If you're someone bothered by motion sickness, can you do this ride? DD and I love this ride, and up until now, DH has always sat out with DS. Well, now DS (he's 4) thinks he wants to ride it. I'm not entirely sure he won't chicken out when we get there and need to use the chicken elevator. My question is regarding my husband. Some rides bother him - others don't. He rides BTMR, Splash Mountain, Dinosaur, Kali River, Test Track - but can't handle Space Mountain, Star Tours, and actually has never attempted RNRC or Mission Space (must say, this one bothers me too).
So, if my DS chickens out, no big deal, DH can use the chicken elevator with him. But, if he still wants to do it, we're not sure if DH should attempt it or not. This will be our first ride of the day, and I don't want him to be sick the rest of the day.
And what do you guys think the probability of my DS going through with it are? Height-wise, he's more than there - he was tall enough at 3, but we didn't even give him the option then. He will be 4 1/2 on this trip - loves thrill rides, no problem with Splash, BTMR, Test Track, Kali River - loves water parks, we go often and he loves the big slides. But he's a little timid, and I'm afraid of the theming making him nervous. DD rode it at 4 with no problems, but she's not afraid of a thing! He's just a little more timid than her. And I'm not sure if he really understands what the ride is going to do. Don't want him freaked out for the rest of the day either! But he really thinks he wants to do it, and I don't want him getting mad and being a pain if I say no.
Also - just wanted to add - dark rides don't seem to bother him to much. He's fine in Haunted Mansion, although he will snuggle pretty close to me.
So, do we let Dad and little brother share in our "girl time" together
or do we send them off to see the characters?

Just curious. I have never heard of the chicken elevator. Is this a way to experience the ride (the story, special effects, etc.), but not have to experience the terrifying (sp?) drop? Please educate me!
