Hey guys! I was just wondering about how intense Star Tours is now? No one in my family ever had a problem with the original, but I've heard some disturbing stories about people having motion sickness on the new one. Also, my mom is prone to migraines. Do you think the 3d might give her some trouble? Thanks guys!! :)
I had migraines during the original. Eating right before was a bad idea. Somehow, I don't get migraines on the update. It varies from person to person. So, maybe dramamine before just in case? - Starr

Yeah, everyone is different. I am just the opposite--no problems with the old, but I felt really nauseous and felt strange after the new version. I think it's the 3D. I should also mention that I'm prone to migraines and the only other ride I've gotten nauseous from is the tea cups. It was bad enough that I'm just not interested in riding it again, but Dramamine might work. Ginger is also supposed to help motion sickness. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 10:13PM
It's a lot smoother than what I remember but it might depend on where you go on your trip. Try to stay close to front and center as possible and you guys will be fine. Have fun! - djbreakdown

I'm prone to motion sickness, but can ride a this without much problem. Wouldn't do it twice in a row, however. Migraines I can't say, but would think it wouldn't be an issue. - Disneycrazymom

The ride actually seems smoother now than before. Unless you are the Rebel Spy and Darth Vader gets ahold of you, then there are no guarantees... - beltashazar

I always get a migrane on captain EO and on the muppets show in DCA but in star tours I haven't had one. - PRINC3SSL3AH

sitting at the end near the door helps. - toph

Funny, I used to get motion sickness all the time and now not so much, but I also try to stay hydrated. I can do Star Tours 3X in a row with no problems. This 3D is better than the Capt EO which still gives me a headache. Hope this helps - SUUZinOC

I know people who have gotten motion sickness on the new one but it was after riding it back to back to back. I am prone to migraines and I never got one from either. Although I believe my are triggered by food - KissDclown

I did a back to back last week and felt like vomiting. - CptKirk

I take Dramamine. Death star kills me! Ugh. - SueBayou

3d gives me migraines too, but doesn't last long enough to give me one while the muppets or bugs life that last longer do. I say try it once and see and if it's all good go again!! - akpoppins

For me, I never had problems with it before the refurb but now, i noticed it makes me a little natious :\ and nothing else makes me feel like that. - mochamistie

I usually never get motion sickness on rides, but the new Star Tours made me feel a little sick....it didn't bother my kids or hubby though. - alvarez415

Its TOO HOT sometimes inside...that kinda makes me sick...but other than that its ok. - Belony

Only ride in Disneyland that makes me get nauseas. At the end of the ride i just thought ... i waited 2hrs for this? So not worth it. IMO - ScarfGirl

I had trouble on the old one, but not the new version. And i ride the swinging gondolas on th WOD - lisacat
254.9 #984 9:35PM
This is one ride that makes me sick :( I can't handle the 3d and the motion. I even tried sitting by the door. I was on the center row right next to the door and I couldn't wait for it to be over! I had to go get a drink of sprite when it was over to calm my stomach down. - dhBelle04

I actually enjoyed the older version. It was a bit more jagged and bumpier. This new update is smoother. Not hating it but just comparing. - elmickeyman

Males me sick- - LaPearleNoir

So... You hate men? - Mouse4life 1086.2 #78 9:44PM
The older one never gave me problems but when I rode the updated star tours i became really nauseous, the rest of my family didn't experience any motion sickness, just depends on the person I guess. - Princessana08

Thanks for asking and all the great feedback. I've been wondering the same thing as my 9 year old gets terrible motion sickness but wants to go on it sooo bad. - bugsmom1208

I've heard that the third row is the pivot point and so will not make you as sick. But I still get sick and feel on the verge of a migraine after riding it. So now I avoid this ride. But the last time I also took the glasses off & that helped a lot. - Pintraderswife

If I start to feel dizzy on this ride, I just close my eyes and look down or away from the screen, that seems to help me. - kss4tink

Just don't do California Screamin' three times in a row. I found out the hard way that I shouldn't have done that. - ima-pirateswife

I've felt sick every time I've been on it. It depends on which sequence you get as to wether it's worth it. - LillyBelle
77.1 #3366 10:00PM
I get pretty sick on it if I ride it in the morning, especially after coffee. If I ride it in the evening (after a glass of wine or two) it's much better. 😃 - Cinderella-princess

Dramamine! I have to on ST or else it's bad news bears :X - Jacqueline
550.4 #208 10:01PM
Doesn't the Dramamine make you sleepy. I felt really sick the one time I rode it. Didn't have any trouble with the old ride. - kskating 378.8 #364 10:26PM
I'm pretty good when it comes to motion sickness and this one I was a bit shooken up afterwards. I say ride it, and if you get icky just close your eyes. Make sure you have water handy afterwards :) - AshleyLynn22

I didn't notice a major difference... - msdizmaui

I usually sit in front row because of scooters needing to go up the exit. You can keep you feet on the floor and I would never get sick. Since we always go with the scooter we never got to see the Que so the last time we went we got FPs and entered the regular que and were placed in the back row. My legs hung and I felt real sick. So it will always be front row for me from mow on. - ImAlwaysCrazy

My family never has a problem with motion sickness but we rode it one time after the upgrade and we all got nauseated! Sadly we haven't gone on again! - Littlecuppycake

For me, I think it depends which planets you visit during the ride. Some aren't as motion sickening compared to others. - SorcererD91
505.8 #235 10:23PM
Both of us carsick. - NurseDisney
29.2 #4488 10:24PM
I always get horrible motion sickness on it. It helps me if I eat crackers and drink water while I'm waiting in line. - vsalinas15
243.3 #1090 10:25PM
I heard about people not feeling well on this...so I stayed away from this ride...the first one I was ok...just sit in the back...I also didn't feel so hot in captain eo... - islandgirl58

I rode The new ST about a month ago, and felt motion sickness during it. My husband who never gets motion sickness, and is a thrill seeker, felt sick too :( I never felt that way on the old one - NurseKatey
325.5 #513 10:32PM
I think it all depends on where you sit. Front row you have more stability and your feet can touch the floor. Although you can still see the 3d its not the greatest in front row. Back row no stability. Im tall but my feet cant touch the floor. That's where I get sick. But the 3d is much better in the back row. - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.5 #171 10:50PM
Rode both old and new many times and never had a problem, until last week. Avoid the front row! - onceuponatime
