To avoid motion sickness on high-intensity attractions in 2026, you should strictly avoid greasy, fried, and high-fat foods like burgers, fries, or deep-fried dough. These items are slow to digest and can "slosh" in the stomach, leading to nausea during inversions or sudden drops. Highly acidic foods (citrus juices, spicy salsas) and heavy dairy (milkshakes, ice cream) should also be avoided, as they can cause acid reflux when the body is subjected to high G-forces. Instead, opt for a "BRAT" style breakfast—bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast—or lean proteins like a chicken kabob. Drinking plenty of water is essential, but avoid "chugging" large amounts right before boarding. Experts also suggest saving "sweet treats" like soda or cotton candy for the end of the day, as the combination of sugar spikes and rapid motion is a common trigger for mid-day headaches and dizzy spells.
