Yeah, where I work now, we have some very annoying music, and occasionally we have other noises like alarms and such and I have become an expert at not noticing them. We have a back door alarm, it is a bell that is very loud, it always startles our customers but I don't even flinch. They ask how I do it, I tell them its easy after a while. So I understands that, even from a non Disney standpoint.

It depends on the roller coaster.

I've never been to Disneyland so I don't know... I do okay on Rock 'n Roller Coaster but Expedition Everest really bothers me. I do best with ones that aren't too jerky.

You probably wouldn't do too well on the Matterhorn then. That track is pretty rough...although with the latest refurb, it might be a lot smoother. You would love California Screamin' ~ that is a very smooth coaster

I feel sorry for you Soarin that you can't experience eveything at WDW.

Funny you say that, Soarin. I have the most trouble with coasters that have neck restraints, so RnRC bothers me, but I can ride EE multiple times without any difficulty (last trip, I rode it 8 times). My DH has problems with some coasters. He finds riding in the middle is the best solution.

The only ride I have trouble with (because of back problems) is Star Tours. I have to sit dead center or I'm in pain.

I could definitely see that being a problem. Those seats are not comfortable at all.
Hey, maybe if you request dead center next time, you'll get to be the rebel spy.

My DS would love that. I think the boy is an imperial spy!!!
