, like one in northern Ohio. :)

I probably would ride any ride my kids want to ride. But if it were up to me, I'd never go on Journey Into Your Imagination again. I think that ride is just a waste of space.

I also think the thrill from Astro Orbiter doesn't outweigh how boring its queue is. But DD8 wants to ride it next trip, so I'm going on. Wife refuses.

No mission space for me. We sued to ride it all of the time, but for some reason I just don't feel good for a bit after a ride it. No go for me every trip now, seems to be the saw for my family as well. No one ever has a desire to ride it anymore.

You can think of the queue at Astro Orbiter as a chance to enjoy the background music of Tomorrowland??! It is definitely a slow moving line ~ better experienced early or late in the day.

I'm sure you are a victim of auto-correct or just a dimly lit typing area, but it was sorta funny to read that you sued to ride Mission Space ;) :lol:

I would really like to ride Space Mountain just once (not a coaster fan), and I was hoping after the refurb it would've been ok for me to ride. Then when it actually reopened and I started reading reports, I figured I was better off staying away still. I hope they smooth it out someday; I think you can have a jerky ride without it being as painful as that sounds.

Heights don't bother me at all, actually! Next to the now-broken Yeti on EE, the best part of that ride for me was the view from the very top of the lift hill. Love the view at the open-door part of ToT too, and I usually request the first row on Soarin' because I prefer being up higher. We've also been Flag Family at Wilderness Lodge before (where you go out on the roof and raise the flags early in the am), and I could've stayed up there for hours. So I don't know what my problem was. Just know I don't want to feel like that again! That was not fun. :shock:

You know, I've never even heard of Sum of all Thrills before! We usually skip Innoventions other than to quickly walk through one side or the other. I guess I should readup on it more; might be missing something else I would like!

With PW and TS, I get the names mixed up in my head too. I have to stop and think for a bit to remember which name goes with which ride. :lol:
