ride vehicles and seniors

[disneyfromvermo]

My wife and I are planning a trip to the world. We have been on a few trips prior to this one. However, we are facing a new hurdle. This time, we have invited my mother-in-law to join us. As a result, I have two questions.

Question 1: Since there will now be three instead of two, which ride vehicles will allow for only two. None of the three of us are terribly large but we are all regular adults.

Question 2: My mother-in-law is a senior and I don't want to put her in an uncomfortable ride. So, for those of you who are seniors, are there rides in the world that you would advise an otherwise healthy 62 year old woman avoid?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Question # 2

Since I'm close to your mother's age, and my husband IS your mother's age, I'll take a stab.

If you had trouble with spinning rides, coasters, etc at 25, you will still have trouble at 62. If you've never been bothered by spinning, you will enjoy M:S, teacups, etc....which all allow for 3 people to be seated together. I have no problem, my husband has tried them once, and never again.


If you didn't like coasters at 25, you aren't going to like them at 62. My husband & I go on all of the mountains, and RnR. But I won't go on outdoor inverted coasters, or really high ones...Big Thunder Mountain & Splash Mountain are at the edge of my comfort level.

I have not been on Expedition Everest yet, but will be on my next trip. I have never been on ToT, as it is my worst nightmare scenario. I don't care for the Astro-Orbiters, as I am afraid of heights. (But I'm OK on Soaring. :shrug

My husband finds Dinosaur to be too rough, and has back and neck aches afterward. I had a little twinge last time; if it gets worse, I may give it up also.

Hope I've helped.

I am not a senior so I could not answer question 2. As far as question 1. The rides that I can tink of that would be either tight for 3 or simply not allowed are,
MK: Buzz, TTA, Peter Pan, HM. I really can not think of any other rides in the other parks. I am sure that there are more but that is the list that I can think of so far. Hope this helps.
