How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?

I get motion sickness on rides, I'm going to Cedar Point tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to not feel sick to the stomach.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, is bring Pepto-Bismol, Tums will not work since they only help with intergestion. Also, if the park offers many flavors of Ice Cream, get a SMALL vanilla shake, which can also help your stomach due to the vanilla, and the milk will neutralize the acid too. If you are not into chemicals, buy some ginger and nibble on it slowly, or use pressure point bands.

For rides you should avoid MaXair, Chaos, Troika, and possibly Skyhawk, and anything that spins. Be cautious when riding wicked twister too, but don't avoid it. If you feel sick on any of these rides, close your eyes and think cozy and happy thoughts, becuase some of your issues may be psychosomatic.

I hope this all helps, and have fun and try not to worry about it!How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?
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.

:-D

Good luck!How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?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.How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?
Don't eat soon beforehand. I just went to SIx Flags, and what I did was eat a real light breakfast, then it was about an hour before we got onto any rides and I was okay.How can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?try pushing the blood to your head sounds weird but worksHow can you prevent motion sickness on Roller Coasters?
