0:00Yes, I have to do every ride without any
0:03motion sickness remedies. I have to do
0:05it once to just get a baseline. We have
0:08to do this in a scientific matter. Mhm.
0:13[Music]
0:15Like me and you're super excited for
0:18Epic Universe, but you're a little
0:20worried about how woozy those rides are
0:22going to make you, then this video is
0:24for you. Over the next four days, three
0:27days at Epic Universe, I am going to be
0:29trying every single ride Epic Universe
0:32and ranking it on how likely it is to
0:34make you sick. That's right. I get
0:37motion sickness. So, for context, I get
0:39motion sickness if I am trying to text
0:41on my phone while we my husband is
0:44driving around the city. So, that kind
0:45of gives you an idea of my motion
0:47sickness level. But what I'm also going
0:50to do is I'm going to test out several
0:52different motion sickness remedies as
0:55well to see what works. So, be sure to
0:58watch and save this video for your Epic
1:01Universe trip. I'm here with my friend
1:03Tony, who you're going to see a lot on
1:05this channel. Um,
1:08so Tony, here's the deal. I have to do
1:11every ride without any motion sickness
1:14remedies. I have to do it once to just
1:17get a baseline. We have to do this in a
1:19scientific matter. And so
1:23I hope you're okay riding next to me. I
1:25am. I'm a little nervous. No puking on
1:27me, please. I'll do pretty good. I went
1:29on a whale watching trip and they had
1:31rough seas. I wish I would have told us
1:33before they went out to the ocean. Um,
1:37but I didn't puke even though almost
1:40everyone on the boat was puking. I'm
1:41able to hold it. Okay, that's good.
1:43Okay, so we're going to test ride
1:44everything once without. Not necessary
1:47today. So, this is going to be a video I
1:48do over the next three days, and
1:53we will be testing out all the different
1:55remedies as well, and I got some fun
1:57ones to test out. So, be sure to follow
2:01along. First up, we're going to do
2:04Stardust Racers.
2:07And that one is has two different
2:11tracks, but we're going to do the nicer
2:13track with me just to make sure I'm
2:16okay. test out the other one. You will.
2:18We're going to test single rider, too.
2:20So, she'll have a chance. While we're
2:21waiting to get in and begin this very
2:24scientific test, I just want to remind
2:26everyone to book through our partners at
2:28Getaway. That's where we booked our trip
2:31through. We did pay for this trip all
2:32ourselves, but we are partners with
2:33them. So, when you book through us, we
2:35do get a little bit of a commission.
2:38However, you're going to save the most
2:40money when you book through them. They
2:41have discount tickets. They have amazing
2:44deals on hotels. and they're going to
2:46price monitor everything for you and
2:48they'll send you reminders about your
2:49trip and things that you might want to
2:50be doing. So, definitely be sure to
2:53check them out. We'll put the link down
2:54in the description or you can call 855
2:57Getaway and just tell them that the
3:00theme park tips gal sent you because
3:02that's how you're going to lock in any
3:03special deals that we have for our
3:06friends here on the theme park tips gal
3:07channel. We are entering control test
3:11one and that is for Stardust Racers.
3:15We're going to see how sick I get on it.
3:17Poor Tony riding next to me.
3:21Anyways, um I'm not super nervous for
3:24this. I do much better on open air ones,
3:27but that doesn't mean I won't get
3:29queasy.
3:33[Music]
3:43We just finished Stardust Racers. We
3:46were on the ride by what? 9 and off by
3:499:05. Like that's just rounding, too.
3:52Those aren't the exact times. 9:04.
3:55Yeah, we stopped at 4. Okay. So, motion
3:58sickness ranker for my control test. I
4:01would actually So, we're going to do one
4:03through five. Five is you better hope
4:06you don't barf. And one is yeah, you
4:08can. I would give this one a two as far
4:11as motion sickness on the yellow track.
4:13That's very important to know. But
4:16headache galore. Like you feel your
4:19brain rattle for sure. So, but it was
4:23awesome. I would definitely suggest
4:24giving it a try and if you're a little
4:26nervous, try one of the remedies I'm
4:28going to try out later. But I loved it.
4:32All right, we're in line for Harry
4:35Potter and Battle of the Ministry. This
4:37is going to be control test number two.
