Motion sickness on Toy Story Mania?

I hate TS because of the motion sickness I experience. I'm pretty sensitive though.
 
I can get car sick on almost anything, but on TSM I'm so focused I usually don't notice that I feel a little "off" until it's over, but sometimes I don't feel "off" at all. This is without motion sickness meds.

Most of the time, I try to take dramamine in the AM when I'm going on rides. The only ride I will pass on (at DLR, haven't been to WDW), even with meds, is Star Tours. I have only successfully ridden the ride once and I think it was because it was with someone that was so excited to ride and I didn't want to ruin it so I was super focused.
 
I get motion sick easy. I got very sick on Expedition Everest almost ruined the day. I went on toy story mania first time it whips you around it was like oh no i'm going to get sick if this continues and it does continue, but it is not really that bad I got a little light headed but nothing that slowed me down so you should be good.
 
My Mom gets motion sickness VERY easily and does not ride anything but the mildest of rides. The trip she went with us, she tried to chicken out and leave when we got to the front of TSM line , but the CM basically told her she would be fine and practically pushed her onto the ride (in a fun with a smile way of course). :rotfl2: The ride not only did not bother her at all, but she absolutely loved it! It was one of her favorites.
 

I get motion sick very easily, and haven't had any problems with TSMM, even without Dramamine.
 
The "spin" whips you into a 180 I believe, not a full 360. I did fine on TSM but did feel sick after Star Tours and just about died after Mission Space Orange.


Exactly what I was going to say.

It's only a half-circle spin, and then you are stopped for a while before the next half-circle spin.

The fact that (1) the spin is short and (2) there is a "recovery" period between each spin are why I think even those of us who get motion sickness easily can handle TSM without much problem.

I held a 7-month-old once, though, and for him it was a different story. He didn't like the spins at all.
 
I have HORRIBLE motion sickness that keeps me off many rides at Disney. Teacups would never be something I could do. I was super nervous after reading the motion sickness warning about TSM and then the CM taking our FP tickets told me it does bother her a bit. But I did it anyhow with no nausea meds that day and was completely fine. I didn't wear the 3D glasses the first ride because I was worried it might make it worse but went back on it a second time in a row and did the glasses and again no motion sickness at all.
 
I have a very sensitive stomach and get car sick if I happen to look down at my phone or read something for even a second.. the Toy Story Mania ride has never bothered my stomach at all or made me feel dizzy or queazy. It does spin you around a few times here and there but it's a very quick spin and not enough to make you feel sick. I think you will be absolutely fine!
 
I have vertigo from a TBI that I had 3 years ago. I attempted 7DMT and Slinky Dog Dash and did great on those. Avoided all other spinning type rides, roller coasters and 3D elements the whole trip. Attempted TSMM last night and have been sick ever since. There is at least one part that spins you 360 and if you start off riding backwards from the beginning you end up riding backwards at the end. I asked two different cast members if it spun a lot and also if it ride backwards a lot and both informed me no, so I attempted it. I have had vertigo with terrible nausea ever since and had to go back to the resort early last night. Today is our last day and I feel horrible. It is different for everyone but I wish I had headed the warnings from the list and avoided. 😣
