    Went on this ride and it is non stop spinning as you fly on the track. It is not for those prone to motion sickness. I don’t think I was prepared..but it was definitely a ride not easily forgotten.

    Great ride, can’t wait to ride it again.
    If you think you are gonna get sick don’t ride it.

    Hope the woman is feeling better and doesn’t decide to be like many other people and sue Disney World because of it later on. It seeks to happen more often that someone will have a MINOR issue and then decide that it was worse so they have to sue the parks for distress.

      I know what you mean. However, these people that are sue-happy should realize that warnings posted at various points within the queue line exist. They clearly state the nature and possible issues that any given ride can cause. And recommends that certain people with conditions SHOULD NOT ride.
      If these people chose to ignore these warnings and go on it anyways, then it’s at their own risk, and they shouldn’t be able to even bring a suit against the parks. I know it happens, but still. People are pathetic in that respect, always looking to place blame and make something off others.

    I can’t stop smiling on this ride! We rode it twice in a row with individual lightning lane and virtual queue. So fun and didn’t spin nearly as much as I was expecting it to.

      Trying for 15 minutes of fame so she can sue for mental distress (or for stupidity at not reading signs regarding motion sickness possible?))

    This is just another example of an overblown story. Ok, so this woman experienced something from the ride, causing her to feel sick. It happens, and there ARE warning signs all over for a reason. “This attraction may cause motion sickness or dizziness for some guests.” Those signs aren’t just decorations.
    The people sympathizing with her seemed to just be complaining of their own thoughts, not hers. And the “so many stairs” confusion person… Stop trying to figure it out, you’ll only get more confused.
    Seriously, people don’t pay any mind to posted possible ailments these rides might cause.

      I genuinely think it’s a fair question to ask why a ride that has all these signs up for dizziness and motion sickness would then have stairs at the end of the ride when the said people could be experiencing dizziness and motion sickness

      1. Jade VR

        This why they also have the elevator, as mentioned that the woman was taken down in. But, once again, they have the warnings there for a reason. People are aware of what to expect, if they bother to pay some attention.

    And the freeze frame of her struggling facial expression is her trying to pick up a child to sit with her in the wheelchair? 🤦🏻‍♀️

      Just another example of our “favorite source for information” trying to turn the story into something more than it is.
      The whole bit about the attraction continuing to operate, “after guest leaves in wheelchair” was just a other example. Yeah, one guest got dizzied. They made it sound like she was severely injured or something, which the ride should have closed due to it happening.

      poor pained expression supposed to show anguish? Don’t lift a big kid!

      1. Jade VR

        I dunno. You know those Magical Disney Hernias… They can be quite irritating and painful of not immediately sprinkled with pixie dust and soaked in salt water from Ariel’s Undersea Grotto. Or it could just be a bad case of gas.

    Edit: was just “another” example.
    Grammar Police should be satisfied now.
