I have recently been diagnosed with Chiari I malformation. I can no longer ride anything that could cause further herniation of the brain. I know that rules out Rock N Rollercoaster and Space Mountain. Is there anywhere that may have a list? I tried searching under info central but didn't see anything. I've never ridden Test Track but given the nature of the ride I would rule that out as well.

Sorry to hear that. I would probably advise against riding any rides that have a "head or neck condition" warning.

Unfortunately, that will eliminate all the thrill type rides.

My sister has Chiari, and had the surgery, so I know a little about your condition. Let your doctor be your guide, ask about each ride you would like to experience. You will still have a magical time either way!!!

I'd say there are probably others to consider. Winnie the Pooh, El Rio, Small World, etc. Pooh you bounce around pretty good, and the others I always get whiplash in the unloading area when other vehicles collide. So I'd think through the rides to make sure.
