  1. i hold my breath. i think it helps a little.


  2. When it starts or when a drop or a loop comes, suck in your stomach. Trust me it works. (I get on everything now)

  3. Lol, theres no way of avoiding this. Its not 'adrenaline' and drinking Sprite or eating a banana wont stop it from happening.  Its something completley out of our control called " The 0-g Feeling" or "No gravity".

    On a roller coaster, you experience everything from 4-8 g's to zero g to negative g's. Zero g's means you are free-flying with no g pressure. Negative g's are when the ride pulls you down faster than you would fall. You will trying to "come up out of your seat. The really hard curves and dips can generate up to 8 gs in some coasters. This is usually when you are moving downward very fast and all of a sudden the direction changes to up and you feel yourself being pushed very hard into your seat. You may feel light headed.

    The high g's you experience on a roller coaster are very brief. Usually no more than a second or two. If that is sustained for a longer period of time, you can esperience some very negative effects. All that force pushing down can cause the blood to rush down to your feet. And away from your head. Your heart simply can't keep up. Eventually you will blackout. Your vision goes blurry, then you pass out. Even just a few minutes of time spent at very high g's can cause death.

  4. If I feel it coming on, I close my eyes and that helps.

  5. You get off! LOL

    Seriously--exhale!!!

  6. Drink a little "Sprite" before you get on.

  7. take a motion sickness pill at least a half hour before getting on a ride...2 just to be safe =)

  8. thats why you ride for that feeling. can't stop it

  9. Eat a banana before you ride, it works everytime.

  10. you can't, that's called "adrenaline".  i myself love that feeling.

  11. Try drinking water before or after the ride

    just don't think about it
