![]() ![]() The problem with doctors is that they do not know what the ride specs are so they say roller coasters are safe but fail to understand that roller coasters are not the same. You can choose a park to check out G forces on rides in WDW parks. G force is 5 which is like me weighing 1400 pounds, ouch. ![]() Her DH is a good victim (I mean test subject) to trial rides and give an objective opinion. ![]() I would send my older DD on (but she is a ride wimp). My DH rode Mission Space Orange version and R&R and said they were 'nothing', so I would not use his opinion. ![]() I would suggest choosing your person carefully though. You may be able to arrange for one member of your party to check out the ride and give an opinion on whether it seems OK or not. If there are any you are concerned about, talk with the CM at the ride entrance. Star Tours at the Studio is quite rough, with a lot of changing direction, but probably little G forces. I don't know what the G forces are, but it seems like that might be a problem. While you are falling and then being pulled up, you have a certain amount of air time when your body and the elevator are moving at a little different speeds. The pulling up and dropping cycle repeats several times - just how many is random. your elevator drops at a faster than gravity speed and then is pulled up again. Tower of Terror at the Studio also has a high 'make you sick' factor. I got my tag from describing it ("It's like combining the teacups with a roller coaster" in red under my signature - thank you, Tag Fairy). It looks like a tame little roller coaster, but it also spins randomly. Primeval Whirl at AK is one that is deceptively rough. Probably not much in terms of G forces though. There are also a lot of times when your ride car is going slowly and then abruptly speeds up or turns in another direction - all with the possibility that you might be 'turned into dinosaur food' or 'crushed/burned' by an asteroid. R&R has drops and things, but it is a smooth ride (you are in a limo, after all, rushing to a concert).įor roughness, I would rate Dinosaur at AK as rougher and it also has a high scare factor (get the adrenalin going). I would not do the more intense (Orange version) it adds the whole ride spinning to the roughness, so it would have the same effect as the fair ride that Mary wrote about. MS (the green version that does not spin) is still very rough and it has the element of scaring you (don't want to give anything away, but there are some tense moments when your 'mission' is in danger. Of course, everyone's health concerns are different, but it might help you to double check one more time before you go.Ĭlick to expand.Both of them are very intense. Also, the intense (Orange) version of Mission Space produces high G-forces as well. We're going to double check before our next WDW trip, because more of her testing should be back by then. Nevertheless, I've been nervous about coasters that go upside down (like Rock n Roller Coaster) since that experience. The doc said it might be a result of the high G-forces produced by the ride, but he wasn't sure it was a problem with her heart per se, since that type of ride could make anyone sick like that. She's a complete thrill ride junkie, but on after this ride she felt dizzy and nauseous afterwards, and her heart rate was extremely high. Her cardiologist initially said that she didn't have any ride restrictions, but then we took her to the local county fair, where she went on that ride that spins so fast that you stick to the walls when the bottom falls out. My DD is being evaluated for heart problems as well (she also uses a wheelchair, but that's a completely different story). ![]()
