Thanks for the insight!

I will now, thanks! quote="bert425"]have you tried motion sickness tabs - stickies behind the ear. Many use them on Cruises to help counteract Sea-sickness, and I'll bet they might help you out too.

Thanks!

I've loved theme parks and rides for more than 30 years. When my wife and I went to Disneyland for the first time in 1995 I knew nothing about it and just went on every ride without thinking about it. I had an amazing time and was immediately hooked. As time went on my inner ear began to rebel, and I've developed increasing sensitivity to motion and G-force. Example: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was my go-to easy ride when I'd overdone it on Space Mountain. Last time we went, I got severe motion sickness from it. I was heartbroken at the apparent deterioration of my middle ear and its impact on my theme park experience. Any others like me out there, and what do you do to combat this poopy sign of getting old.

Turns out it opened Jan. 30 at 3:30 p.m. We got 5 rides in two days. Forgot to post that day. Major bonus when you think one of your faves will be closed and they soft open. A good reminder to go over to the ride just to make sure. It still said 'closed' online and in the app.

That's what I figured, thanks! I'll report back once we get there if I get wind of soft open date.

Heading to Orlando Jan. 24 to 31 and I notice Splash Mountain is set to be down until Jan. 31. Should we bother trying to go on the 31st for the alleged opening date? Do they ever reopen early after these seasonal refurbs? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for bumping! As I get older I find my inner ear is less tolerant to Gs than even five years ago, so a formalized rating system would be extremely helpful.

That is 125 kinds of awesome

Thanks for the corrections... I'll adjust the story.

As someone who has motion sickness issues, I wanted to include ratings in that regard in my story on Disneyland. Let me know what you think of this approach, and my ratings. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/travel/Heading-to-Disneyland-Ride-guide-will-help-you-plan-112503799.html Thanks!

Settlement reached in wrongful death suit against Disneyland LOS ANGELES (AP) - The family of a woman who died two months after riding the ``Indiana Jones Adventure'' at Disneyland reached a settlement with The Walt Disney Co. in a wrongful death lawsuit. Lawyer Barry Novack, who represents the family, said a confidentiality agreement prevented him from disclosing the terms of the settlement reached on Dec. 29. Pretrial motions had been scheduled for Thursday. ``The case has been settled and the terms will not be disclosed,'' Rob Doughty, vice president of communications for Disneyland Resort said Thursday in a written statement. ``Safety always has been, and continues to be, our top priority,'' he said. Cristina Moreno, 23, of Barcelona, Spain, complained of a severe headache after getting off the ride in 2000. She was hospitalized the same evening after losing consciousness, according to the lawsuit. She died two months later from a brain aneurysm, the lawsuit states. Moreno, who had travelled to California on her honeymoon with her new husband, ran up more than US$1.3 million in medical expenses in Spain before she died in September 2000. The lawsuit alleged that Disney pushed the ``envelope to the extreme'' in designing the attraction, known for being fast, turbulent and combining the ups and downs of a roller coaster. Lawyers for Disney have maintained the attraction was safe, and that the woman's death was unrelated to the ride that opened in March 1995.

Two things did it for me... "This is where I go to cry." And, the recreation of the Elaine-dance... you can't buy that in a store!

/\ WEM offers a much more complete package of things to do... go for a skate on the NHL-sized rink, bungee-jump in the indoor pool... it's a no-brainer.

Very cool! And there's an embedded video in there of part of the pre-show...
