> Here at the MacMillan Space Centre, we have a 30 seat SimEX Virtual
> Voyages Motion Simulator Ride.  And like all high cost, technology
> items, there's good and bad.
>
> On one hand, it cost an arm and a leg to purchase and install and it
> does keep our technical staff busy most of the time.  Parts and films
> are also expensive and it's questionable if having the ride as part of
> the overall experience at the Centre has increased our number of
> visitors.
>
> On the other hand, everyone who rides the ride loves it; there's no
> doubt there!  It's roughly a ten minute long experience with a preshow
> component followed by the ride itself. It's great fun to be able to add
> to bookings packages for school groups, birthday parties, overnight
> programs, etc. It only requires one or 2 staff members to run it at a
> time (depending on how busy it is) and training to operate the ride is
> not too difficult.  Our regular exhibit/floor staff run it with ease.
