Went to Busch Gardens for a little while this afternoon to get some rides in, and ever since my last ride on Montu (front row), i've felt funky.

It may just be my stomach acting strange, but im not sure. I've been short of breath this evening and i feel just off, i dunno how to describe it. I almost feel like my brain is somewhere else, not totally into what im doing.

Anyone gotten this from a rollercoaster before?

EDIT: pics

I've felt weird after various rides before, but it always went away pretty fast. Maybe it's motion sickness?

You will be ok....just take a long rest to let your brain recoup. Ive done the same thing before. Kinda like your sitting along for the ride in your own body. Disassociation to everything. I think its just one of your hormones on overload. It will go away.

I got that feeling, once, when I stepped into one of those gyroscope-thingies at a local carnival. After 3 mins. or so of having a carnie spin and twist me about every which way, I felt somewhat nauseous and out-of-sorts. Feeling lasted about 4 hrs. or so, and it probably had to do with screwing up my internal balance. Not very pleasant, as I recall.

you're getting old. that was my summation when i went to magic mtn and felt gross after getting off of batman the ride.

of course that feeling went away after about an HOUR. last time i went i was fine the whole day thankfully.

your body just needs time to adjust after all the twists and turns you put it through.

Yeah, i've noticed i cant ride them over and over like i used to. We've been going about once a month for the past 4-5 months, so its probably taking its toll.

I've never gotten that from a ride, but it's happened to me after getting a big adrenaline rush on a few occasions. I don't like the feeling. It's not like being nauseous, but just shortness of breath, and a general feeling of being out of sorts. That's the best way I can describe it, but I think I know what you're experiencing.
