I still say it has to be a drop-tower, even if it's underground. Freefall/weightlessness cannot be simulated in a virtual enviroment. It would also make sense for a ride sequence to be: take an elevator down "to the shuttle", shoot up as take-off, shoot down for weightlessness, rise up to simulate thrusters, and then you're at the space station. Get "beamed" back to Earth and then proceed to the gift shop.
