When was the last time you threw up during or after a roller coaster ride?
Personally, I have a problem where I get motion sickness frequently, whether it be while out on the sea or on a roller coaster. Throwing up, despite how gross it is, has become a part of visiting amusement parks to me. I can often handle coasters without puking if I ride them over time, and not over and over again. When I ride them over and over again, I get sick. Fortunately, I have learned to live with it. After I get sick, I get right back up and keep riding. I don't let it stop my day or my friends' day.
So, my question to you is - Do you still throw up on or after a roller coaster ride?

I never have and have never even felt sick - but the last time I was at CP, my hopefully soon-to-be girlfriend rode MF for the first time - she and the other girl we had with us rode mid-train, because I was a single I got to ride front seat, but when they got off, one was white and the other was green - they both had to sit down or they seriously were going to throw up ...
but of course after they returned to normal color they wanted to ride it again

I was riding Magnum last year during Millennium Mania. I was only on for 6 rides or so until I informed my riding partners (you know who you are!) that I really didn't feel good! I then jumped out of the train and ran down the exit, where I then leaned over the exit rail.
I'm half sure it was from
A: Riding over a wheel and
B: Not eating
I can't explain, however, why I got so sick on Blue Streak ;)

Considering I'm able to get back up and ride again even after I've gotten sick wouldn't make me a non-enthusiast -- If anything, it would make me more enthusiastic than most people since I'm willing to re-ride after that.
It's really hard to explain. I don't throw up every time I go to an amusement park. I throw up only if I ride coasters over and over, instead of walking around a bit to cool off before re-riding.

Walking? Cooling off? Whats that all about? I thought the whole point was to run full-tilt from line to line all day long until you can't walk anymore or they throw you out ;)
Julie, I've seen someone throw up on your "baby" at WoA before - it was quite disgusting ... especially since I sat in their seat right after. Then again, they were sittin there with hoses and disinfectant for 15 minutes, so I guess it was actually the cleanest seat on the ride!
