'''Nausea''' is one of three Ratings given to a [[ride]] in the ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon (Series)|RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'' series of games, that gauges the overall enjoyability and quality of the ride. The Nausea rating is partially dependent on the [[Intensity]] rating, as well as on the type of ride and that ride's configuration. Nausea also increases the Nausea level of individual guests, and can cause them to vomit.
Guests decrease their nausea level over time. The decrease happens faster when seated on a bench. Guests with high nausea levels will think "I'm (very) sick" and tend to walk slower. When a guest is too nauseous, they will leave behind a puddle of puke. Vomitting decreases a guest's nausea by a considerable amount.

==Contributing Factors==
Line 5 ⟶ 11:
Some types of rides are predisposed to higher-than-usual Nausea ratings, simply due to the ride's design. While care can be taken to keep levels low, often it is very difficult to create an Exciting enough ride while simultaneously keeping Nausea at low levels.
Depending on what guests consume, the color of the puke puddle can vary.

*Ultra-Extreme: 12.80 and up
Unlike the [[Excitement]] rating, in which a higher level is better, or the [[Intensity]] rating were levels vary depending on the target audience, a low or nonexistent Nausea rating is preferable - the lower the rating, the better. This is very rarely a possibility, but there is no benefit and indeed there are many drawbacks to having rides with high or extreme Nausea ratings. Even moderately high ratings lead to increased path litter(vomit) and a decrease in ridership (some
==Uses==
The Nausea Rating can be used in conjunction with the [[Intensity]] Rating to identify and fix trouble spots on a ride, that cause needlessly high ratings and which reduce the [[Excitement]] of the ride. Nausea Ratings can also be used as a warning of increased path litter, making it easier to identify areas where [[Handyman|Handymen]] may need to patrol. Additionally, the rating can help in planning the locations of food Stalls, as nauseous guests typically avoid food and drink, as well as the placement of restrooms and benches.
