WPW/SVT & roller coasters

[m***@gmail.com]

I have an appt. with my PCP this Friday and will ask her, but I wanted
to get an idea from everyone here.

Is it okay to go on roller coasters if you have WPW?

My family and i are supposed to go to a theme park next week and I LOVE
the big rides. I do not want to put myself in danger though.

Thanks again in advance.

Depends on how fast your heart will go if the roller coaster triggers
atrial fibrillation.

Would suggest you take it easy while you are having symptoms.
