rides that leave legs dangling

After reading all the great reviews on ';Soarin'; I would really love to try it. Here%26#39;s my problem, I am a leg amputee wearing a prosthetic leg. I read that once you are on the ride the floor drops away so obviously your feet are left dangling. Is there a lot of jarring and motion that effects the legs ie: do they swing around a lot? My leg is attached securely in 2 places but is meant to walk on not dangle, gosh can you imagine if I lost it mid-ride LOL I would be mortified, can anyone advise if this ride is do-able for me, also any other rides I might have problems with.

There is almost no motion on this ride - it pretty much just tilts a little forward/back, so you feel like you%26#39;re flying faster/slower, or sometimes leans to a side, so you feel like you%26#39;re turning.

The ride itself doesn%26#39;t move anywhere (other than lifting you up in front of the giant screen), but stays in place the whole time. I don%26#39;t think it would jar you at all, if that is what you are concerned with.

I wish I could edit instead of double-post (sorry!), but I wanted to add that there aren%26#39;t a whole lot of other rides where this would be an issue for you.

The only one I can think of is at DCA, and that%26#39;s the giant swings. Like a carnival swing ride, you get into a swing, and it lifts you up high in the air. It%26#39;s a great view, right next the the lake at DCA, but your legs are freely swinging, and there is some force from going around in a circle. Some of the swings also bumb each other as the ride is slwoing down, it%26#39;s possible someone might accidentally bump you in the knee.

That%26#39;s the only other one I can think of at both parks where your legs are hanging.

I can%26#39;t remember the name of it (cause we%26#39;ve never been on it), but there is also another ride just up from the big swing where your legs dangle. It%26#39;s one that shoots people up really fast and then you go back up and down a few times. That quick motion could be a problem for you. Mind you, I don%26#39;t have a prosthetic and I think it would be a problem for me too!! You%26#39;re not going to catch me on any ride that needs a face shield - no matter how good the view is!!

I just rode it yesturday and you do lift off the ground and dangle but there is not any jarring motion. If your leg is securely attached then you should be fine. You can ask an employee to make sure but the thrill to this ride is more in your mind not in fast jerky movements. It is a smooth ride like you%26#39;re flying above the ocean and the mountains, etc. not jerky at all.

Thanks so much everyone for replying, I will definitely try it then.

The ride with the face shield is that what I think it is for (in case of motion sickness) man you wouldn%26#39;t get me on that either if that%26#39;s the case.

I can%26#39;t wait to go to DL, we will be there for 10 days mid November.

^^^ The ride is called Maliboomer and the facial shield is to try and block out the noise of people screaming. I had to ask last time we were there because I thought it was for motion sickness too.

I%26#39;m glad you%26#39;ve decided to try it-- it%26#39;s my favorite ride in CA (and I don%26#39;t think it would be a problem for you either). When we had 4 day park hopper passes last time we stayed mainly in Disneyland, but I kept dragging hubby across the lot to CA just to go ride it again.

Umm, no. It%26#39;s there so people don%26#39;t get partially digested hamburgers %26amp; shakes rained upon them.

If you can%26#39;t hear the people screaming, folks wouldn%26#39;t look at the ride. A scream shield is what they tell the tourists... obviously it works.
