2 FOP ?x

[calitook]

#1 I generally have no problems with motion sickness. Soarin', Star Tours, no problem. Harry Potter/Forbidden Journey in California made me sick (have no idea if FL version is the same, haven't done Universal Orlando). I think since it has more VR elements, it messed with me. I didn't puke, but probably would have felt better if I would have. Should I take Dramamine for FOP?

#2 My hubs gets motion sickness and isn't even going to risk FOP. If he stands in line to keep me company is there a good place for him to ditch out? (Have Navi FPs for 9:40, and plan is to get in FOP line during 8 a.m. EMH, with absolute willingness to just abandon ship if it is too much of a cluster.)

Thank you!

#1- Rode it for the first time this week. I am prone to motion sickness for 3D or screen-type rides. I started taking Dramamine (natural non-drowsy formula) the morning we were headed to AK. I didn't have any motion sickness or upset stomach, but I did have a little bit of a headache after. I think that's more the issue for me on these rides as the same thing happened on Star Tours. Glad I went on FOP though.

#1 - I’m similar to you - fine with simulators like Star Tours but not with Forbidden Journey (or Mission Space). I’ve had no problems with FOP.

#2 - He can stay with you through the pre-shows and just exit through the ride chamber rather than riding.

Thank you both. We plan on having a cocktail or so at Nomad Lounge that afternoon and we're going to Raglan Road that night, and you really aren't supposed to mix booze and anti nausea meds. I think I'm going to risk it since I usually don't have problems.

I also bought some Motion Sickness gum that I found at CVS (Sea Band brand). It's just a natural ginger gum. You could have that with your drinks if need be. Great for settling a small stomach issue.

I get triggered by it, but I also get triggered by Star Tour, Mission Space, and that rollercoaster start of the move promo thing at the movie theaters. For me, my motion sickness messes with my head, so it kind of makes me wonky/dizzy. For FOP, I close my eyes when it does some of the very fast drop down soaring. Still totally worth it.
