When this ride first opened, I loved it. But when I just recently rode it, it was way too rough and not at all fun. This ride isnt worth any wait. Ride only if there is no line and you are really immune to motion sickness.

This simulator wasnt very impressive, then again I wasnt expecting much from the beginning. It had a few unnecessary movements and was pretty boring.

This thing makes Star Tours look like Spidey. Its the second worst simulator Ive ever been on. The preshow is boring the story is boring even the themig wich Disney is usually so good with is boring. This thing (like most of this sad excuse for a theme park)is like a middle school science lesson that some magical fool put some evil spell on and brought it to life. Even if this rides a walk on I wouldnt bother with it. The only people I can imagine enjoying this thing is a really big fan of that old sci-fi flick Fantastic Journey or an uptight biology teacher who wants to tort...er..um educate her kids by dra..taking them to Epcot instead of one of the other high quality parks in the area.

This followed STAR TOURS in terms of major theme park simulator rides, and it was a dissapointment even then. Rode it on my last trip and the cabin got too hot and ended up giving most of us motion sickness ... but for no thrill or fun, juat a lot of aimless movements. Nice ride, considering EPCOT is limited on rides, but could really benefit from some re-imagining.

This was the first attraction (and my first simulator experience) that I rode at EPCOT back in 1993 and I really enjoyed it (of course, I was on motion sickness medicine). With each subsequent trip to Orlando, however, I came to like Body Wars less and less. As movie technology has advanced in all kinds of spectacular ways, it has left this old War horse looking a great deal less stellar. If youve ridden Universals "Back To The Future" simulator, too, Body Wars loses even more ground.

At one time, the queue for Body Wars was brimming with eager riders, now it is frequently a walk-on (in the off-season anyway). Body Wars clearly requires refurbishment. First, I would start by placing flat panel displays on all of the entry and exit doors at the sides of the simulator. This would allow for a peripheral vision experience which is not possible with the current configuration. Then I would shoot new film for the ride using up-to-date technologies like CGI. Images would then be projected on the front screen and all of the flat panel displays to provide a specatacular wrap-around experience. This would not be easy, but it would sure pack in the throngs. Oh, and I wouldnt make the motion of the simulator quite so extreme either--I really dont think that most riders want that--lets just go for a good dose of shared virtual reality.

Pod simulators like this cant compare with new simulators of today. This ride is kind of hidden and is not very exciting. Id rather mosey around in the building that harbors it than actually ride this ride.
