Motion Sickness

I'm just curious, is it just my imagination or is Skyhawk alot less likely to cause motion sickness. I know that everytime I ride any swinging ship or MaXair I get sick, so I was a little worried about Skyhawk. I rode it 5 times and never felt sick at all, is this true for other people as well? I have a friend going with to Cedar Point in a few weeks and really want her to ride Skyhawk, but she says she gets sick on swinging rides. I was just wondering if anybody ever felt sick on this ride.

I am very prone to motion sickness. Heck, even a couple successive rides on Raptor leaves me feeling a little "off". But, yes, I am able to marathon Skyhawk with no problems whatsoever.

Thanks, it's good to know it's not just me, and that maybe I can get my friend on there.

No, I'm sure there are plenty of people who share our affliction, though there will likely be less here, since its an enthusiast site.

I've used Dramamine before, and it seemed to work well for rides that usually leave me a tad light-headed. Although, taking it causes some drowsiness, though it was hard for me to notice on top of my other "medication".

Just a little advice for you - Try Ginger... In pill or tea. It seems to work VERY well. Even saw it on Mythbusters. It might help - Also Ginger Ale helps my kids a bunch when they fell "off".

we stop at the meijers in sandusky and buy some damamean..or how ever the hell you spell it...it works really well...but it does make you kinda drowsy..so drink some energy drinks or somehting...amp does the trick for me

Dramamine.

Though, I like your spelling better. :)

Personally, I've found that the drowsiness isn't bad at all. There is a bit of a relaxed feeling with it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - it makes me less fidgety in long lines. Also, there is a "Non-Drowsy" Dramamine, though I imagine the potentcy of the actual motion-sickness drug is lessened.

the drowsyness is the equivalent of being woken up by your parents to goto cedar poiint without your knowing...its a good drwsy

"Bonine" works great too. I haven't gotten drowzy from this (yet)

If you do - sneak into a show - air conditioning and a nap - then you're ready for more big rides...

It's suprising how much motion sickness can be aggrivated by dehydration. Be sure to drink more water during the day than you need to and it'll help more than you'd expect!

Found this to be interesting.

Woah. That's cool, weird, and kinda creepy all at the same time.

all u need to do if you start feelin off is go chill somewhere and fall asleep for bout 30 min or so

Like Screamin Eagle said, ginger is proven to work quite well. I've seen several studies that say it works as well as drugs like Dramamine, but without the side effects.
