If you're prone to motion sickness, some scenes that use virtual reality and synchronised motion may affect you. However, these parts of the experience last for ten minutes or less.To help prevent motion sickness, some people find that taking travel sickness tablets in advance or wearing a patch can make a difference. If you start feeling sick, closing your eyes often helps. You can also remove your headset, and one of our team members will assist you right away.
