I was wondering, if anyone else gets the same feeling I do on the way home from the park. It's weird, in the car I always feel like I'm on a coaster. I even hear people screaming in my head faintly, its really soothing I just sit back and relax. I live about 40-45 minutes away, and it lasts about 20 minutes then I feel normal. Am I crazy or do others feel this way at times?

I feel the same way. Usually leaving the park we're so hyped up and so excited and everything, but after a small while, i get tired, and usually curl up on the seat and fall asleep, that is, if I can sleep over my friend's blaring music (loveatfirstfright03.......)

It won't happen on the ride home, but when I'm laying down in my bed. Once I get settled it actually feels like I'm getting whipped around on a coaster for awhile.

Same thing happens after you've been in the ocean all day, it feels like waves are still hitting your body when they aren't.

For me, it happens when I go to bed, I dream about it. The ride home is more like... "God I'm tired!" :P
Finally Coaster Season!!

Yes, I have felt the same before. It was only once and I had hit just about every coaster. Usually, that doesn't happen, though.

Hrmm, I always feel like I'm on Batman on the ride home from the park, and if I go right to sleep, same thing there. Is bizarre :)

No matter what, when I crawl into bed after a day at the park, it's like I'm there.

Ussually i just feel really excited! If im with my family we usually go eat at Lonestar steakhouse and all i can do is talk about the day at great america! But in the nighttime its a whole nother story! I will be in bed and my body for some reason will feel like it is on a coaster or on giant drop or something! Its really irratating but cool at the sAME TIME.

I have felt the same way on the way home from GAm, but not for like 20 mins only like 5-10 mins. hopefully this won't happen when I'm driving home this season, it might make driving hard =(

Sorry for double post, but when ever your on V2 it doesnt matter how many times youve ridden it, cause ive been on it lots, but right before the launch do you feel really jumpy to get started, thats the way it is for me.

Yeah I feel like that on V2. Sometimes the launch feels really weak though, so I tend to get a little disappointed.

For me my stomach feels like im going down a drop again (im sure u all know the feeling) and i can hear the screaming and stuff untill we hit a highway, then i just pass out and go to sleep. Its kinda like going on a trampoline, if u jump a lot then when u stand still on flat ground (at least for me) i kind of feel like im on a trampoline and i was jumping, ok did that sound crazy to anyone else? lol :lol:
Next SFGAm trip: heck I know...

I have talked to my friends, who aren't even roller coaster enthusiasts about this sensation. It always happens to me when I fall asleep that night, and my friends agree. It's actually very cool... :lol:

For me it happens at both times (on the way home and sleeping) and the time in between those times as well. Roller coasters rock. :)

I always feel like that when I'm in the car. I once thought that my steering wheel was my raging bull harness one day after I rode rb alllll day.

and sometimes the road looks like a roller coaster track.

last night I fell asleep for a milisecond and thought I was on a rollercoaster that was taking me home.

I'm usually okay once I get out of the car though. once I'm in bed I'm fine.
