I feel that it was the backwards motion and there are some faster drops/curves. For me sometimes my balance issues depend on the day - hot weather, lack of sleep a head cold -- all will make my symptoms worse. I dread the day i get pulled over and ever have to do a sobriety test -- I would NEVER drink and drive, but with that said even on a good day i lose my balance at times.What about Everest bothered you? Was it the backwards part? RnR I won't do anyway, due to neck issues.

I might pre medicate with some meclezine (?sp) something non drowsy so that i may limit any effect of these rides.
Do whatever you gotta do to get through it, this is a must do at all costs lol. FoP gives me goosebumps. It is a very smooth ride, not jerky at all. The 3D glasses and screen may bother you, though.I'm even shaky after SDMT and I cant even watch my daughter on the Teacups!
Now, we have FP for FOP first thing Saturday AM and I still haven't decided if I'm going to try it or not. I obviously WANT to, but don't want to ruin the remainder of the day ( I dont bounce back as quick as I used to).
Right now I'm leaning towards popping a Dramamine an hour before and hoping for the best...hahaha! Anyone tried this approach?
Yup - I did vestibular therapy. I'm not 100% "cured" - I still have troubles more than most folks - but I can tolerate SO much more now. IMAX movies would make me sick before PT!I guess this is what I was looking for. Exactly, best way to describe it, thank you!
Did you have any ear issues that led to your difficulty? Is this the vestibular therapy?

The "banshee" you are on moves some in relation to the HUGE movie screen in front of you. I find that I can't cope when the "flight" of your banshee gets super fast - I have to close my eyes during those parts. But with the wind, music, movement of the banshee you are sitting on, and the movie - all of my brain/ears/eyes can make sense of most of this and I don't get sick. Now - I've probably missed 20-25% of the movie because of closing my eyes.Does closing your eyes solve the problem? Is the screen moving mostly or the chair, etc? Never been on anything like that.
I found Everest bothered me. I have inner ear balance issues and can handle most roller coasters but found i was a little wobbly after Everest. It could have also been that it was the last day of our trip after numerous long days and the heat. RnR is another one. Otherwise i think most other rides are tame compared to say universal.
