It's official...I'm old...

God I hope it was just the heat. It had been 4 years since I made it to a theme park so that could have played a part too...

She wants to go again in september, but I thought they were closed by then. Of course they'd be open around halloween on the weekends. Guess that would work.

i hope so too! haven't been lately, but i am just a bit older and looking forward to a trip sometime this year. The only coaster that made me a bit dizzy was "Batman".

As for when they are open, I believe its Labor Day till Memorial Day (which is in Sept)
 
I think your symptoms are more weather related. Last summer I went to Great America and felt sick after riding the Eagle. It was hot as hell and I also ate something before I rode the ride so the combination of the two made me queasy.
 
Yeah you're probably fine.

My dad rode coasters two days after having a major seizure at 49 yrs old and he was still fine. He's a crazy fuck though.
 
I'm thinking it is probably the heat, these things are designed to not fuck with you no matter what your age is as long as you are healthy.
 
Quit whining ya silly pup!
 
had to be the weather ...

I still don't have that ... I still stand first in line at whatever ...
 
i'm 18 nd i love the feel of rollorcoasters even though i shat myself once nearly when the ride stopped upside down for maintaince, fuckin bloood rushin to my head nd all.
 
As long as your motion sickness is limited to roller coasters you should be fine. If you start experiencing motion sickness when you're riding your girlfriend, then you have something to be concerned about. :hatsoff:
And this is coming from a guy who has to check his Depends after he walks down a flight of stairs? :D
Im 19 and my bf is 32 ! older the better, more experience and wisdom than most immature boys out there !

:confused: :wtf: :2offtopic
 
I feel your pain Legzman. I used to be able to ride coasters all day without any issues.

Now I have to take air sickness bags and toilet paper.
 
I am 40 and there is not a coaster that I will not ride.
 

Legzman

what the fuck you lookin at?
I suggest you stay away from those revolving tea cups also. I think those mess with people worse than rollercoasters.

Fuck those things. I can't do anything at all that spins like that.

Did you have beers before? Doesn't Six Flags have an adult beer garden?

It sounds like it was the heat...did you wait in a long line?

No beer not even the night before. We didn't wait in any lines. We bought the flash pass thing. Very well worth the money, I must say, especially with the heat!
 
Well, I'm older than you and I don't have a problem with roller coasters....but
I can't play games like DOOM anymore because they give me motion sickness...never had a problem in the past. Must have been because when I used to play DOOM, I did it on a 21" CRT which I was only sitting about 8 inches from....:1orglaugh





We went to Six Flags Great America yesterday. And I realized I can't handle roller coasters like I used to :weeping:

Maybe it was the heat, I dunno, I doubt it though. Every one of the coasters we went on fucked with my stomach a little. Nothing I couldn't handle. And a couple of em gave me a mild headache.

I grew up on these damn things and now I almost can't deal with em. I'm still perfectly fine with the drops, but other than that, I couldn't wait for the ride to be over so I could get back to stable ground...

This happened to anyone else as they get older? Or am I just uniquely fucked. My girlfriend was having the same problems.
