How to avoid motion sickness at an amusement park?
We are going on a field trip to an amusement park for school, and i typically get sick at the parks. And i realllly dont want to have it happen. I have heard that dramamine works well, is that right? And is there any tricks or anything that i can do to avoid getting sick. (when i get motion sickness i typically get a bad headache,feel nauseous, and feel somewhat dizzy)

Dramamine is usually tarageted more for long car rides, not rollercoasters. I have the same problem and after lots of bad experience I stay off the crazy rides all together. If you DO decide to take a chance and ride them anyways then I would avoid eating anything an hour before you get on the rollercoasters, dont get overheated, take breaks inbetween rides so your body can re-adjust.. hope this helps!
dramamine would definitely help. the link below might help. it is too long for me to type it all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness#Treatment
Some things you can do to avoid motion sickness: don’t go past your limit, if you feel sick tell someone, don’t go on too many rides, and don’t eat too much or too little for breakfast. Dramamine might work well if you used it before, some medicines might not work and make it worse. Even if “it” happens you’ll feel better afterwards. Hope you have a good time!
