Without a doubt it is MS. I think Test Track is a pretty tame ride. I enjoy it a lot, but its not very intense.

M:S is way more intense. But that's really just the take off and sling shot. I have to say though, the take off is one of the most amazing feelings I've ever experienced on a ride. What I find interesting is the 2nd time I rode M:S, besides the take off and sling shot, I found myself a little bored.

Mission Space, hands down. I'm a coaster freak and like intense rides. Test Track has no intensity and most of Mission Space isn't that intense. But, there is that moment, right before you lose gravity during take-off, that is very intense. I have to admit, at that very brief moment, I think the skin on my face is about to be ripped off.

I found this was the case the first time I rode MS. I guess you can rate this one a sick factor but not intense.

That is correct green team just jerks you back and forth.

The orange team is the one that spins as well.

I've been on every version of M:S since 2005. Everytime Disney has to shut the ride down and re-inspect it seems they dial it down. I think the green team was the ultimate dial-down.

When we first went on the green team the CM told us that the jerky-ness of the attraction had been dialed up to make up for the lack of centrifuge. But if they did I have no idea where they did it.

Mission Space was the more wicked ride. Test Track is okay but tame compared to the other one.

Mission Space is the more intense ride.
But if you arn't that fond of sims it is a little sickworthy.

I guess I should have clarified myself a little better about the sick factor. I'm sure even though most people don't actually get sick, a lot of them feel some kind of side effect, maybe just temporarily. I am in the gaming industry and have spent a lot of time in simulators fixing and riding them. Its not a matter of being fond of them (which I am), I think Disney could have done a lot more for MS to make it not as boring. You want people to ride over and over again, not just once or twice. I guess for the average person, they will think it's intense the first time just because it is a new type of experience with the centrifuge.

Test track is just like my fathers driving so i'm used to it. He wont ride rollercoasters... We always tell him they are more smooth that his driving. But Test track is just like his driving. Mission Space is definately more intense. With the inclosed enviornment and high g-forces along with that "crash" onto mars lol. Mission spare takes it over test track

I like both of these rides, but Mission Space is more intense. A dose of Dramamine before riding might make this ride more enjoyable for most.

Test Track, for me, is very mild - you can get the same effect putting the top down on a convertible. Fun ride, but not really a thrill element. Mission: Space, on the other hand is super fun, quite thrilling and a blast!

Test Track is more intense for me because I tend to consider the thrill factor important. Mission Space is a good ride, but just too much for me.
