Since age 35 or so, I can NO LONGER do Body Wars, Star Tours or Bach To The Future...simulators like that make me nauseous. Rock & Roller Coaster is "iffy" for me...depends on whether or not I'm having a good vestibular day. I CAN still do Spiderman and you can spin me as much as you like and I have no problem (I still LOVE Teacups).
I had NO problems with Mission: Space, which is essentially a spinner and a simulator at the same time. Only thing I noticed was after "lift off" and we're just floating in space for a few seconds, I could feel my eyes going back and forth (nystagmus...it's what your eyes do until you regain your balance after spinning a lot). But I had no nausea at all.
Personally, I wasn't that impressed with the ride. Don't get me wrong...it was done well and you can tell they spent a LOT of money on it. But space flight was never my cup of tea. My husband, OTOH, who is an astronomy fan, thought it was VERY cool.
It has no decent music to tap my toes to. All you do is see a movie and feel the G's. I'm with Dr. Know...give me AA any day...but I think those days are long gone.
