What Rides Will You Not Ride and Why?

I know my favorites (Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Test Track) and also know rides that you won't get me on such as
  • Tea Cups - Weak Stomach for Spinning
  • Astro Orbitor - Weak Stomach
  • Mission Space- Weak Stomach
  • Star Tours - Weak Stomach
  • Terror of Terror - Weak Stomach (everything except the actual drop looks really cool)
  • Rock N Roll Roller Coaster - Don' t like Update Down Rides
  • Splash Mountain - Scared of big drop, but I could be convinced for this one (DS favorite!)

Guess most of the rides in my list are for the same reason.

What rides will you not ride and why?


my list has some similarities to yours, but there are big differences..
for example, I LOVE Tower of Terror and ride it a lot - i once rode it 17 times in a row....
it goes up and down, so there's no problem for me...i only have to avoid things that turn around or twist......
and i also LOVE Mission Space - the wimpy side...obviously, i can't ride the 'intense' side.. :)
and i LOVE LOVE LOVE Splash Mountain - best themed ride in all of WDW (2nd best themed ride is ToT)...

so here's my list of those i have to avoid:
-- Tea Cups
-- Astro Orbitor (i tried it once many years ago....mistake)
-- Carousel (i rode it when i was younger, but the last time i was on it about 15 years ago and got crazy dizzy....so, nope....can't do it anymore...)
-- Dumbo (same as above)
-- Aladdin magic carpet (never rode it, assume it's like dumbo)
-- Thunder Mountain - too much turning
-- 7 dwarves - i'm assuming it will be like thunder mountain for me....i'll try it once, but i'm guessing it's going to make me queasy..
-- Rock and Roller Coaster - those barrel rolls kill me.....it takes a day for me to recover...
-- Star Tours - i can ride it if i keep my eyes closed...sort of defeats the purpose though
-- Expedition Everest - OMG i thought i was going to die...i was fine until it started backing up and then i was done for....it took me hours to recover from the motion sickness it caused

i think that's it...for me it's all motion sickness...anything that spins or barrel rolls...
if it just goes up and down, i'm totally fine with it...(like ToT and Splash).
 
I'm not much of a ride person between motion sickness and back issues its just really not appealing to me. One of the reasons I love Disney is that there is plenty to do even if you don't like rollercoasters. The shows are my favorite part. I don't do..

Tower of Terror
Rock N Rollercoaster
Star Tours
Teacups
Space Mountain
Big thunder Mountain
Everest
Kali River Rapids
Primeval Whirl
Dinosaur
Sum of all thrills
mission space
astro orbiter
Stitch's great escape


Some of my favorite attractions are

Dumbo
Finding Nemo
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
It's a small world
Mickey's Philharmagic
 
Only once had a motion sickness issue, on Mickey's (not-so) fun wheel at DCA. That ride is not fun AT ALL.
 

Stitch because the restraint does not know when to stop and it hurts.

ToT because the only time.I went on it the guy next to one's seatbelt would not close and the CM did not offer anyone else a chance to get off before closing the elevator. It freaked me out and still does.
 
Space Mountain- definitely rougher than before, not enjoyable to me anymore
Mission Space-too enclosed space & makes me feel queasy
Rock n Rollercoaster- it somewhat goes upside down
Tower of Terror-its unpredictability
 
I don't think I'll ever do Astro Orbiter or Primeval Whirl. Not that I get easily queasy during rides (after all, Space Mountain and Rock'n'Roller Coaster are some of my favorite rides!), but these two just don't appeal to me.
