You don't see it, but the ride vehicles spin rapidly to produce G-forces. The ride vehicles in the green line don't spin at all. They still shake, but they don't go into the centrifuge. Mission Space is a simulation of a ride to Mars. You experience blastoff, weightlessness and landing. So if she has problems flying, she might have problems even with the green line. About cleaning up. Disney has a test for guests with potential motion sickness problems. The ride vehicles are specially built with scanners that can predict when individuals are having motion sickness problems. A special mask drops down from the roof and covers the potential regurgitaters face and collects all potential expulsions. The system is 92% accurate. NASA is testing it for future space travel. Just kidding. But Disney does clean up the mess. (Wouldn't you hate to have that job.) Kathy,

If I had, say, and eight-year old daughter that typically throws up at the thought of getting on a commercial plane, is this not the ride for us? Because this mom doesn't clean up...ummm...those kind of messes very well. When you say “spinning stuff” could you elaborate just a bit?
