I get motion sick pretty easy (looking at the Carousel makes me feel sick). I didn't have any issues at all on the Green side. DH pressured me into trying the orange side too. I was super nervous after so many others saying how sick it makes them. It wasn't bad at all for me. The initial take off made me a little dizzy and it felt like there was a lot of pressure on my chest, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Star Tours and Soarin gave me way more motion sickness. I had never rode either side before the refurb so I can't offer a comparison.
