Is it worth a visit if...

Speaking of these patches, do you have to have a prescription for them?

Yes, they are prescription, so that can be a pain.

They are over the counter in Canada...

OP, does any ride in front of a screen make you feel sick? Here are the rides at US/IOA that are completely or mostly in front of screens (I am sure I am going to forget some!): Spiderman, Kong, Forbidden Journey, Minions, Jimmy Fallon, Escape from Gringotts (although this is an indoor roller coaster, a lot of it is in front of a screen), Simpsons, and Transformers. I believe the new Fast and the Furious ride is mostly in front of screens too.

Personally, I am totally fine on some screen rides and not on others - from experience I have learned to stay away from Forbidden Journey and Simpsons.

That said - I would still highly suggest going especially if you have any interest at all in Harry Potter - Hogsmeade but especially Diagon Alley are amazing - rivaling in the level of detail and imagination anything Disney has done. There are also other rides - Men in Black (although there is a significant amount of spinning in this one - but the ride is real, no screens), ET and Mummy are some of our favorites. And everything in Seuss Land would be open to you - Trolley in the Sky, One Fish, Two Fish, Cat in the Hat and the Caroseussel. We also really like the show Poseidon's Fury - the story line is super cheesy but the special effects are really really cool. The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad is a decent show too.

Have you thought about sea bands for motion sickness? People think they’re just for sea sickness but look on amazon and check out the reviews. They can help motion sickness, morning sickness during pregnancy, and other conditions that cause nausea. I have a friend who uses them for spinning rides that totally mess her up but with the bands she’s good to go.

First of all, thanks again to all the very helpful info. I find it refreshing that so many of you are trying to help with a solution to my easily jostled inner ear. I do use sea bands for river cruises. I put them on a few days before and keep them on for a few days after, and I still suffer slightly.

With your encouragement, my DW and I will be going in early Nov. and she can ride anything. So she might test some of the possibly tamer rides. I wish that merely closing my eyes when I start to feel bad was all it took. But for some reason, it doesn't. My eyes clamped shut at the first falling in Star Tours and it was too late.

I will enjoy many of the things that have been so kindly suggested by you helpful people, and I am sure I will enjoy myself.

Thanks Again!
