Chiari I Malformation

[NewmanFamily6]

I have recently been diagnosed with Chiari I malformation. It is a herniation of the cerebellum into the spinal canal. So all rides that apply G Forces to the head/neck area are now no go. I know that includes Test Track, the Rockin Roller Coaster, Everest, and Space Mountain is just plain rough. Can someone point me to any others? I have tried to google but not much luck.

Star Tours shakes you around quite a bit. I would also be wary of Big Thunder Mtn and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Both Tower of Terror and Splash Mtn have big drops but are fairly smooth.

I believe Allears has an up to date list of rides that have health warnings.

That should give you a starting point that you could run past your neurologist. Even ToT and Splash Mountain might need to be avoided because of the negative Gs. Also, Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl, Kali Rapids, Mission Space orange.

Thank you so much! I did not know where to look to find the info.

Post 23 on page 2 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread has a list of attractions with warnings, along with some additional information about the attraction and a guess at the reason for the warning.
This is a link to page 2 of that thread. You can also find it near the top of this board.
