I agree, for first time riders follow the instructions they give you about not closing your eyes and keep looking straight ahead. I rode it on our last trip for the first time and had no problems. I'm a bit claustrophobic but the cool air they blow on you helps a lot with any anxious feelings you might have. I felt a little light-headed but it passed after about 10 minutes or so. I'm glad I rode it and I will ride it again, I think I will enjoy it more in the future now that I know what to expect. The liftoff was a little more intense than I expected but it did feel cool to experience what former astronauts say is pretty close to the real thing. All in all I think anyone that doesn't get too anxious should try to ride it at least once.
