We can't say what will trigger your seizures but many parks have warning signs for visitors with certain medical conditions such as seizures to avoid certain rides. If you do have a seizure when riding, it can be very dangerous, even life threatening. You should also discuss this in more detail with your neurologist.

No, you should not go to an amusement park, nor ride roller coasters. You should avoid driving, activities at heights, use of power equipment, taking a bath alone, or swimming alone. Ask your doctor about a Vagal Nerve Stimulator device, as this may be a solution to seizure control.
