The first time I rode the Simpsons Ride I felt a bit anxious in the pre-ride room with the video, but it is relatively short and sometimes they leave the outer door open. The ride itself was a little closed in until it lifted into the open area, but looking around at the vastness of the room can help with claustrophobia and motion sickness.When at Disney, the only ride that made me feel anxious was Mission Space because you were locked into such a small confining compartment. Soon I will be going to Universal Orlando, are there any rides I should avoid? Thanks
but you can't really move or lean forward to see other people or what's coming up.
Forbidden Journey straps you in pretty tightly with large shoulder harnesses and there are dividers between you and the person on either side of you. You're feet hang so you're not completely enclosed, but you can't really move or lean forward to see other people or what's coming up.
We`ve seen a few folks panic when those harnesses clicks....
I have to disagree on that point, you definitely can lean forward on Forbidden Journey, I'm practically hanging out of the bench whenever the flying bits happen, however I am just under 5'8" and a wee slip of a thing so I do have room to move about once under the restraints, I guess the tighter the restraints are once you're clamped in makes the possibility of doing what I do less easy.
Oooof, I forgot about the Hulk and FJ harnesses. If I don't think about them, I'm fine. Just sitting here on my couch thinking about them, I am squirming a bit.
They don't bother me much while the ride is going, but I always pray there won't be a stoppage.
Hulk is worse because you stop for the trains in front of you to unload; that part always starts my blood pressure rising, but I can usually distract myself enough to get through it.
