I’m taking my son to Disney for Spring break.. is it safe to get on rides with bone Mets? I’m not in any pain but I did have mets in spine.

I would....my Mets are in 3 spots on spine. Cervical and lumber. Of course, be cautious. For me, it’s the same as horseback riding. And we have some ladies here who do that too!

I was in my 30's and healthy when I got on a roller coaster and ended up with a neck injury. It was the end of the season, so maybe the equipment was in need of maintenance but I don't ride roller coasters anymore because being scared is fine but not actually injured! just my two cents! God bless you!

I went to Disney! And I’m going again in the fall! Space Mountain here I come! With my wide spread bone mets! Most rides shouldn’t be of concern...maybe not the Rockin Roller Coaster...the Aerosmith ride is 0 to 65 in under 10 seconds but other than that enjoy your day! I was on the Phantoms Revenge at Kennywood in Pittsburgh (65 mph and 210 foot drop) 2 days before I was diagnosed...😱🙈 I didn’t know 🤣

Have fun! Tell Mickey I’ll see him in October!

That and I don’t think they have any of the older wooden/bumpy coasters...they’re all steel I believe...and yes there is a huge difference! 😀

Hi,

If you are concerned about injury then I would run it by your GP, oncologist or oncology nurses. I don't go to amusement parks much. I'm the world's biggest wimp when it comes to rides and normally scream until it's all over!
