Vertigo is a subjective feeling of movement of the objects surrounding us or our own body. It is usually a feeling of spinning. Vertigo is also known as being afraid of heights. It is normally an irrational fear which makes us feel bad, overwhelmed… It is usually the fear of falling down what make us feel blocked and which does not let us carry on normally.
Vertigo can prevent some people from visiting some places or enjoying attractions such as the ones we have in the water park Aqualandia. In fact, as many of you know, we have one attraction called like that: Verti-Go, as its height, speed and acceleration can make you feel that vertigo and dizzy feeling… But, above all, it makes you release adrenaline and have fun. It is one of our stars and we want you all to enjoy it, even though we understand that we are not all the same and it is ok if any of you do not feel well on these kinds of attractions.
However, if you are hesitating because you sometimes have a slight feeling of vertigo, you think it is too high and you feel overwhelmed, but a part of you want to enjoy Verti-Go and other of our most extreme water slides, here you have some advice to overcome your fears and vertigo:
