Has anyone got on a roller coaster after ADR? How long was it post-op before you went on one?

Pablo,
I went on MANY rollercoasters at 7 months post-op. This is next on my list this summer: Kingda Ka. I made sure to avoid JERKY rides--I took advice from friends and I asked many people at the rides. My brother often did a test run for me! Justin

Dude you are crazy!!
I figured I would try the little Disney rides first, to see how I feel. That's a good idea to have a test runner for you!!

I had a 2 level cervical on 1-12-05 and a 2 level lumbar in 2002 and I just got back from DisneyWorld, MGM, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom and I went on the roller coasters. I am no worse for the wear and still on no pain meds. My surgeon said that my disks were very stable and it should be fine if I am not hurting. I didn't go on Aeosmith at MGM because I heard it was real jerky. I went on Space Mountain twice. It was fun!

The Aerosmith rollercoaster isn't jerky. I avoided the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland as I have heard it is very jerky.
Pablo--the rides at Disneyland and Disneyworld are all ok (I choose to avoid Indy as my brother was going to shoot me if I tried to get on it  ).Justin

Paul,
Indiana Jones Oh yeah, I avoided this ride as it is jerky too: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The Tower of Terror is great fun and it isn't hard on the back! Justin
