5. The Motion Simulation
Love: Theme parks have been using motion simulation for decades to add an exciting element to their attractions. Those lurches, sways, and wobbles underneath your seat can really intensify the ride experience. But it is possible to have too much of a good thing. One of the biggest problems with motion simulation is that it can be too abrupt or jerky, and it can leave the rider feeling more nauseous than impressed. The motion simulation on Flight of Passage, however, is not only realistic but very smooth as well. A contributing factor to this is probably that a large portion of the ride experience involves many long swoops by the banshee, and fewer sharp side to side turns. This prevents the ride sensations from becoming too overwhelming despite the long 4 ½ minute ride time.
