My husband suffers from motion sickness on boats, roller coasters, etc. Has anyone heard about sea sickness being a problem on the Eye?

No, but some people get air sick.

The wheel completes one rotation in about half an hour. You have to stare at it to even see that it is moving. First-time visitors expect it to spin round but it doesn't.

Don't worry a bit - there is no sensation of movement.

Excellent!!

My daughter gets motion sick in a car & I hate heights but the London eye was fine. It moves very slowly...sort of reminds me of those revolving restaurants that used to be around. Let him be the one with the camera & taking pictures will distract him. We bought the guide & it helped us identify what we were seeing in the distance. There are also benches in the car for sitting if he gets bothered. We were lucky when they snapped the photo of the car group. My son was front & center. Of course we had to buy a copy. It is one of our favorite souveniers.

Believe me, if you get all the WAY to London on a plane and you didn't get "air sick" then you won't get sick on the Eye which seems to move at a snail's pace, is totally stabilized, and affords wonderful views of the city.
This is not a roller coaster or a boat...reassure your husband that he will enjoy it.

My motion sickness even extends to floating restaurants - but had no trouble at all on the Eye - the views were amazing, and there was almost no feeling of movement at all.

My husband hates heights, and it took me two trips to London to get him to try it. He loved it! He had no problem at all with the height, and he is looking forward to going on it again in 2 weeks. I have problems with motion sickness sometimes, and it gave me no problem at all. As others have said, you really have no feeling of moving because it goes very slowly, and the views are unbeatable.
