How does Expedition Everest compare motion sicknesswise?

[Memaw2Wm]

EE makes me sick ... I have to get a cola to sip on while I sit down and wait for my stomach to settle. I can't ride SM any more. BMTRR makes me a bit queasy, but I don't need to sit down and sip a soda afterwards ... I just can't ride it more than once a day.

I keep meaning to try Bonine to see if that would help with my motion sickness at Disney ... I love roller coasters.

I'd say it's a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, I'd say it's not as bad as space mountain because it doesn't have the same number of drops. Space Mountain gives you a series of those over the course of the ride and although none are really that big - you get several of them thrown at you one after another. EE is different, you have one backwards drop which gives you about 5 seconds that is far more intense than anything on space mountain but other than that, it's not bad with the remainder of the drops and spins more akin to what you'd have on BTMRR (but it's much smoother than BTMRR).

If you've done Space Mountain and recovered - give EE a try. It's a really great coaster and as I said, once you hit the part that is most likely to get you, the remainder is fairly standard.

I wonder which is more intense, EE or RnRC

EE is far more intense than SM or BTMRR.

FWIW--Bonine is the item I was thinking of. It is supposedly a "non-drowsy" medication, but I do think it makes me tired. OTOH, "tired" is much better than "I think I'm gonna hurl."

Going backwards on EE gets me every time. But it's worth it!

I think RnR is more intense, but RnR doesn't make me feel queasy like Everest.

Depends on how you define it. I think the most intense single element of either ride is the backwards part on EE. But RnRC has that start, a lot of speed and several loops and inversions during the entire ride. So I'd say EE for most intense moment, RnRC for overall experience.

Thanks. We actually haven't gone on either so good to know

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm thinking I probably shouldn't ride it, but I may still be too tempted when I'm there. Luckily my boyfriend is really nice and won't try to push me into anything I don't want to do. Since I haven't been to WDW before, I haven't ridden RnRC either, I had looked at it briefly and decided I don't want to ride that. For anyone that's been to both WDW and Disneyland, is it similar to California Screamin'? How do either RnRC or EE compare to California Screamin'?

About to go to Disney World for the first time, but I've been to Disneyland many times. I get motion sickness and I'm trying to figure out if I can handle certain rides. I'm wondering if you can tell me how Expedition Everest compares to other rides I've ridden before like Big Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain. I've never gotten sick on Big Thunder Mountain, but Space Mountain can make me a bit queasy sometimes. Can you tell me how Expedition Everest compares to these to and how likely you think it is to make me sick. Thanks!

I suffer with severe motion sickness.
The ride is quick and fast. I didn't suffer at all. There are times my tummy dropped. imagine it light thunder mountain just darker and quicker.
