Slather on sunscreen
Reapply it at least three times daily, or even hourly if you’re on lots of water rides.
Dress appropriately
Don’t wear clothing with hoods or strings, which could get tangled on equipment. Tie back long hair.
Check ride safety
Skip attractions that don’t look well-maintained, creak or have worn safety straps. Also, be sure ride operators are paying attention.
Follow all rules
If you’re shorter – or taller – than the required height for a ride, don’t try to sneak on.
Don’t overeat
To avoid motion sickness, limit foods that are greasy, fatty, spicy or high in sugar. Wait about an hour after eating to get on big rides. Note: sitting at the front of roller coasters also can help with nausea. – Daily Press (Newport News, Virginia) / Tribune News Service
