7. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

Much like its younger sibling over in Universal Studios, Transformers, this ride also sees a car physically move through a variety of scenes that are created using both practical effects and screens - 3D glasses are also used on this attraction. 

8. Storm Force Accelatron

This one is fairly self explanatory as it's a teacup spinner attraction akin to Mad Tea Party over in Walt Disney World. If constant spinning isn’t your thing, you’re best to avoid. 

9. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

Unfortunately, this ride’s incredibly unique dark-ride-hybrid format doesn’t save it from its numerous sickness complaints. Riders board a ‘bench’ held up by a robotic arm which then travels through a variety of practical sets and domed screens, twirling and swirling. (However, this ride boasts another fantastically themed queue so take the time to gander at Hogwarts castle and then simply exit before riding.)

ALSO WORTH NOTING: The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Velocicoaster & Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure

Similarly to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, these three are Islands of Adventure's most intense coasters. Hulk features 7 inversions, while Velocicoaster features 4, though the latter is generally considered to be an overall more intense experience. Hagrid’s does not feature any inversions and is considerably less intense, although it does include a variety of twists and turns as well as a backwards sequence and a 17-foot drop track.

Do you suffer from motion sickness? If so, which rides do you tend to avoid at all costs?