4:40So, we'll see how I do with my motion
4:42sickness on this ride. And um then later
4:47maybe I'll test it with one of my
4:48remedies. We will see. We are doing
4:51single rider so we will be split up.
4:55It's cuz she doesn't want to worry about
4:56me puking on her.
4:59Okay.
5:01Okay,
5:04so
5:10we are exiting now. Tony, we did single
5:14so it got split up and we have to book
5:16it to our dining reservation
5:21um at Atlantic but okay like outside
5:26back of course. Okay. So,
5:31I wrote it. I'm glad I did it once. I'll
5:34probably only ever do it once. It I I
5:38would rate this one a 3.5 out of five on
5:43our sickness scale. I was a little
5:45worried about that one. Yeah, it's got a
5:47lot of screens and for a lot of us that
5:49get motion sickness, that that makes it
5:52worse. And it's all different
5:53directions. It's like constantly moving.
5:57So, I'm going to give it a 3.5
6:01out of the five. Remember, five is
6:04you're most likely going to puke. So, it
6:07could it's going to take a lot to get a
6:09five. I'm thinking that Curse the
6:11Werewolf may get that one if I spin too
6:13much. This is going to seem like a weird
6:14one for me to add to this video, but we
6:16are control testing ride number three
6:20for my motion sickness ranking video.
6:23And we are doing Constellation Carouso.
6:27Yeah. So, the reason we're including
6:28this one is cuz carousels actually do
6:30tend to make people sick sometimes
6:31because you're going round and round.
6:33This one also though has the extra like
6:36movement on some of the um vehicles,
6:40some of the I don't know what else you
6:43call them like what you ride on animals
6:46but or whatever but um and that they are
6:49on two plates. So picture like the
6:52teacups or Mater's junkyard jamboree or
6:54alien swirling saucers if you're used to
6:56that in Walt Disney World where it can
6:58switch what one it's on and so it's
7:00going in other directions as well. So, I
7:02figure I will include this one in my
7:06um control test and if I feel like it is
7:09worthy of being ranked and then uh
7:14trying a remedy on, I will do that at on
7:16another ride. So, stay tuned. Hey, we
7:21are doing controlled path number
7:25four. So, I forgot to update uh the
7:29carousel constellation carousel. It's
7:32easy. It goes so slow that even with all
7:34the turning and stuff, it's a one. A one
7:37on our our scale. Remember, one is no
7:40problem. Five is you might need a barf
7:42bag. So, right now, we are in line for
7:46Minecart Madness. And I got to tell you,
7:48we are here during early entry. And is
7:51this ride supposed to be open during
7:52early entry? No. But we raced over here.
7:56I don't know why cuz I think I didn't
7:57realize it wasn't going to be open.
8:00But they are testing it and they said
8:03get in line and this is right at 9:00.
8:05They said get in line, stay in line
8:07because we're trying to get open early.
8:09This may never happen again. So I
8:11suggest if you're starting in this land,
8:14head over and try because they're moving
8:17us through, as you can see, pretty darn
8:19quickly and we've been watching team
8:21members go on the ride to test it. So
8:24hopefully this will work out in our
8:26favor. But if you don't want to chance
8:29it, you'll head to Mario Kart deck.
8:31That's the other one to get the long
8:32wait here. But Mario Kart has express
8:36pass, which is why we're here. So
8:40anyways, we're doing test number
8:43four. I don't anticipate this one to
8:46have any issues, but we will see.
8:54[Music]
9:05Hey, we just rode Minecart Madness and
9:09I'm giving it a
9:12two on the motion sickness scale just
9:14because it is very jerky. So, like I
9:17haven't eaten much this morning, so I
9:19kind of felt a little queasy from the
9:20jerkiness.
9:22Um, it's more like you're gonna maybe
9:25need your chiropractor after though. Um,
9:29but it was good if we sat in the front
9:31row thankfully because that has the best
9:32views. But yeah, that's my motion
9:34sickness rating. Like I don't think you
9:36necessarily need something for it, but
9:38it might make you feel a little queasy,
9:40but once you get off, it's good. So, all
9:43right. All right. We are doing monsters
9:46and chain. This is motion sickness
9:47control test number five or six. I don't
9:51know. I think five. So, we are heading
9:54in here for my control. Oh my gosh.
