This isn’t a list of things we think you should avoid, but rather we want you to think of it as things you should be aware of before you ride them.Given the growth of the AR/VR industry and the ever so powerful entertainment industry (no recession can slow down the need for Entertainment), it is safe to expect that theme park operators will rapidly adopt these technologies. This list is just some of the most frequent culprits and should be used as a general guide. Not everything on this list will make every person prone to motion sickness turn green.Īnd, there could easily be things that didn’t make this list that might make you feel a little “off”. Mission: Space, Flight of Passage, Star Tours, and Smugglers Run are all examples of attractions that use simulators.Īttractions that may make you motion sick at Disney World They typically involve an entire ride vehicle mimicking the motions on screen. Motion simulators – Simulators are a step above screens.Some people report that screens that utilize 3D technology are even worse for them than those that don’t and if that is you, you may find that removing the glasses may help if you start to feel ill on an attraction. Oftentimes with screens, your ride vehicle is moving while a scene is playing on a stationary screen. Even benign looking attractions (like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure) can cause motion sickness for people. Screens – Screens on attractions are far more common now than they’ve ever been.Roller coasters often have this type of motion. Tight turns – Tight, sustained turns are a similar motion to spinning and can often leave you feeling queasy.Spinning – A spinning ride is one of the most common motions that bother people.If you know what things bother you, you’ll be able to pinpoint and avoid the related attractions below: Here are some of the most common motions or situations that make people ill. I say you have to figure out what works best for you. Others say you should only do them with a full stomach. Some people swear by not eating before attractions that make them sick. This is another thing that is truly trial and error for most people. There are ginger candies and ginger pills and the ever-popular ginger ale, but, even though ginger is “natural”, before you load up on it, you should still talk to your doctor. Ginger-based products are another popular choice for people with sensitive stomachs. I definitely fall into the “it can’t hurt to try it” category. There are things like nonprescription wristbands (Sea Bands) that are popular choices for people trying to avoid motion sickness. That means you’ll need to start taking it before you set foot on your first attraction. If you know that every time you get in a car you get car sick, make sure you don’t wait until you arrive at Disney World to realize that you should have packed your medicine.Īnd, I might also add, most medications for motion sickness work the best if taken BEFORE you are actually feeling rough. Bring medications with you (so you aren’t scrambling trying to buy some when you are there) and start taking it at least the day before your first planned theme park day. Go with whatever your doctor and you think is the best option for your situation. But Big Thunder Mountain – a coaster with no inversions or steep hills – makes me feel horribly queasy every time I ride it.Īnd, I have never felt more ill after an attraction than I did after my one and only ride on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, yet I know lots of people that are prone to motion sickness that were able to ride it with no problem at all! But, not everybody gets ill on the same things.įor example, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster bothers me the least out of all the coasters at Disney World. Yes, there are some attractions that are on nearly every person’s list of “things that may make you puke”.
