    I watched a POV video online. There was a LOT of screaming going on. It seems to be a fairly thrilling ride.

    The problem of people being unable to ride was the subject of a story on local TV (WKMG channel 6) last night. They said that WDW will be adding a "test vehicle" at the beginning of the queue so people can make sure they will be able to ride.

    Well, it looks like tron vehicles which were for a much smaller demographic.. Hmm, which is a sore subject since I wish we had tron, though I don't think I can fit the bikes. Still looks cool.

    Can anyone tell me how long this ride lasts. I am a little nervous about it being a motion type ride and am nervous to be on it for too long.

    When I rode it some were screaming. It is thrilling. Most of the screaming was during drops (actual drop is no more than 4 feet), I closed my eyes on the drops. It's the 3D illusion of dropping that some were screaming at.

    It is very smooth and not jerky like Star Tours. I have back problems and the seat back that holds you in really felt good on my back. I was hesitant at first as I can be a ride wimp, but I really loved this. To me Soarin' is scarier because of the height. Just to add , I'm not tiny and had no problem with the seat.

    It's about 5 minutes, give or take. Around the same time frame as Soarin'.

    I'm apple shaped, 5'6 , 228# and had no problem. The f'arther forward you move up the better. The girl next to me wasn't as big and she had to have extra time to get set in. It's like you are on a motorcycle, leaning forward. I don't know if your daughter will be able to ride or not. That's the call of the CM. I hope she will be able to ride.

    I think it is hard to tell if you will fit until they get the test seats out there or until you actually try. I'm 5'8", have 17 inch calves, and wear a size 10-11 shoe. I had plenty of room for my legs but I can definitely see an issue if you are not flexible enough to get your foot all the way to the front. My friend's son is 6' 3" and 280. He did not fit but I also saw a man who wasn't very big struggling because he couldn't get one foot in far enough. They ended up having him take off his shoes.

    As far as motion sickness, Star Tours can make me sick but I'm good with Soarin' I took a ginger pill before I rode just to be safe and was absolutely fine. The second time I rode right after I ate and felt a very small bit queasy but really had no problems. I highly recommend taking something before you ride it if you think you might get sick and trying it out. It is a great ride.

    This is rather disappointing news. My oldest son's gf is a pretty large girl. We had problems at Universal due to her size. They handled it poorly and she left crying. That night I promised there wouldn't be any issues like that at Disney. There wasn't for that trip, but I don't want her to go through that again, especially at Disney where she wouldn't be expecting it.
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    I understand they are keeping track of those unable to ride. Maybe larger seats if there's too many?

    I am intrigued - what is a ginger pill? I love fresh ginger but have never heard of a ginger pill.

    I have heard of ginger pills. They are good for motion sickness as well as peppermint. I think you can get them in a vitamin section of a drugstore. I will have to check it out as well.

    Ginger pills are problem a "your mileage may vary" type of item. Ginger is considered a natural remedy for motion sickness. I bought the Dramamine version which was right next to the regular Dramamine. There are other brands. Regular Dramanine can cause drowsiness and I don't want to be drowsy at a theme park. I get sea sick as well as motion sick if I'm in the back seat of a car. Star Tours can big me depending on which scenario I get. The ginger works well for me.

    Thanks AgentC - I use fresh ginger for migraines but had never heard of a pill version. I definitely will look into this as I get car sick and circular rides get me (tea cups, etc) so maybe these would help.

    I get motion sick too. I would love to try this, but I would absolutely take a Bonine first.

    A "test vehicle" has now been placed outside the ride for guests to determine whether they will fir or not.