9:56While we're heading in,
9:58Tony did this via Single Rider yesterday
10:01and had to skip the pre-show. So, just
10:04know that if you're going to do Single
10:05Rider, you're going to miss that.
10:08But you will see. There's nothing to
10:11fear. Show them.
10:16Lower the lights quickly.
10:18No. No.
10:21These people are friends.
10:25Out a little bit because
10:28we had to we got stopped for a few
10:30moments. Um, not very far in. So, it did
10:33give me a minute to like let my stomach
10:35sell. I'm going to give this a little
10:37bit higher score than I think I should
10:39just because of that. So, I'm going to
10:42give it a three and a half out of five.
10:44Um,
10:46and I'm going to just say it's actually
10:48more scary. That's the bigger thing. But
10:50yeah, it it was kind of queasy, but
10:52again, once I got off, it kind of went
10:54away. It wasn't that bad. There's not 3D
10:57screens or anything like that. There are
10:59screens, but they're not 3D, and they
11:00blend really well. So, yeah, I'm giving
11:04this one a three and a half out of five.
11:06Remember, one is you don't have to
11:07worry. Five is have a barf bag.
11:11All right, friends. We are doing the
11:14most anticipated
11:17of
11:19the
11:21um motion sickness control tests.
11:25That is Curse of the Werewolf. I'm
11:29really nervous for this one. Thankfully,
11:32or maybe not thankfully, I don't know.
11:33It's a 55 minute wait and we decided to
11:35just do it because this is day two. Want
11:38to get it done
11:40and
11:42you know, which had to go for it. We
11:45were going to do single rider to try and
11:47cut down on the weight, but single rider
11:50line is closed. So, we're waiting the 55
11:52minutes, but wait, I was nervous about
11:54single rider cuz I'm like, what if I get
11:56next to someone that's like really
11:58wanting to
12:00spin it? And I mean, technically, we
12:02still could get people on the other side
12:05that want to spin it, you know?
12:08So anyways, oh, you changed out of your
12:11outfit, too. Oh, okay. So, now she looks
12:15kind of weird having all that makeup.
12:17I'm still bright and Frankenstein. Okay.
12:21Anyways,
12:23so this is the one I'm most nervous
12:26about. We'll see how it goes. So, I was
12:30paying attention and saw someone go
12:32through the single brighter light. So, I
12:33sent Tony down and sure enough, they had
12:36opened it. We were still like basically
12:38at the back of the line. So, I'm coming
12:40down to do single rider so I can just
12:43get this done and over with because
12:46I'm going to go back to the hotel for a
12:47bit. Try and prank Tony.
13:02I'll tell you.
13:07Just kidding.
13:11I was like, really? It didn't seem that
13:12bad.
13:16Oh my god, you're evil. Evil. Okay, but
13:20it did give me a little queasy. It's a
13:22really short ride though, so like I'm
13:25going to give it a four out of five. I
13:28honestly think people online had hyped
13:30it up that it was so bad that I was
13:33expecting way worse. Maybe that helped.
13:35And there's no screen, so that kind of
13:36helps. And the open air hitting for me
13:38that helps me not get a sick. So, I'm
13:41going to give it a four out of five. I
13:43know some people say five out of five,
13:44but I'm doing four out of five in my
13:46opinion. So, it's still worse than It is
13:49the worst one I've been on it. Well, I
13:51don't know. Actually, I don't remember
13:53what I gave Harry Potter in the ballot
13:55ministry. That one is going to have to
13:57be a four as well, if it's not already,
14:00if not 4.5. I think I think I'm moving
14:02Harry Potter up to a 4.5. If this was a
14:05four, that one's a 4.5.
14:08So, anyways, all right, let's go. I'm
14:11sweating my makeup off. Time to go back
14:13to the hotel for a bit.
14:15Come on. I know that.
