Enjoy those thrilling theme park rides without losing your lunch.

Step 1: Take motion sickness medication

Take an over-the-counter motion sickness medication, like Dramamine, at least an hour before you begin going on rides. But don’t take anything if you’re going to be behind the wheel, as these meds can cause drowsiness.

Step 2: Take some ginger

If you want a natural remedy, take a capsule or two of powdered ginger, available at health stores. Studies have shown ginger is effective in combating motion sickness.

Step 3: Stay hydrated

Sip water throughout the day. Being dehydrated increases your risk of ride-induced nausea and headaches.

Step 4: Don’t stuff yourself

Resist the urge to stuff yourself. Getting on a ride with a belly full of funnel cakes and corn dogs is just asking for it.

Step 5: Sit in the front

If you have a choice, always sit in the front of the ride. Your chances of getting nauseous are higher in the back.

Step 6: Avoid multiple motion

Avoid rides with multiple motions. Sitting in a cup that is twirling, tilting, rising, and descending—all while moving counterclockwise—is a recipe for disaster.

Step 7: Try pressure point bracelets

Try wearing pressure point bracelets; some people find them very effective. They’re available at drugstores.
