I%26#39;ve beent to Vegas several time but never tried any of the rollercoaster type rides on the Strip. But, the last time I went on a waltzer I felt quite sick and wondered if anyone knew which ride would be least likely to produce this unfortunate effect?
least extreme 'extreme' ride?
a ';waltzer';? what%26#39;s that?
least extreme 'extreme' ride?
A waltzer is a fairground ride, like big tea cups that move round in circles and also spin on their axis - and can make you feel quite sick. Maybe it%26#39;s the spinning bit that%26#39;s the problem?
Basically there are 5 rides in Vegas.
Speed at the Sahara is a very fast but short roller coaster that has one loop along the way.
You loop the loop twice,once frontwards,the other backwards.
The other roller coaster is the Manhattan Express at New York New York.
This ride also has one loop,but is slower and longer than Speed.
Its also much more bumpier,rougher on our body than Speed.
Up at the Stratosphere you have 3 rides.
The high shot blasts you upwards,giving amazing views of Vegas.
X.Scream drops you over the edge of the tower a few times,but is quite tame really.
Insanity is the newest ride.
Its moves out from the tower,spinning you around at a good speed for a few minutes of real fun.
You wont want to do this one if you don%26#39;t like Waltzers.
High shot is probably your best bet.
Enjoy.
I have photo%26#39;s of all 5 rides,if you want to take a look.

aahh... lol- just came from an orlando thread that discussed differences between english and american words. haha
well, something that won%26#39;t get you sick... nothing on the strip spins like the teacups. the manhattan express is a rough ride so maybe not that one. maybe one of the rides atop the stratosphere? they don%26#39;t violently spin you- the biggest thrill is that they dangle you over the edge of the tower. too much excitement for me, imo! i would imagine that any ride in the adventuredome would make you puke your brains out, so stay away from there. and the coaster at sahara is basically just speed and one loop (i think) that takes you forward and then backwards on the same track. that one might be okay for you.
I love rollercoasters, but I am subject to motion sickness. I take an over-the-counter motion sickness remedy before I ride and that takes care of the problem.
Very many thanks for the %26#39;info - sounds like Speed, Hi-Shot or maybe X.Scream would be suitable(Insanity is a definite no-no!) - and hadn%26#39;t thought about motion sickness tablets, good idea that.
Big Shot is the most fun, and won%26#39;t make you sick or hand you over the edge of the tower
Try the KIDDIE Coaster at Circus Circus.
I get motion sickness pretty easily, but love the Big Shot. You won%26#39;t get sick on it, but if you%26#39;re afraid of heights, you%26#39;re in trouble.
Same with X-Scream. The IDEA of going on X-Scream is scarier than the ride itself.
