You didn't ask me, but I put mine on the night before we fly out (or the morning of) and replace every three days until we get home. The only side effect I really get is a a bit thirsty. I do know the side effects are legit for a lot of people though. For me, it's a lifesaver.
Thank very much.
Oh man these two LOL. I actually really like Forbidden Journey as a ride mechanism and the scenes with actual props are really cool, but if I go on it, I absolutely cannot open my eyes at all during the screen parts or else I am dead. I tried to ride Simpsons a few years ago and felt sick within about 30 seconds of the ride starting. That is one of the worst for me. I've found that if the ride vehicle is stationary it affects me worse than if it's moving. Like Spiderman at Universal is one of my favorite rides that I can do over and over, but that is loaded with screens. So weird lol.
Same! Those are the 2 that get me, no other issues on any other ride, and I love coasters. Did you take anything beforehand? I have my Sea Band thingies to get me through the others and will wear them on this for sure, to be safe (going in December, first time on Guardians).
I don’t understand, aren’t you missing out if you don’t look at the screens? Why ride it if you are looking down the whole time at the track?I usually get really motion sick on rides, even in the car if I'm riding in the back seat. I almost didn't go on GotG because going backwards on rides makes me super sick.
I had no issues on Guardians which I was surprised. The difference is that the ride is not free spinning. It is a controlled rotation that the ride uses to enhance the motion instead of "how many times can we spin you around" its, "how can we use the rotation of the vehicles to better serve the experience".
I sat in the front row. Instead of watching the screens, I watched the track in front of me and focused on moving with the rotations of the vehicle. The screens on the ride are meant to be environmental. They add to the ride but are not supposed to be watched.
I have now ridden twice without taking any medication/help at all and had no issues walking off the ride. I also ate a banana each time as we walked through the queue which helped my stomach feel less empty. My Spouse had to sit down afterwards because he was feeling sick and had been watching the screens.
Enjoy the ride! Be prepared and you'll be fine.
Now I’m worried. I’ve been on the Disney rides , no problem. Maybe I should pack something.
You miss some of the storyline if you aren’t watching the screens. I’ve been on it several times. And even when I try to watch the screens, I find myself looking at the track for what’s next.
I have worn Sea Bands each time I ride. No meds and it works by acupressure!
No, I was fine without anything! It really seemed more like a coaster than a simulator to me. And I had just eaten those pork skins and pimento cheese from F&W right before!
Right! How could it not be? I mean I love me some FOP, but Guardians is the bomb, and yes I know nobody says that anymore, but come on. Glad you could ride it. The way it pitches and turns it seems like it would be a terrible ride for someone with motion sickness.
I was terrified it would be. I was scared the first time, because I was so afraid of getting sick. When it slowed down I looked at my son and said “is that it? Is it over?” Not because I wanted it to end but because I was so happy I made it and wasn’t sick!! FOP and Star Tours are borderline for me even with the patch, so I am shocked and thrilled that this one doesn’t bother me.
I was able to successfully ride GOTG multiple times after taking Dramamine. I used the Ginger chewables and they worked well! No nausea on or after getting off.
Thanks for this. I have been debating and the video helped; it looks like something that will not go well for me. I think I'd have trouble with facing a different direction than the car is moving since I have trouble with backwards (which I know is also a part of the ride).
Haha, that's encouraging then!No, I was fine without anything! It really seemed more like a coaster than a simulator to me. And I had just eaten those pork skins and pimento cheese from F&W right before!
