7 Dwarfs Mine Train and Vertigo

[Mendlyn]

My mother gets vertigo on rides that are too shaky. Has anyone had motion sickness or vertigo issues on the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train?

i get vertigo attacks and no issues on SDMT but from my own personal experience and others I know with vertigo, there are different things that set it off for each of us. For me its moving fast or flashing lights in an otherwise dark surrounding (I walked off of Space Mountain unsteady).

Many thanks! She has similar triggers so I think she'll be fine.

I developed vertigo between my last two disney trips, I was really nervous about some rides that I used to be able to do just fine with. I have always avoided spinning rides (since childhood) like Teacups and MS, I also avoided simulator rides like Startours. I was pretty nervous about RnRC and ToT so I took motion sickness pills before going to that park and was fine. Then I didn't take any the rest of the trip and rode EE, Soaring, TT, etc... all just fine.

PS. I have also always hated that spinning tunnel effect on Buzz, this time I just closed my eyes so it wouldn't trigger anything.

SDMT didn't bother me at all, I would say it's much tamer than even Big Thunder Mountain. Star Tours gets me every time though.

Oh yes, star tours is a killer for me too!!!!!! and aerosmiths rock n' roller coaster.

My mom also avoids the spinning stuff and anything dark like Space Mountain. She's good on simulator rides and BTM, so I think she'll do just fine on the Mine Train. This is all very helpful!

I have motion sickness and although I've had trouble with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, SDMT was not a problem at all. Also, on my last trip I got motion sickness patches from my doctor. I wore them for the whole trip and it really seemed to help.
