Yup haha. I’ll usually ride Splash Mountain because it’s a must, and I’ll go on Jurassic Park River Adventure in a row that doesn’t get very wet lol

 

No rides really scare me, but I’ll admit Rip Ride going straight up at the beginning is a strange feeling lol

 

I have not. I am too scared on things like Space Mountain.

 

The key is to do the water rides last. After Dudley Do-Right and Popeye it is time to go home.

 

My parents used to rent a locker at IOA so that we could do the three water rides first and then change our clothes

 

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this, haha. I’ve been on Popeye’s once and got absolutely drenched.

 

We usually do Universal Studios first, and then start at Islands of Adventure from Seuss land going up. That leaves the water rides near the end; you can just skip over to the superhero rides, come back to the water rides, and finish. The problem for me is usually wet shoes. My feet paid a price the next day.

 

No coaster/theme park ride scares me... but those water slides where the floor drops open to go almost straight down gave me second thoughts when I did that at a Great Wolf Lodge. Not sure I’ll do those again.

 

open water slides have always made me uneasy hah

 

I don’t like water slides in general

I’m also a child and can’t swim

 

Summit Plummet is definitely the most extreme water slide I've done, and I would love to try one where the floor drops from beneath me. I think there's one at my local Six Flags but I haven't been to the water park in years.

 

I almost drowned there as a kid so I’ll never go back

 

The Volcano drop slide at Universal is a bit much. Won't do that one again.

 

I’ve never done mission space. I guess I wouldn’t say that I’m afraid of it, rather that I just really hate feeling nauseous.

 

I've always done the mild version of Mission Space.

 

What kind of ride is Mission Space? I’ve only been to Epcot once, when I was really young.

 

Imo mission space is over hyped in terms of its extrememess - i wouldnt ride it after a long day of eating and drinking around the world but, idk ive never gotten off it feeling weird

 

I guess space flight simulator is the best way to describe it?

 

Flight of Passage gets me way more nauseated than Mission Space.

 

You sit in a space ship and it simulates a liftout. So a lot of shaking and stuff, but you're looking out the 'window' at an LCD screen.

 

What about Star Tours?

 

I think alot of what makes people not like M:S is also how turbulent it is in such a small confined space. Star tours is pretty open but, wouldnt call someone crazy for getting motion sickness on it.

 

Been a pass holder for years and most of the time I forget that mission space is even there. I think I sat on one of the benches outside the building once on a crowded day. I should probably ride it once in its original from before they put a zootopia ride there (and improve it).

 

Never had trouble with it and I make an effort to go on at least once per trip. The 5-10 minute wait time helps.

 

Didn't realize that my Six Flags membership was restarted, but not complaining. Looking forward to trying out the Jersey Devil Coaster. Yay, vaccine.
