Ride Tips

Consider the intensity level of each mission when choosing which version to ride, especially if you are prone to motion sickness or have young children. The Orange Mission of the attraction is a particular culprit for motion sickness, so if you have anyone in your party that may suffer from it you will want to avoid that version fo the ride.

Is Mission: SPACE Kid-Friendly?

Best For: Thrill seekers, space fans

Will Mission: SPACE Cause Motion Sickness?

If you do suffer from motion sickness, you are going to want to opt for the Green Mission of the ride. While the Orange Mission uses a centrifuge, the Green Mission is a much milder experience. That being said, both rides take place in tighter spaces, so if you are someone who gets claustrophobic or is sensitive to that, you may want to skip altogether.
