I've not tried it on rides, but once on a cruise I used Sea Bands. They were like magic. Maybe they would work on rides too.

I use Bonine which is less drowsy then Dramamine. Peppermint oil to inhale. Ginger chews work for some. I tried a relief band last trip (delivers a very mild shock to your wrist) that had helped me during pregnancy but didn't help at Disney

My son has always had terrible motion sickness. No boats, rides, etc. Not even a tire swing was tolerable when he was young and the only thing that worked, once he was older, was a Scopolamine patch prescribed by his physician.

I have mild motion sickness on a few rides. Some I just don't do but the ones I really want to do I chew the Gin Gins. I assume you could add that to Dramamine if you need something more.

Bonine. Whole family uses it just in case for Uni screen rides. Non-med ReliefBands work great for DD20. Expensive, but allows her to ride anything she wants. We bought direct, had a 2 week money back guarantee. She uses it on planes & long car rides too.

I second Scopolomine. I can't even swing on a swing. Well worth being able to do things without nausea. It does cause dry mouth and drowsiness at the outset but well worth it in my opinion.

Bonine, but now I use the patch behind the ear, Scopolamine for rides and if I'm am passenger in the car. Great for vertigo!

Scopolomine patch for me. Bonine worked well for DDs' when kids and teens, but oldest is moving to the Scopolomine patch too. Works perfect. I do have a dry mouth feeling, so drink a lot of water!

I use Bonine as an adult and it makes it possible for me to ride every ride. Without it my Disney experience would be very miserable.

Bonine tablet at night (makes me groggy) starting a few nights before. I also have the relief band. Works well on plane. Undecided if it is helping on rides. Getting old stinks!

Bonine for me too. GOTG is tough for me but much better with Bonine (and I make a special trip to Walgreen as I get in Orlando because we don't have it in Canada). Definitely worth the Uber trip!

I'll pile on and say Bonine as well. I take a preemptive dose early each park morning, only experience slight issues in certain parts of FoP etc and only really bothers me if I go on multiple times.

Scopolamine patch is the gold standard. I take Rugby brand of Meclizine (Bonine) 2x every day while at WDW. You can get this online or at most store pharmacies, kept behind the counter at about 1/10 the cost of the name brand

Relief band works on everything except backwards coasters (Everest, Hagrids) & constant spinny (tea cups). I have prescription ondansetron melts for when the relief band doesn't work.
