Usually when the rain stops, the ride will resume as soon as it is safe to do so. Do know that each ride has different conditions in which it can operate depending on many factors so some of them won't be able to operate even if it's close to raining while some will start up as soon as the rain stops.
Roller coasters, especially steel roller coasters, run more slowly when temperatures start getting into the 40s — because cold weather increases friction in the wheels. Cold weather also causes the track and other ride components to shrink slightly, which could lead to serious operating issues with the roller coaster.
Other health conditions can make going on high-speed rides unsafe, including pregnancy, recent surgery, heart problems, high blood pressure and aneurysms, as well as the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Many outdoor attractions cannot operate in colder conditions. Water rides close when temperatures plunge below 50° F but many other types of rides cannot run in the cold. Outdoor roller coasters have a minimum operating temperature in the 40s or 50s.
A roller coaster ride comes to an end. Magnets on the train induce eddy currents in the braking fins, giving a smooth rise in braking force as the remaining kinetic energy is absorbed by the brakes and converted to thermal energy.
A roller coaster is a machine that uses gravity and inertia to send a train of cars along a winding track. The combination of gravity and inertia, along with g-forces and centripetal acceleration give the body certain sensations as the coaster moves up, down, and around the track.
Understand that roller coasters are supposed to be scary.If you're feeling scared by the idea of a 12-story drop going 60 mph (97 km/h), that's perfectly normal.
