It won't say how tall, yet. Grab a tube and slide. Story highlights Health conditions linked to age should be taken into account when riding roller coasters People with heart or blood pressure problems should consult doctors before going on rides. As people age, they may feel the bumps and drops of a roller coaster more strongly or take longer to recover from dizziness after having been spun at high speeds.
They may just not enjoy the thrill as much as they did as a kid. Most theme parks feature rides at varying levels specifically to attract riders of different ages, but children and young adults up to the age of 30 continue to be the primary market, according to Trabucco. Although children often have to be a minimum age to ride, upper age limits for an amusement ride are uncommon.
