Best Answer

Inside your inner ear there is a fluid in a small chamber. This fluid is what helps the brain balance. It's how you know when you're leaning to a side, or even upside down. While on a roller coaster the sharp turns and loops makes that liquid slosh around a lot. This sends mixed signals to the brain, and causes in some people a disorienting effect. However when you ride a lot of roller coasters this effect does not occur. That is because the brain has become accustom to the sensation and the signals it is receiving.
