verticalzero Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Do you eat before going on Roller Coasters, or wait till you have ridden the whole park and then eat some food..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Unless I am going on a topspin, I will eat before any ride, it doesn't bother me. Extreme spinning or flipping will cause me to yakk. Not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 If I don't eat I'll get sick very easy, so I eat plenty usually. I just try to avoid too much sweet stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krouvi Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 This is kind of wiered. I have motion sickness and so I must take travamine medecine to go to parks. However this medecine makes wanna eat all the time so I do eat but nothing too heavy though. Unlike what you think, people tend to get sick not because they ate beofre, but because of motion sickness. If the ride is too intense to you you will get sick anyway. However, if you eat beofre riding and get sick 100% you will puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 If I am starving, I will eat. If i'm not I won't. It's as simple as that. Â BTW, never eat Chinese food before going on Nitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I will eat before I ride coasters if I'm hungry. Eating food before I ride thrill rides doesn't bother me. I have never felt sick riding a thrill ride even if I ride one after eating a big sit down meal and drink a couple glasses of soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i eat greasy fries and fat burgers before coasters. The coasters, somehow, keep my acid reflux in check. I can eat food at parks that I could not eat anywhere else. Â Â \/ how could i forget the footlong chilidogs?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkchan Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I can eat a footlong chilidog, chili cheese fries, and a large milkshake. Then right after I eat I can get on a drop ride, topspin, a hilly coaster and not get sick or throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I only ride coasters and major thrill rides. Â For me personally it is better to eat before i enter the park. If i don't eat i tend to get a little sick. Â I do not ride spinning flats. Regardless of eating or not, they make me TOTALLY sick and ruin my whole day.

Joe Cool Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I can eat anything and I wont get sick at a theme park. But if im at a carnival and I eat I am screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well, in my case I have to say this: Â I'm like Elissa, not with spinning mouse rides, but with the Graviton rides. Those things hurt my chest immensely. Too much chest pain. Â But with other spinning flats like Top Spins. I've never been on them or S&S towers. I can't judge on those, I hope to get on those types of rides this summer in Germany. Â But I've been on the Shoot up and Drop down combo towers. They scare me alot, since I think their going to fly off the top of the tower. But they don't though! Â Roller Coasters don't effect me that much either. It's my Dad and Mom. Dad (Motion Sick) Mom (Height of the ride). Brother is just fine, he's like me. Ride-wise, he isn't on the coaster scene like me, he's more of a Celebrity Chaser.

s2pids2 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I eat before I go to the parks...becuase the parks are too expen$ive. I make an exception for Disney World though...it's all about the character breakfasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I usually eat when Im at an amusement park (Vidampark being an exceptation) because I get sick easier if Im hungry. And if I get sick I dont feel like eating and I will get even more hungry. But I never eat alot because riding coasters with a full stomach isnt fun either.

TwistedTrack Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I just dont like to eat before FreeFalls. It will keep me feeling sick for about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've got a strong stomach so eating before a ride doesn't bother me too much, unless it's really intense. Â I find that if I eat too much I get too tired. Too little and I feel really weak. So I take in a lot of carbs at a park in small doses to keep me awake and not tire me out.

lapseofreason Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I eat before I go in the morning, ride for about 4-5 hours, leave the park and get some lunch, then come back, walk around a little or go on a log ride or something, then ride till we decide to leave. I generally don't eat inside the park; the food usually sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I can eat a regular sized meal and ride coasters without problems. Once at Universal, I filled up on the Hard Rock Hotel's breakfast buffet and ate 3 platefulls of greasy food. My friend had the idea to ride Dueling Dragons all morning until the lines got long. After 5 rides, we collapsed in Baby Swap and begged for mercy! If we had gone on one more time, I'm sure I would have hurled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I ususually eat a normal amount. If I don't eat anything then I get a little sick sometimes. Â But since I HATE spinning rides, that's the only thing that would make me sick. And with that it's just a lasting headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 It's been so, so long since I've experienced eating and theme parks w/coasters, altho the DisneyParis visits are, well.... let's just say, it's been a long, long time.... And with the UK Tour coming up in June, I do need to find out how much I can cope with, re:parks, rides, food, walking, etc. Â Which is why I'm getting the season pass for this season at Playland, and 'testing' myself every weekend it's open, starting Easter Weekend (Apr.14). Unfortunately it won't be open daily until after the Tour has started, but weekends will do for now, heh heh. Â There's a Burger King on the way to the park, which I will walk to from my house, by the way. Takes me probably a half hour to walk there, and BK is just past the half-way point there. And if I'm too "out-of-it" by the day's end, there's an easy one-route back with the bus to take, lol. Â So - I may try a meal deal or something on my way to the park, then hope for the best, LOL. Â We'll see. Â I would like to try once in awhile, some of the 'stuff' offered right there at Playland, tho. There's a (local legend) White Spot onsite, which has/had great burgers and fries, tho (still) a touch pricy. But that'll get me ready for Theme Park overly-priced food, hmmm?

resonancej Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Only one did I get sick when I ate before a roller coaster...Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom (DW). That thing is rough as hell and slings you everwhere. Never again...I also got motion sick for the first time this weekend riding Fire on Dueling Dragons. I got off and felt dizzy and nauseous, I was not happy. Rode Ice twice, no problems, not even when they slam you thru that cobra roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 From what I understand, riding on an empty stomach = more stomach acid = greater chance of problems. I try to have something bland and not overfilling (a banana, for instance) shortly before entering a park. And I munch on crystallized ginger through the day - it really works against nausea.

Nrthwnd Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ^ That sounds great, the crystallized ginger idea. We love that stuff and have it around the house all the time. Â Worth a try. At Playland this season, they will have BreakDance and something they're calling The Gladiator which in photo looks like one of those swamp-boat 'like' flat rides. These are the two 'New AWESOME Rides' this year. What the flyer says, anyway. Â But - definitely want to try both of them, so will take a pack of ginger along and see what happens, lol.

Those pressure-point wristbands didn't work. Crystallized ginger did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
