Mad Tea Party : Story Behind the Photo

by Nick

This is me on the Mad Tea Party at Walt Disney World.

Such a tame ride, right? Then why do I look like I'm screaming for my life?

There was a time I could ride any ride. In fact, I used to seek out the most extreme rides. I had season passes to our local Six Flags. I'd go on road trips to coaster parks, such as Cedar Point in Ohio.

But over the last few years, as I approached and entered my 40's, more and more rides started to have an adverse effect on me. Spinning rides, such as the Tea Party were the first to hit me. Within the last couple of years, it's become traveling backwards, such as on Expedition Everest, the TTA, and the Monorail. Now, as of just recently, it's motion simulator rides such as Mission Space, and, to my great dismay, Star Tours!

Are there any rides you can't ride due to motion sickness?

These 3 photos have 2 things in common, my wife is in them, and I am not.
That's because my wife is enjoying the ride with family and friends, while I take pictures of the fun.
I've started suffering from motion sickness in the last few years, so now, I'm the photographer.

Have you become your groups official photographer/bag holder/sitter?