14:18All right, friends. We're getting ready
14:19to go in Burke. The first thing we're
14:22doing, although I want to line up for
14:23two immediately, the first thing we're
14:26doing is Dragon Racer Rally because I
14:28need to do a control test on that
14:30because that's one that's a little
14:32maybe. So, because we won't have time to
14:34do that the second time. It does not
14:35offer express paths. I will also be
14:38testing out this um inhaler that is an
14:41herbal inhaler. So, if you start to feel
14:43motion sickness, you just smell it or it
14:45has where you can rub the oil on you as
14:47well. So, that's what I'll be testing
14:49out after. I will give you my rating
14:51before I do this and then I'll tell you
14:53how well this worked if and if I even
14:55needed it. I'm excited to see how this
14:57Yeah, I like this this one. All right,
14:59control test done. It's a very short
15:02ride. Yeah, I was like, is that really
15:04done? Is it over? Yeah, it's really
15:06short. However, I will say I tried to
15:08move my wings quite a bit. Did not do
15:10attempted barrel rolls or anything. But
15:12I will give it a two to two and a half
15:15depending on how much you do. I would
15:18say three because I did move mine a lot.
15:20I do feel kind of nauseous. Um because
15:22they're going a circle plus moving your
15:23thing and going up and down, but you can
15:26control it. So if you don't even want to
15:28move the wings, you don't have to. So
15:31that's why I'm giving it such a low
15:32thing. But I am still feeling a little
15:34nauseous. So we're going to get this
15:35out. We're going to see how it works.
15:37Can you hold this for me? Thank you. All
15:39right. So I'm going to do just smelling
15:41it first.
15:44Oh, I can smell it here. Like Vix vapor
15:47rub. Honestly, I didn't know Vix vapor
15:49rub could be a um
15:51an antidote.
15:54Not to be graphic, but they use them in
15:55the morg. Same idea. Vapor wrap. Oh,
15:57yeah. Yeah, that's true. And then if I
16:00want, I can get this off and kind of do
16:03some like
16:05points like you would with um
16:09essential oils. So, couldn't think of
16:12the word there. That's how tired I am
16:13from all these days. It's not really
16:16helping me with my motion sickness. I'm
16:18going to be honest. But it is helping my
16:20nose with the change in the climates. So
16:23maybe it's good for that. But if maybe
16:26test Vix Vapor Rub at home one time,
16:29like go on a car ride, be on your phone,
16:31test Vix Vapor Rub, see if it helps
16:33because then maybe it will work for you.
16:34But this one, nothing for my stomach. So
16:38thankfully I'm not super nauseous. I'm
16:40pretty sure I'll be fine. But now we're
16:42going to go do uh wing gliders. So we'll
16:45see.
16:54All right, we just finished Hiccup Swing
16:56Gliders. And for me on the motion
16:59sickness radio scale, it was a three. Um
17:02Tony got it right when she said why it
17:04was. You want to tell them? Because it
17:06does a lot of this and it's going really
17:07fast. Fast. It is fast. So, it was a
17:11three because of the tilts and stuff.
17:13Um, I don't get a chest a remedy on it
17:16because we tried to wait for it earlier
17:18so we could have the extra one. It went
17:20down. So, we used our express pass this
17:22time. So, we don't have an extra time to
17:24ride and the weight's pretty high. So,
17:26we will not be testing a remedy on it,
17:28but I'll still be testing other remedies
17:30today. So, it'll be in there. And we are
17:33doing
17:34Mario Kart. Yeah. I'm like, what's the
17:36name?
17:37But Mario Kart Bowser's challenge. Now,
17:40I did not do a control test on this ride
17:43because
17:45I've ridden it at California and it's
17:48the same ride, but I what did I gave it
17:543.5 or four? It's got screen 3D glasses,
17:58so it can make people pretty sick. I
18:00will be testing out.
18:03Do we want to do it? I think we should.
18:05We are going to test out my motion
18:07sickness band. That's an electronic one.
18:09It's like the knockoff of the relief
18:11band
18:13for this ride and see how it does. And
18:15I'll let you know if it helped. Couldn't
18:17finish video game cuz that moved quick.
18:20Um cuz we use express pass. But here is
18:23the one I am using is called Emma.
18:26And just so you know that tingly filling
18:28it sends up you, you're supposed to get
18:30that. That's what lets you know it's
18:32sending the currents and that it is
18:34working. Um, and it Yeah, this one I
18:38liked because you don't have to use
18:40conductor gel like you didn't Oh my
18:42gosh, my face looks so red cuz the
18:43reflection of the hat, but
18:47um, we're going to test it out right
18:49now. I have it on
18:51Oh, it's too high. No wonder I'm like,
18:53why is it so much? I had it on like
18:57three, but I want it on
18:59I'll start at one. And when I get on the
19:01ride, I'll probably move it up to two.
