Some people are just very sensitive to motion sickness. My wife’s entire family is very sensitive. Right after we got married we went on a ski trip. I knew if I was not driving I would be in the back seat. I brought a book and they were all horrified at the thought of reading a book in the back seat. They said I could not do that and I thought they had some family rule about reading. They just knew I would get sick while reading a book in the back seat while going through the mountain passes. I did not have a problem at all.

At Disney World they have a fantastic ride called Mission to Mars. I would love to see how it works. All I know is it is amazing to feel the gee forces. It was a lot of fun. My wife would not even go into the building. She had heard how it makes some people get sick that love all the other rides.

Mythbusters did a good episode about motion sickness. Ginger seems to be a very good way to beat it. All of the wrist bands and other non medicinal things were useless.
