Why does my body hurt after amusement park?

Forward flexion of your spine or bending forward, along with the rotation and twisting from sudden turns, raises backside pressure of your disc where your spinal canal is. Movements like these can cause pain, particularly if you have a history of disc problems. They can also cause disc herniation.

Bending backward, or extension of the spine, puts more force on the spinal joints, which can aggravate arthritis pain. Even some of the “tame” rides can lead to pain later, especially if you're already tense or sore. Sudden, forceful movements can set off muscle spasms.

Motion sickness occurs when your brain can't make sense of information sent from your eyes, ears and body. Lots of motion — in a car, airplane, boat, or even an amusement park ride — can make you feel queasy, clammy or sick to your stomach.

MORE DETAILS

What causes motion sickness? Your brain receives signals from motion-sensing parts of your body: your eyes, inner ears, muscles and joints. When these parts send conflicting information, your brain doesn't know whether you're stationary or moving. Your brain's confused reaction makes you feel sick.

“As we get older, the vestibular system gets less efficient, meaning it doesn't respond as easily to motion of the head or to movement around us. Normally the inner ear responds to movement automatically, so we aren't aware that it is working until the movement is too much for our vestibular system to handle.

Riders may experience weightlessness at the tops of hills (negative g-forces) and feel heavy at the bottoms of hills (positive g-forces). This feeling is caused by the change in direction of the roller coaster. At the top of a roller coaster, the car goes from moving upward to flat to moving downward.