19:03But we'll see how this works.
19:06Ranking the my Emma Emma term
19:10uh band works so well. I would have
19:13probably given that one and a half. Wow.
19:16Out of five. I usually get pretty
19:19nauseous on that ride. So, it was great
19:22for me. Tony, on the other hand,
19:27it scared her so bad. I did not pee my
19:30pants before she tried. No, that was
19:31really close. Wait, now say it so people
19:34can see her face. I did not pee my
19:36pants. No, she didn't. Her uh she had
19:39her water bottle sling on and the water
19:42bottle came open in it basically. That's
19:45the short of the story. That's Yeah. Oh,
19:49we should do this first since five
19:50minutes. All right. Regular way, right?
19:52Regular. Yeah. All right. So, yeah, she
19:56didn't really, but it was kind of funny.
19:58So, we're about to do Stardust Racers.
20:00Now, I didn't really get motion sickness
20:02on that, but I did just eat and I had
20:06pizza and a rich brownie. So, I'm a
20:08little worried this time. So, I'm going
20:10to put a motion sickness patch on. You
20:13put these behind your ear and it's
20:14supposed to help. They have a very
20:16strong smell. Just so you know, that
20:18smell is ginger. That's supposed to help
20:19with your motion sickness. Plus, also,
20:22you know, it's supposed to be absorbed
20:24into your skin. So, I'm going to put it
20:25on now before we finish walking over
20:27there. So it has time to like get used
20:30cuz our line shouldn't be long cuz we
20:31have express pass. You put one behind
20:33each ear. I didn't know that cuz I don't
20:36really use these. But that's what you
20:39do. Tony explained to me. And now we're
20:42walking over. So hopefully
20:45hopefully I'll be good on this one. Tony
20:48wants to do green. I'm sure. So I think
20:51we may split up. I might still do yellow
20:54just cuz I don't think I want to try
20:55green.
20:58Um, having just eaten all that stuff.
21:01All right. So, Tony, was green more
21:03intense? Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I
21:06didn't feel like it was like this big
21:08difference. It was I liked it more, but
21:11yeah, I didn't feel like it was extreme
21:14difference, honestly. Okay, so this is
21:17what I'm going to say. I don't think I
21:19can rate these because my stomach is so
21:22full. I feel like I had too much food in
21:26it and a richness in it that affected
21:29how I felt.
21:32So, I'm not gonna rank these a yes or
21:34no.
21:36Um, but I will say I don't know how
21:39often I will do that again because it
21:42hurts my head so bad. Like, it just
21:43rattles your brain like none other. So,
21:48not sure if I'll do it again. Tony, it's
21:51time to test the glasses.
21:55I love it. I can't wait to see if this
21:57helps. Okay, so this is Curse of the
21:59Werewolf. These are the glasses that
22:02people talk about wearing in the car and
22:04stuff. So, since this felt like a queasy
22:07car ride to me, I want to see how well
22:09it works. So, that's what we're going to
22:12do. I looked like a goober.
22:15Whatever. The things I do for you guys.
22:19watching that. I could have Okay, we
22:22just got off Curse of the Werewolf. I
22:24wore that motion sick glasses and she
22:28spent the whole time laughing at me.
22:30Like, she just couldn't stop laughing
22:32the entire ride at how ridiculous I
22:34look. Here, let's turn this way so we
22:36don't get other people in her.
22:38But I made her wait till we got off the
22:40ride. I I again forgot to hit record.
22:43This has been my thing all all week. Um,
22:47so she already knows, but these were
22:49amazing.
22:51Amazing. No queasiness. Even though I'm
22:54still super full from lunch and
22:56everything we've been eating and then
22:57I've drank a lot of water. So sometimes,
22:59you know, when just after drinking a lot
23:00of water, it's like nothing. It was
23:03amazing. Now granted, I think I gave
23:05this one a two and a half or three
23:07before on my control test. Freaking
23:10awesome. That's amazing. I love it. You
23:13will look ridiculous. People laugh at
23:16you. people in line laughed at me, but
23:19it made it so I really really enjoyed
23:21that ride. So,
