What is the funny feeling in my stomach when i ride a roller coaster with a big drop?

Question

I get the feeling when I'm going down. Will i get this feeling if I ride the Medusa at Six Flags?

Answer 1

everyone gets that.

Answer 2

May be it can be due to the pressure

Answer 3

some coasters it makes you feel like ur free falling, the lift hill is the worst part to me (different subject all together), the one in New Jersey has a gentle drop but it goes racing through it, but medusa in vallejo you go prac. vertically down so you feel all weird. you get the same feeling when you ride Tony Hawk!!

Answer 4

Physics is the answer (and also anatomy). Your organs are basically suspended in your body. There isn't any bone structure or anything keeping them in place. They're all just mashed together in there. When you drop suddenly, your organs do lift a little and give you that feeling of weightlessness, mainly due to gravity and other physics principles. It's usually only for really sudden drops though.

Answer 5

Yeah everyone get that feeling because of gravity and you're

free falling

Answer 6

Yes, Medusa is a 150 foot drop and you will definitely get that feeling in your stomach. I don't get a drop feeling for roller coasters under 60 feet high. With Medusa, you will really feel a drop.

Answer 7

Yup, you'll get it. It's like in a car accident, your body actually "hits" three times-- first your skin, then your bones, then your organs. The feeling on a roller coaster with a big drop is the same; your organs are moving just a split second slower than the rest of your body.

Answer 8

butterflies. don't worry everyone gets it. you likely will. C'MON THOUGH! That's the best part! At klondike days there's this totally awesome ride called the rainbow and I get the butterflies and it feels awesome! If you ever go to klondike days you should totally go on it. It's near the entrance, it's tall and flashy:) it's so fun I went on it like twenty times!

Answer 9

everyone gets that

its like the mix of a really steep drop like just the effect on you body. plus almost a "cold" sweat. and adrenaline

Answer 10

yeah its the urine in your bladder that hits the top of the bladder when you go down heh heh. i get that felling too.
