I recently went on this ride and got sick as it was still going. I am 38 and in good health. Others getting off were also pucking their guts out. The motion on this ride was constant spinning worse then any rollar coaster I have ever been on. Frankly no comparison. This ride was the most intense ride I have ever went on and I wish I didnt go on it. Others in our group spoke about the intensity. It was the closest one could get to taking off into space while staying on earth.
BTW barf bags were provided at every seat in the capsule. Clearly many get sick on this ride.
I rode out Hurricane David at sea off of Charleston in 1979 in a frigate. After 24 hours of constant up, down, left, right, and diagonal, every "thrill" ride is pretty tame.

I read a story a while back about it. At the grand opening they had a number of former astronauts. One of them commented the ride was much better than any of the simulators they went through during their training at NASA.
