The pre flight demo by the astronaut was very good. There were plasma or LCD screens mounted on Robotic arms that moved with the presentation. The room even changed color and glowed to simulate the fiery exhaust from launch.

The entire room shook and the audio system they used is better than stuff at Disney

When they 'tilt' you, they simulate the sound of keys and loose change hitting the back the orbiter. It was a nice touch.

The seats would deflate and along with the massive shaking of the ride and gave the feeling of experience g forces.

They route you right to the Nasa store after the ride, good marketing because we bought a ton of crap.

Its a must see and the highlight of the space center. It replaces my favorite Saturn 5 launch experience]]>May 26th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 28th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/Jun 2nd 2007 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 26th 2007 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/They also did have the centrifuge (sp?) which did simulate 4G for 6 seconds and man, that did not feel good. I was at the top shape back then and I don't get motion sickness but I did have to sit down for about 30 minutes before driving after that.]]>May 26th 2007 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/May 27th 2007 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/nasas-shuttle-launch-experience-thrill-ride-simulates-shuttle-b/
