Disney World readers shared their worst theme park experiences on a social media platform, with one particularly memorable story involving the intense Mission SPACE attraction. A reader named Claire described riding the Orange Mission and suffering severe motion sickness that left her unable to walk straight or see clearly after disembarking. She eventually made it back to her resort where she vomited before sleeping for four hours until feeling better again. The article explains that Mission SPACE offers two different mission options, with the Green Mission being less intense and suitable for families while the Orange Mission simulates Mars travel with spinning and tilting motions. Another reader named Megan recounted being forced by her husband to ride the attraction, resulting in severe nausea where she had to lie on a bench outside for an hour before recovering. The author suggests that while some guests might enjoy feeling slightly nauseous after this thrill ride, they personally would prefer other EPCOT experiences like dining around the world or exploring plant exhibits instead.
Key Points:
