Now that im in the right fourm. Any advice on rides for someone who suffers from panic attacks from hights,fire (fire is a huge one) and fast speeds? I want to have fun with my freinds but I wanna survive my vacation without panic attacks.
If "fire is a huge one" that gives you panic attacks then I want you to be aware that Pirates of the Caribbean has several sections with fire - of course it's not real fire and is done with special lighting effects - so maybe it won't have the same affect on you.
The only "real" fire that I can think of is in the show Fantasmic, so if it's the real thing that can cause panick attacks, then avoid watching this show. All fire effects in the rides (Pirates, Indiana Jones, ect) is fake fire (obviously).
Heights - you'll be able to easily tell which rides go too high for you from the outside of the ride, with the exception of Soarin' over California, which also goes kinda high and gives the illusion that you're VERY HIGH. Also, Peter Pan gives the illusion that you're flying high over London and Neverland, but you're only about 10 feet above the floor (and you'll be able to see the floor).
