Thanks John I love to watch everything on the Travel Channel or Food Channel about Disney. Here is a link to a site that tells you about upcoming TV events featuring Disney. http://www.bartlett-sloan.net/tv/age...odeagenda=soon

Thanks for the great link LTRJS. We too try to watch and record anything that comes on the air about Disney.

John,

Watched it. It delved into the reasons thrill rides attract people, and even suggested that these types of rides are good for one's health -- a bit of a stretch? Maybe, maybe not. Some of the WDW rides covered were: Rock 'n Roller Coaster, the new Mission: SPACE at Epcot, the Tower of Terror, and Test Track.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I rolled my eyes when they talked to different docs about your health after riding, but at least they say it's good to ride the thrill attractions at Disney.

I enjoyed seeing each of the rides, the rider's reactions, and hearing Disney imagineering talking about the attractions. The clip at the end..."what do you think of when you think of Disney" and "what do you think of now" was funny.

It was worth watching and going to grab it today to put on DVD.

MS is incredible! Been on it many many times. They didn't give away all the good stuff though. As well there is not such feeling as riding it. In the pre-flight briefing they talk about 0-60,000 is a few moments, they are not kidding!

You know, like any good "airline", they have placed the dependable barf bags in many of the pods for your comfort and use. LOL It's true, they are there. Friend of our's had to use one and thank goodness it's on there.

Because of eye trouble I can't ride, but Trendy Magic is addicted to it, looking for a clinic to help him. LOL I enjoy the mission control area while waiting for him to complete mission after mission after mission after mission... You know you can play mission controlon-line now, live, with mission control in Orlando and with everyone on the web? It's cool.

The bags are a very recent addition. I would suggest the ride to anyone to try it at least once. No other expierence like it anywhere!

Here is the direct link to M:S online.
