You've just stepped off Space Mountain, heart still racing, but now the world won't stop spinning. That queasy, dizzy feeling after roller coasters affects 10% to 20% of thrill-seekers—but it doesn't have to ruin your day at the park.
If you love the thrill of roller coasters but hate feeling sick afterward, you're not alone. The good news? There are simple ways to prevent and treat that post-ride dizziness so you can enjoy every minute of your theme park adventure.
Your body has a built-in balance system in your inner ear. When you're on a roller coaster, this system gets confused by all the spinning, dropping, and sudden turns. Your brain receives mixed signals from your eyes, ears, and body—and that's when dizziness hits.
Here's what happens step by step:
The faster and more intense the ride, the worse these symptoms can be. Elevation changes make it even worse—your body thinks it's falling and releases stress hormones that can make you feel sick.
Dizziness occurs when you feel off-balance, often caused by confusion between your sensory organs, such as your eyes and ears. Extreme dizziness can lead to fainting spells.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that dizziness isn’t a sickness in itself. Instead, it’s often a manifestation of different ailments (Gabbey & Klein, 2022).
Most people feel dizzy for 5-15 minutes after getting off a ride. However, some people may feel off-balance for up to an hour. The duration depends on:
Cancer survivors and people recovering from illness often experience longer-lasting symptoms because their bodies are already working harder to stay balanced.
Roller coasters are fun and exciting, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it can be a real downer. Here are the things you should do before, during, and after your next roller coaster ride to make it a fun one:
Sit in the middle of the roller coaster, not the front or back. The middle cars move less and feel more stable. This simple trick can cut your motion sickness symptoms in half.
Look straight ahead at a fixed point on the horizon. Don't look down or to the sides. Press your head firmly against the back of your seat to reduce head movement.
Have a small snack 1-2 hours before riding, but avoid:
Good pre-ride snacks include bananas, crackers, or toast.
Ginger is one of the best natural nausea remedies. It works by calming your stomach and blocking the brain signals that cause sickness. You can use:

Tight clothing can make nausea worse by putting pressure on your stomach. Choose breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes for walking around the park.
Drink small sips of water throughout the day. Dehydration makes dizziness worse, but drinking too much right before a ride can upset your stomach.
Take slow, deep breaths before and during the ride. This helps calm your nervous system and reduces anxiety that can make motion sickness worse.
Already feeling dizzy? Here are fast-acting home remedies that work:
Step outside or find a well-ventilated area. Fresh air helps reset your body's balance system and can stop nausea quickly.
Sit down with your feet flat on the ground. This helps your brain understand that you're stable and not moving anymore.
Room temperature water or flat ginger ale can help settle your stomach. Avoid anything fizzy or too cold.
Press firmly on the P6 pressure point on your wrist (about 3 finger-widths below your palm). Hold for 2 minutes on each wrist.
Most motion sickness medicines make you drowsy—not ideal when you want to enjoy more rides. Anti-Na chews offer a better solution because they:
Anti-na contain 2 grams of standardized ginger extract—the same amount used in clinical studies for motion sickness. Plus, the added Bioenergy Ribose helps restore energy that motion sickness drains from your body.
If you've had chemotherapy or radiation, your body may be more sensitive to motion. Start with gentler rides and always have natural nausea relief on hand. The fatigue from treatment can make motion sickness symptoms last longer.
Morning sickness can make roller coaster nausea much worse. Stick to mild rides and bring ginger chews for quick relief. Always check with your doctor before riding any intense attractions.
Don't start with the biggest, scariest ride. Work your way up to more intense attractions so your body can adjust gradually.
A: Natural remedies like ginger work just as well without making you sleepy. Save the heavy medications for longer trips like boat rides or flights.
A: Choose a middle seat for the smoothest ride. Avoid the very front (too much visual stimulation) and the very back (whips around more).
A: Yes! With the right preparation and natural remedies, most people can enjoy rides without feeling sick.
A: Studies show 1-2 grams of ginger extract works best. That's about what you'll find in 2-3 Anti-Na chews.
