Is it an age thing

[mike4scuba]

Over the last 15 years we have loved all rides but there seems to have come a time where rides like the Hulk and similar rides tend to throw your head around to much
Anyone else find this to be the case

[Loobylou_82]

Yes, me and DH. It has got to the point where I will only go on the roller coasters I know are smooth. Wouldn't go on rip,ride rocket ever again and there are a couple at Busch gdns that are a no. I am slowly becoming the handbag holder and child minder.

Yes both me and DH feel queasy now on some of the rides we used to love. I take a couple of Dramamine before going to Universal and that tends to help,
I’m generally fine at Disneyworld apart from Expedition Everest when it goes backwards 🤢

[OutbackAddict]

Yup, used to love the hulk but last time I went on it felt like my head was being detached from my shoulders, got off feeling dizzy and my neck hurt for a good couple of hours, never mind the teeth rattling experience of space mountain, so have given up doing quite a few rides about as exciting as it gets now for me is slinkly dog dash, 7 dwarfs, big thunder etc. I'm only 53 😳 and feel as i get older there will be a few more that fall by the wayside

Yes and I do think it’s an age thing as it’s been as I’ve got older.

[Taffy1959]

DH is 69 and can go on all the rides with no problem at all.
I’m 61 and I’m finding I’m struggling with a lot of rides now.
The Hulk
Kraken
Manta
Rip Ride Rockit
Montu
Tigris
These are the ones I know I can’t go on and didn’t even attempt Tigris


I’m ok on but only once.
Sheikra
Mako
The Mummy
Rock n Roller Coaster
Forbidden Journey

Everything else I’m fine with

[dippiedawnie]

I always found rip ride rocket a bit rough but always loved the other but did struggle last time. I’m even finding some inside rides like forbidden journey now make me feel sick too 🙁

Yep this is me for sure... does your brain shrink as you get older? If so is it rattling around in your skull more!?

[DonkeyCentreArf]

I think it is less about the head but more that the middle parts are not as tight as they were so things seem to move around a bit more, despite the extra padding!

See more...

Like bagpuss... saggy and a bit loose at the seams... but Emily loved him

Thats certainly counts for me too along with brain shrink!
