How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?
I travel around and review roller coasters for a hobby, and one of the most important things that you can do is keep your head back in the seat. You won’t get a headache, which can lead to motion sickness. You should also try to sit closest as possible to the front as well because it will be worth the wait, and you have less of a chance of feeling nauseous. Many people advise that someone who suffers motion sickness should also take Dramamine, but I also recommend that you take that along with and Ibuprofen too. To ensure those work, take them at least an hour before riding the coasters. Another thing to remember is also to DRINK LOADS OF WATER! I cannot stress how important this is, especially after meals at the park. When the brain, senses that the stomach is full, it will send lots of blood to it, so you should drink lots of water to help you digest, and of set the acids in your stomach. You should wait at least an hour after eating as well. A few alternative things that I do myself
If you have motion sickness, then I advise you not to ride a roller coaster. But, you can try the motion-sickness tablets they sell at gas stations, and WalGreen type drugstores. I myself have used Nauzene in a dire situation and it actually took away my nausea. And it doesn’t taste like chalky-chemicals.
I get motions sickness too, mostly on spinning rides and on rollercoasters that I go on more then 3 times in a row..I take Dramamine, it’s cheap and you can purchase them in small containers so it’s easy to put it in your pocket and take it with you to the park. It doesn’t make me drowsy (I use the regular formula) but there is also a non-drowsy formula. You need to take it 1/2 hour to 1 hour before you hit the rides though for it to kick in – it works great for me, I’ll feel great all day no matter how many rides I go on. 😀 Good luck!
