Neck issues at Disneyland

[MIALIAS]

My wife has sensitive neck issues. She hurt her neck on Goofy Barnstormer!

What are rides at DL and DCA to do or avoid?
How’s Radiator Springs and Rise?

Any other advice much appreciated.

Thanks!

I also have a sensitive neck. I would skip Matterhorn for sure. I still ride it, but it usually makes me sore the rest of the day!

Racers is pretty smooth! The first part when entering the building might bother her, as the car kinda goes fast. And then the actually race is smooth.

Goofys sky school is another that might hurt. I do ok on Incredicoaster because I keep my head back the entire time. Space mtn I also do ok with and it’s one of my favorites!! Rise is very smooth and I don’t have issues on that attraction. Indy is very bumpy. I try to relax my neck as much as possible on it and I do ok.

I would maybe watch some ride videos to also give you an idea. I hope you both have a great time!

Rise is pretty smooth but it might vary from person to person as far as what is too much movement for them. I have a super bad back but Rise was fine for me. But Mickey's Runaway Railway was terrible for me, even though I'd heard it isn't too jostly. I would avoid Indian Jones with a sensitive neck. Also Matterhorn. I agree with Crystal about watching some ride videos.

I hate the jarring of many rides on my neck and back...so I pull myself off the seat at the jerk points...but I also have ridden everything to know where each jerk is.

Ditch the Matterhorn for sure!

Do not ride Matterhorn or Goofys sky school!!!

I have 3 herniated discs in my neck. Goofy’s Sky School is the absolute worst. I also skip Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, and Matterhorn. I can do Big Thunder but it’s a little iffy. Incredicoaster is not a problem because it has good support. Radiator Springs and Rise don’t bother me at all.

I have a bad neck and can’t ride anything with large drops or twists. Splash put me out of commission for days the last time I rode it.

I can ride:

Rise
Indy
RSR
BTMRR

Barnstormer messed up my neck too! Years ago I went on it and since then I get neck pain that turns into migraines.
I can do all other rides - except Sky School. Same idea as Barnstormer, Goofy hates me.
