Funny you should say this. I do, too.

It is a centrifuge. Four of them. It's unique because it allows the pods to rotate on a second axis. See Joseph's picture higher up in this thread. It will simulate weightlessness.

It may *not* be actual weightlessness, but Disney knows plenty of tricks that'll fool the mind. It may suck. It may not. I have faith, though, that enough people have ridden a mock-up of what's being proposed to ensure its authenticity.
