Can you get rid of those "butterflies" in your stomach when you go down a fast incline or drop on a coaster???

Question

I want some help! Is there a cure?????

Answer 1

you can minimize the effect by looking at where you are going as if you are driving -- the anticipation helps your vestibular system anticipate the changes in direction

in a healthy person, the eyes over-ride the ears when signaling the brain about movement, balance and spatial orientation

Answer 2

In addition to the above answer, it will also go away as you get used to the drop. If you go on a coaster many times in a day, many days in a row, the feeling will subside, as your body has accept the dropping sensation as normal.

For me it isn't the dropping, its the climb. I'm deathly afraid of heights. I leave my stomach at the top of each coaster.

Answer 3

think that there is no more butterflies there and that u like the wind in your hair feeling up there on the ride. Riding a few more times also may reduce the "butterflies" in your stomach feeling.

Answer 4

keep your eyes open and your face forward, the brain will take the view in more better and it wont seem as bad as when your eyes are closed and you think the ride is as fast as your other senses are telling you
