We did 5 or six rides in a row (20 min wait in line, between) with no problem whatsoever. And we ate when we first arrived at the park, before heading to Fury. And we did get the vibes on one of those rides. That was how we started the day. We aren't the youngest folks either. We did have a headache on the last Fury ride of the day. But that was caused by the headbanging from an earlier ride on Vortex.
But then I don't think I have much of a problem with motion sickness. The only time I can remember even getting a bit queasy was on 24 foot boat, on Lake Michigan. The waves got well over 10 feet, and it took a couple hours to get back to the marina. I didn't get sick, but felt really ill.
Fun story about motion sickness:
I was on a small turbo-prop plane that hit an amazing patch of turbulence near a thunderstorm. oh boy. This was long before 9/11. Back in those days, there was only a curtain separating the pilots from the passengers on those commuter flights. I was in the front row, right behind the curtains. We hit an air pocket and plane dropped in free fall for a few hundred feet before the wings regained lift. The plane momentarily pulled some heavy G forces when lift was regained. Every single person (besides me and the pilots) on the plane simultaneously puked at that point (plenty of people had already been getting sick for a while). There's nothing quite like the sound (and smell) of 20 people simultaneously losing their dinner. The pilots giggled for moment, and then got on the intercom to apologize again for the rough flight. But people don't expect a free fall like that on plane. But on Fury? That's the whole reason we stand in line for Fury! It's not a surprise like it was on the plane. If that's not something you can handle, when you know it is coming, I just don't know what you are doing riding it.
