Roughest rides?

[kim31kim]

What would you rank as the roughest rides in terms of jerking you around (hurting neck/back etc)? I think I read Hulk and Rip Ride Rockit are both really rough. My husband has a mild back issue so just curious which ones I should probably discourage him from riding.

For rides like dragons, hulk, hippogriff - the front and back are the bumpiest and have the most whip. The center has the least. You can always ask to be placed near the center. most of the other rides the experience is pretty even regardless of where you sit.

All of the 3d rides (spider, transformers, simpsons, minion) and mummy, forbidden journey, gringotts do jerk you around.

I'd eliminate RRR, Hulk and Dragon Challenge.

I was really hoping Dragon challenge wouldn't make the list! I want to ride that one!

All coasters really should make the list for a bad back. You can ride it without your husband!

Mummy has a stop that is ridiculously abrupt. I wedge my forearms between the restraint and my body.

I didn't mention that I'm a chicken and need hand holding (or dragging/ pushing) to get on the ride. Haha. I guess I'll need to put on my big girl pants and ride by myself.

Oh goodness! Sounds scary. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Hmm...you guys may want to stick with the shows, touring around the different areas...especially the HP areas, maybe do Ripsaw Falls, Bluto's Barges, maybe River Adventure (Jurassic Park)...not jerky but pretty intense at the end, Men in Black, T2, High in the Sky Trolley Train Ride and Hogwart's Express.

Even if you guys do not actually ride a ride, you can go all the way through the queue and check out everything...some neat stuff, then skip the actual ride. The Forbidden Journey and Escape from Gringott's are particularly interesting queues.

RRR is the one coaster I won't go on anymore. It felt like my head was jerking all around and had a huge headache afterward.

The Mummy is so much fun!! You have to do it!! Love RRR too, if you pick a good song. It really can make the ride to have a great song to go with!
