Which rides make you heave/puke?

[DLPdaft]

I was looking at cars race rally online, is it a bit like the tea cups?

First timer here! Actually looked like waltzers!!

I love tea cups but hate the waltzers! Bit nervous about cars now!! Ive no doubt my 5 yr old will insist tho!!

I don't like the waltzers, and if teacups get spinning loads, they can make me feel sick too. But I love the Cars rally ride - its similar to the teacups, but you can't spin them to make them go faster

the cars ride made me feel a bit queezy to be honest. you spin but then your car shifts tracks.

still have nightmares about riding Indiana Jones backwards

My legs wouldn't work after riding it backwards, never felt so sick in all my life. I am sooooooo glad they changed it to forwards again.

I don't see why you have such a problem with characters, you dont have to have a photo etc with them, i dont get how they can ruin someone's holiday.

When they are at the detriment of theme such as in putting Mickey in BBWWS, or get in the way of other entertainment like the Lucky Nugget being a character buffet instead of a western themed saloon with cancan dancers and bandits. Or stop the horsedrawn street car for several years because of the toon train.

Or when they theme every attraction in the pipeline to characters instead of emersive attractions such as Phantom Manor and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Well frankly, it annoys me greatly. The characters have their place, and they are a part of the whole, but when it is all about the characters, then they have lost their way.

And it also a business issue. For decades I have been criticised about my love of Disney, that it is for kids only. Well it never used to be. But more and more is being skewed to them at the detriment of the rounded offering for all the family that inspired Walt to build Disneyland.

Characters are great for you and your family. And I am happy for you. But what about in 10 - 15 years when your little one may not be as into it. What will be in it for you guys then? Or in 20-25 years, would she want to honeymoon there like people used to? If the emphasis is on characters at the detriment of everything else, then they are narrowing the market potential (or more importantly to me, the mission of the parks).

Let's put it another way. How would you feel if all of a sudden they ripped out parts of fantasyland to put in a Pulp Fiction (which is a Disney Property) themed restaurant? Or what is they made Auberge adult only? Or how about we pop a mega coaster down Main Street. Essentially there are simularities.

I like Ice Cream, but I don't want to it with every course. Do you see where I am coming from?

Bottom line - the Disney I grew up with inspired me to be who am today, and to learn many things that I have learnt. I am annoyed my children are not given the same chances.

Sadly I prefer it backwards. Forwards it is a dull coaster on virtually every level. Backwards, it is interesting.

I have only been on Space Mountain once and had to take copious amounts of paracetamol after had a very bad and felt ! I would compare it to a human food blender. I found R n R Coaster and Crush ok. Indiana Jones I found quite tame but a bit rattly (looked old and a bit rickety but maybe this was the theme anyway made me nervous) TOT was the most awful thing I have ever ever experienced.

To give you a baseline I get very sick on the VEA shuttle from CDG

this is what i have been wondering? is R'n'R a little tamer than space mountain. i didnt like SM, but i really want to try R'n'R! but im thinking it is quite like SM

think im jjust gonna have to give it ago

No offense but when i went WDW when i was 21 i didnt have a child and i was waiting to meet the characters etc, i love the character aspect. I don't think i will ever get old or bored from having a hug from Mickey or co. For me thats part of the magic.

I was older than you first time I went to any Disney park Emma, didn't have any children with me either. I agree with you here - I was there at the evening character bbq, with my paper placemat, gathering autographs and hugs from all the characters - it was a highlight of my trip . I still jump about all excited when I see a character unexpectedly at DLRP (my DD quite often rolls her eyes at me when I'm character-hugging).

Everyones entitled to their own opinions on the parks, of course . What makes one person happy and excited, may have a completely different effect on the next.

Indeed my wife is the same way. For me it was always trying to do things nobody has ever done before. Emersive theming. Attention to detail. A chance to actually learn something while having fun.

The way I feel would be so similar as if they took the characters away to put in a cool emersive show and eroding the characters all the time. It would be very similar. Would you be happy then?

I wouldn't, either, even though I have rarely seen the appeal of the characters.

I think age has a lot to do with it as well. I grew up in American family who were fans of the work of Walt Disney. Since Disney died, every 5 years later we have a dumbing down of their offers.

I am convinced that something of the scale of PotC would never be built by the Disney of today.

None, I love every single ride I have ever been on a Disney!

 

[luke7059]

The only ride that makes me feel ill is Star Tours , i'm fine on every other ride! I think it's because its a simulator and I'm not actually moving, i hate every second of it, I only go on it if the person I'm with is DESPERATE to go on and doesn't want to go on alone! I hate it!

 

[cap'njack.]

The only one I don't like is Indiana Jones, although I last when on it when it was backwards not forwards. It was horrible!!

 

[tinks_1989]

I love every ride except star tours i agree with every one i have been on plenty simulators but just this one makes me feel really sick the one in WDW im fine lol

and the tea cups with my cousin he insits on going on it until some one feels sick lol

OT I just wanted to say plenty of people still honeymoon in disney all over the world I wouldnt be paying $$$$$$'s to get married there

Star Tours made me so poorly I had to sit down for a while after it and I can only go in the tea cups if I take dd who is too young to understand you can spin it, if I go in with dh and ds I could throw up afterwards it's awful and just looking at Cars makes me feel sick !! I have done Space Mountain and that left my head a bit funny but I tend to wear my travel sick wrist bands for most of the holiday so end up with funny looks DH did ToT and I've never seen anyone look so ill when they've come off a ride, he was a bad, bad shade of grey/green
