I rode Mission: Space almost immediately after it opened and thought it was the best motion simulator I’d ever ridden. (Actually, the only good motion simulator I’d ever ridden.)

Never once got nauseous. (Though I tend to follow the instructions on amusement rides. They don’t give them to you because they want to.)
I went back a few years later. Apparently they were tired of cleaning up the barf and had changed the simulation dramatically. It was… just another mediocre motion ride. Really disappointing.
(Though they do still have the lunar rover that was scheduled to go up on Apollo 18 to gawk at while you’re in line.)
