Barforama. Motion simulators make me want to puke. It's getting worse as I get older too.

Disney Quest in Orlando. 5 stories of ultra-cool arcade gaming goodness done Disney style. They had an "Aladdin" VR ride where you basically climbed on a motorcyle type of thing, and put on a full-surround VR helmet. You then are flying around through a landscape, swooping up and down, sharp turns, etc. Great fun I'm sure -- 3 minutes, I'm sweating, and about to heave right there. Had to rip the helmet off -- sick the rest of the evening, had to lie down in the restaurant in Disney Quest for about 10 minute before I was only somewhat queasy.

Really blows.

I was there in October and know the exact ride you're talking about.  That one was broken at the time, though, as I could only circle to the left and got stuck in a corner.  The other VR rides, though, would have made you sick too, if that one did.  Especially the coaster builder.

Ginger root, maybe. Always seems to help me with sea sickness (one of the only things that can make me feel like I'm going to vomit). I've not heard of anyone using it for this kind of thing though (especially since I wasn't aware of the situation).
