Which rides are jerky?

[Dakota731]

I've had surgery and can't ride anything that is jerky and jostles my neck around. I know to avoid the obvious adult coasters but what other rides and kiddie coasters should I avoid?

 

[momma2ethan]

Barnstormer is quite jerky.

Space Mountain, Dinosaur, Big Thunder and Everest are ones I can think of right now. Ops just read that you wanted to know what kiddie ones.

If I remember correctly, I think Star Tours is a little jerky.

Space Mountain, Big Thunder, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Barnstormer, and Buzz Lightyear (to a lesser extent than the others because you can control the way the car spins) in MK
Dinosaur, Everest, and Primeval Whirl in AK
Test Track in Epcot. I don't remember Mission Space being jerky, but that might be because I was too busy trying to keep my lunch from making a re-appearance.
Rock'n'Roller Coaster and Star Tours in HS

Primeval Whirl.

Plus when it stops it pushed my hip into a bolt or the bar (not sure what it was) so hard I was bruised.

Jerky may be in the eye of the beholder, but many rides could jostle your neck - any of the boat rides that may bump at the end, like Small World, Pirates, 3 Caballeros, FEA could be considered jerky. all of the coasters (kiddie or otherwise) would be too, especially Primeval Whirl at AK. TT has 3 very jerky portions. even the cars for TSMM spin and jerk you. I guess it depends on what level of "jerkiness" your neck can take.

On our last trip, Star Tours was the ride that jerked me around the most.

I don't remember Pirates or Three Caballeros being that jerky, but at the end, you will "rear end" other boats and your boat will get "rear ended." That can give you quite a jolt.

I remember being whipped side to side violently on Test Track, in the test area before you get to the track itself.

SO MUCH YES! We got stuck on PW and were forced to ride it 5 times back to back because the lap bar would not release. I was bruised from hip to hip. DS9 thought it was a hoot, I did not.

Dinosaur was the worst. Didn't enjoy that ride at all.

Dinosaur was the worst. Didn't enjoy that ride at all.

Agree 100%. Definitely the worst. I stay far away from it now with neck problems.

 

[Minsc]

We like Dinosaur, but it certainly is a medical procedure waiting to happen.

 

[AllieBoo]

Aladdin can be jerky if your kids are using the controller to go up and down.

I felt a little funny coming into this thread with the intention of mentioning PW but I see now I am soo not the only one. We went in 2015 and just the other night during dinner my daughter was poking fun at my reaction on PW. I really got jostled quite a bit and one time I felt my back twinge a bit. It was fine afterwards but startled me a bit during the ride. The next day I noticed a big bruise on my leg and while I honestly have no idea which ride was the culprit, I can't help but now think it was PW.

 

[zebrastreyepz]

The Speedway is another one I'd watch out for. I got rear ended on there once and hurt my neck.

 

[Dakota731]

Maybe I should ask what I can ride

 

[JETSDAD]

I have to agree about PW....I have a messed up neck but am fine on most Disney rides. PW I'm so sore afterwards.

Shockingly, the people mover was smacking the cars together REALLY hard on our last trip. My daughter nearly went flying from the seat!
