I have difficulty standing for long periods or climbing stairs. Will I be okay?
The experience requires standing for between 20 and 30 minutes and ascending and descending stairs. If you anticipate having difficulty with standing for 30 minutes, upon arriving at the attraction, please advise one of our Entertainment Attraction Attendants, and they will accommodate you to the best of their ability, by providing a folding chair at certain points and minimizing the number of stairs you will have to climb or, if necessary, they will assist you in using our internal lift.
I am afraid of heights and suffer from motion sickness. Should I ride Odyssey Malta?
The Odyssey Malta experience is a gentle ride. Guests sit in chairlift-style seats and are elevated before a large, spherical screen. The visuals are enhanced by special effects, including wind and scents, to create the illusion of actually flying over the landscape. The experience is suitable for young children (must be 100cm tall) and seniors alike. Although most people don’t experience any issues with the motion or the elevation—even those who, at times, experience such difficulties—a very small percentage of the public may find it uncomfortable. The experience of vertigo is very person-dependent and therefore difficult to determine. Therefore, if you are particularly susceptible to motion sickness or fear of heights, you may wish to consider refraining from participating. . If you suffer from Acrophobia, you should not ride the flying theatre.
