Fly aboard a futuristic motion-based shuttle simulator for an action-packed voyage into deep space.
Get inoculated for your voyage during a preflight briefing, then board the shuffle for a journey to our solar system's largest planet.
The "Electric 30 Motion System" and a 70mm film are synchronized to allow you to see, hear and feel events such as lifting off from Earth and flying by a working space station; then brace yourself as the Helix Catapult zaps you across time and space for a split-second trip to the gaseous, multicolored giant called Jupiter. Warning: You may encounter asteroids.
