I was listening to a podcast recently where the attraction was being discussed. Someone leaked the fact that, when you encounter Darth Vader, the attraction feels like it is going backwards. (A Force push?) How does this sensation last?

From what I saw in the video, it seems like the sensation is seconds long, rather than minutes long (which is what I was worried about!) Obviously, the bigger than disconnect between the visuals and the motion, the more likely motion sickness is triggered. >>Personally I think the sensation of movement is not as bad as the original Star Tours.

While I will probably take some Dramamine prior to riding the first time, I prefer not to have to do so, and I used to ride the old ST without it. (Though I might take a few minutes' break afterward before heading on with the rest of my park day.)
