Rides for People with Fear: Fun Without Vertigo at Pola Park

Share it

Have you ever been invited to go to an amusement park and the first thing you felt was fear? That uncomfortable knot in your stomach, that inner voice imagining impossible heights, unexpected turns, spins that make you dizzy just by thinking about them. Well, if that has happened to you, we get it. And we’ve got something to tell you: you’re not alone. And more importantly: you can absolutely enjoy an amusement park without feeling bad.

We’ve been sharing special moments with all kinds of people for years. And many of them arrive with certain concerns: some don’t feel comfortable with heights, others can’t stand sudden movements or get dizzy easily. There are also those who come with kids and simply want a calm day without surprises. Well, for all of them, there’s space too.

Why is Pola Park ideal for people afraid of heights?

Let’s start with the basics: at Pola Park, there’s real variety. We’re not just talking about quantity, but about quality and diversity. We’ve got rides for kids, families, thrill-seekers, and also for those who prefer a more relaxed plan. Because not everything has to be spins and screams: there are also plenty of gentle experiences, easy-going and with zero shocks.

And then there’s the practical side, which matters just as much. Everything is clearly explained: at each ride you’ll find the minimum height required, or whether an adult companion is needed. In short, all the info you need to plan your visit without unpleasant surprises. Plus, there are shaded areas, places to sit and rest, and quiet corners to breathe. And honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Perfect rides if you’re afraid of heights (and want to avoid scares)

Here’s a small guide with some of our favorite options if you want to have fun, but at your own pace:

• A safe bet to start: the carousel. Music, lights, that gentle, flowing movement that doesn’t scare anyone. It’s like a warm welcome to the park.
• Add to that the trampolines, the inflatables or the American track.
• The fun house? Well, that depends on the person. There are conveyor belts, crazy stairs, shaky bridges and a bit of playful chaos — but no speed or heights. If you’re sensitive to visual stimuli, it might be better to go with someone and see how you feel once inside.
• Battery cars and motorbikes are another win. You set the pace, everything happens at ground level.
• And the mini-bumpers work the same way: smooth, controlled, with just the right dose of excitement.
• Then there are rides with a little more movement, but nothing too intense. For example, the aerial train. Yes, you’re up high, but there are no shocks. If you don’t look down too much, it can even feel relaxing.
• The drums or the Ferris wheel also fall into this category: you go up, but there are no drops or sudden accelerations.

Rides that may trigger vertigo (but don’t always have to be avoided)

Now let’s talk about those that feel a bit more intimidating. We’re talking about the pirate ship, the drums, the extreme ride, or the roller coaster. Here you’ll find spins, heights, and sensations that some people love, and others… not so much.

If you feel like trying, great. But no pressure. Do it with someone you trust, pick your moment, take a deep breath — and if at any point you decide not to, that’s fine too. Some people gradually overcome their fears little by little. Others prefer not to try. Both are perfectly valid.

Tips for a fear-free visit full of laughter

After so many years, we’ve learned a few things about how to make your visit more pleasant if you’re afraid of heights:

• Plan your route. Start with what makes you feel comfortable and gradually explore from there.
• Arrive early. The first hours of the day are calmer: fewer lines, less noise, more peace.
• Eat light. Probably not the best day for a heavy meal before hopping on rides.
• Take breaks. Sit down, stay hydrated, chat. That’s part of the fun too.
• Look straight ahead. At heights, avoiding looking down can make all the difference.
• Come with good company. Someone who supports you instead of pushing you. Truly.

Special services and helpful details

At Pola Park, we pay attention to the details. We think about those who come with fears, vertigo, or simply want a calmer day:

• We offer special rates for people with functional diversity.
• Each ride indicates if it requires a companion, the minimum height, all that info is available so you can make choices without surprises.
• If something is unavailable that day, we make it clear. No unexpected disappointments.

Planning gives you control. And control is often what makes the experience more enjoyable.

In summary

Being afraid of heights doesn’t mean giving up on fun. At Pola Park, we’re clear about it: there are as many ways to enjoy as there are people walking through our gates. If your way is calmly, without crazy spins or dizzying heights, then you’re in the right place.

It’s not about how many rides you try, but about how you feel while doing it. And if at any point you choose to say “no,” remember: that’s also part of enjoying — choosing what makes you feel good.

So now you know: if you’re looking for rides for people with fear, and want to spend a fun day at your own pace, we’re here. With space for you. Excited to see you enjoy.
