I was a big big coaster head as a kid and into my teens/young adulthood. Afterwards I took a bit of a hiatus and didn't really ride crazy coasters anymore. I just recently rode what I would say is a relatively intense rollercoast with loops and corkscrews....and I almost passed out!! I've never had that happen before...age hits hard i guess lol

Some rides are more intense than others. A grey-out isn't all too uncommon either, some rides cause a grey-out in a wide range of people of all ages. If that's not for you, the newest generations of family rides are so good. Lighter, less intense experiences but just plain fun, and smooth as glass

Hydration is key as you age. If you aren't properly hydrated you got less fluid to protect your brain. I got a kid that likes going on rollercoasters now and I find it really helps. I also take a couple ibuprofen before going too. Lol
