Disney fans are not limited by age. We know people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and older who love going to the Disney World parks, with or without kids.

If you’re a 50-something-year-old visiting Magic Kingdom, whether it’s your first visit or 100th, there are probably a few things you avoid that other guests really enjoy doing. As you gain life experience, some rides are just not great anymore. We polled our team (which includes a few individuals in their 50s) and came up with these nine rides older Disney Adults may refuse to ride in Magic Kingdom.

If you’re 50 or older and are still loving these rides, we’re so happy for you! Keep on enjoying what you love. For those of us who just don’t want to end up with an aching back, motion sickness, or the like, keep reading to find out which rides to avoid.

Space Mountain

Space Mountain is a classic. Many of us grew up loving this thrilling, in-the-dark roller coaster. You’re flying through space on a rocket ship, and it’s seriously SO cool.

But as cool and fun as this ride is, it’s not for the weak-hearted, backed, necked, kneed, ankled…you get the picture. It’s not great for those of us who are “over the hill” (uh…mountain). First off, it’s unnecessarily difficult to get into the ride vehicles. You’ll break your knees and hips just trying to get in.

Once you’re finally in the vehicle, you then go soaring, more like whipping, through space. The turns will either give you whiplash or break your back! Not to mention the motion sickness you might experience after a ride on this mountain. This ride is great for the spry kids, but if you’re a bit older, it might be time to throw in the towel on Space Mountain.

TRON Lightcycle / Run

TRON Lightcycle / Run is a relatively new ride in Magic Kingdom that is lots of fun! For anyone who doesn’t fit well on the standard ride vehicles, there are alternative, accommodating vehicles. So that’s great for anyone a bit older and less limber.

But this is a roller coaster, and (regardless of age, honestly), it can make you sick. It goes fast, it curves, it dips, it dodges, and it may make you see your breakfast again. So if you’re prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one.

I Had 3 Major Problems at TRON Lightcycle / Run in Disney World — Here’s How I Solved Them

Mad Tea Party

Speaking of motion sickness, do you consider spinning around and around and around for any duration to be fun? If you’re over 50, you might want to skip the Mad Tea Party with the Mad Hatter.

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

You might be wondering why in the world a carrousel is on this list, but it’s simply because you never know when those horses will buck you off!

Seriously, it can be a real pain trying to get on one of the horses, especially if you don’t bend or stretch like you used to.

Barnstormer

Goofy’s Barnstormer is a fun little roller coaster in Storybook Circus. It’s intended for kids, but adults will likely have a good time on it too!

However, if you’re reaching 50 or above, this ride might not be your cup of tea. The ride vehicles are a tight squeeze, and there’s that whole motion sickness issue again.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a cute little ride that is extremely smooth; it feels like you’re gliding, not riding. However, many older riders say that the seats are just a little too snug, and the wait is way too long for how short the ride is.

If you don’t mind “cozy” seating and can snag a Lightning Lane Single Pass, then you might enjoy Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. If not, you might want to skip it.

Astro Orbiter

Astro Orbiter has some very tight rockets that are nearly impossible to get in and out of, even when you’re in a spry 20-year-old!

It’s neat to see Tomorrowland from a bird’s-eye view, but it might not be worth attempting to get in and out of those rockets! Falling out would NOT be good.

Tomorrowland Speedway

Another classic ride that you might want to avoid if you’re over 50 is Tomorrowland Speedway. It could be fun to ride with your grandchild, but these cars are very low to the ground, handle pretty tough, and smell like gas.

You’ll be in for a bumpy and jerky car ride on this attraction!

These might not be the rides for you if you’re in your pushing your 50s (or any age if you don’t enjoy rickety rides, spinning constantly, roller coasters, or awkward ride vehicles). However, there are still plenty of great rides and entertainment for you at Magic Kingdom!
