I have been hearing on several podcasts and message boards that Midway Mania's testing of a mockup is slowing the construction schedule - mainly because of testers getting motion during activity.
I don't know about everyone else - but I know that I get motion sick in the simulator rides (body wars, star tours, etc.) and I have heard that people get motion sick playing certain computer games or get headaches watching three-D movies. Well, it's a lot of physiology and science - but I think it has to do with how the brain processes what it sees while moving - not simply in front of it (like in a 3D movie). it's not the same as looking at the 3D environment around us because you can tell what is real and not - so in your mind it causes some confusion for the senses.
I know this thread might get moved. So be it - but I wanted to post that thought. I doubt they will get this corrected since it has to do with how humans interact with so much imagery and motion around it (well, maybe fighter pilots will be OK).
