How is FoP for someone prone to vertigo?

[GovieMom]

Is FoP a simulator attraction similar to Star Tours? Because the last time I rode that, it made me queazy. I would really love to experience FoP, but not if it's going to make me feel nauseous during or afterward. Any input would be helpful; thanks.

No, the experience is not like Star Tours. The similarities basically end in that you are looking a screen and wearing 3D goggles.

If you have questions I'd suggest booking your FP+ so it's the last attraction you do for the day so if you're not feeling well after you can go to sleep soon therafter and your whole day is not ruined.

One of my co-workers who has issues with vertigo went on it with me and she had to close her eyes and put her head down halfway through it. She can't even ride Soarin' so I didn't think she'd like it, but she wanted to go anyway.

I don't think it's anything like Star Tours, personally.

How significant is the 3D 'effect'. My daughter doesn't have problems with motion, etc.. but she seems to not do great with 3D glasses (for movies). I think TSMM and Star Tours she sometimes removes the glasses (even if things end up looking fuzzy). (is it possible to remove them mid ride on FoP?)

Depending on how quickly the person's physical response is, being that the movements are quick, I see potential issues.

I can get motion sickness from visuals (such a fast moving interactive video games) and although I could handle it, if the ride were any longer I would have probably come our feeling terrible.

Oh boy, that's what I was afraid of hearing. Glad I asked; forwarned is forearmed.
