It really feels like you're in space
This simulator, opened August 15, 2003 at a cost of around $100 million dollars, recreates the feeling experienced by astronauts going into space. Wow! There is so much attention to detail, from the queuing area onwards. There are two options: the Green Line is the less intense version of the attraction, without the centrifugal force (this is what I went for), while real thrill-seekers can choose the more intense Orange Line. From the moment of take off, I felt the brutal sensation. I couldn't move my arms! The host of this attraction is none other than the actor Gary Sinise (CSI NY), who appeared in the film Apollo 13, telling the story of the beginning of space exploration.
The actor gives an instructional video and shows you what will happen once inside the capsule. Before you enter the module, you will be given a role in the mission, choosing one of: Navigator, Pilot, Commander, and Engineer. Each will have to perform a specific task in this simulator. You'll notice that when you enter the module, the attention to detail is very real. It really feels like you are in a space module. The lights go down, and then the countdown begins ... 3-2-1, lift off! Then the action starts! Once you wake out of suspended animation, you have to respond quickly to the instructions you receive. The super realistic special effects really make this attraction work. The Disney Imagineers have done an amazing job!
