Motion sickness at Chimelong Spaceship: what's rough and how to cope

Hengqin, Zhuhai, China · Chimelong Group · ~4.627M visitors (2024, industry estimate)

Chimelong Spaceship is an indoor mega-park built around large-format screens rather than coasters, which produces an unusual profile for motion-sensitive visitors: almost nothing here will throw you around, but the main attraction is a screen. Bermuda Storm is the world's largest seated motion-simulator platform, carrying 304 riders at a time in front of a giant curved screen. That is the single decision of the day. Everything else, including marine-life exhibits with more than 150,000 animals and the Deep Sea Submarine walkthrough, is climate controlled and still. The park opened in late 2023 and 2024 was its first full year, so the attraction lineup is still settling and worth checking on arrival.

The rides most likely to set you off

• Bermuda Storm: the world's largest seated motion-simulator platform (304 riders) in front of a giant curved screen.

Bermuda Storm is the one real motion exposure: a vast seated simulator platform moving against a giant curved screen, and screen scale is exactly what drives simulator sickness.

Where to reset between rides

When your stomach needs a break, head for Marine life exhibits (150,000+ animals) or Deep Sea Submarine themed walkthrough. Slow visuals, a fixed horizon and a seat that is not spinning give your inner ear time to settle before the next big ride.

Your survival plan for Chimelong Spaceship

1. 1

   Make Bermuda Storm a deliberate decision rather than a default; it is the park's only significant motion exposure.

2. 2

   If you ride it, sit centrally rather than at the platform edges, where screen distortion is strongest.

3. 3

   Do the marine-life exhibits first; they are the substance of the visit and cost your stomach nothing.

4. 4

   Use the Deep Sea Submarine walkthrough as a cool, still block in the middle of the day.

5. 5

   Because everything is indoors, step outside briefly if your head feels heavy; fresh air and a real horizon reset you faster than sitting under lights.

6. 6

   Keep earbuds in your pocket and run Dizzout at the first hint of queasiness; about 90 seconds of drug-free sound therapy is quicker than waiting it out.

7. 7

   The park is new, so check the current attraction list at the entrance rather than relying on older guides.

Going with kids

Climate-controlled and exhibit-heavy; motion exposure is mostly screen-based and optional.
