Hmmmm, I went on this in 1992 (or was it 1991?) I don't remember having
to put my purse anywhere but in my lap.

I don't remember my hair getting messed up at all. I'm sure I would have
remembered something like that.

I remember the ride did have some good motion to it, but not enough to
cause injury or dislodge anybody's private parts. :) I do remember them
announcing that if you were pregnant or suffered from motion discomfort
then you should not ride.
It was a very fun ride, definitely worth $25 to do it once, but I dunno
if I would do it again just to do it again. The ride did have a very
unexpected ending, which I will not give away, and I spotted a blooper
in the film. :)
Prior to the ride, there's a very extensive exhibit of ST paraphernalia
and memorabilia. I never realized there were that many models of
phasers. :) Although I'm not a hardcore trekkie, I was not at all bored.
The couple I went with was more into it than I was, so I just kinda kept
pace with them.
When we went there, there was no line to speak of except right before
the ride itself, where they would queue up the next so many people for
each session of the ride. IIRC this was in the afternoon of a weekday,
maybe Tuesday.
At the end, you come out by a bar and a gift shop. I bought a video of
"Mirror Mirror", my fave ST episode. :) I also remember a very high
pressure salesdroid creature there pushing some credit card scam or
something.
