(HealthNewsDigest.com)-Though seniors are often referred to as being in the “autumn of their lives,” fall can still be a season of adventure-especially when enjoying a vacation in the fun-filled atmosphere of Orlando.
While the nation’s theme-park capital is a child-friendly destination, that doesn’t mean that older Americans can’t get in on the excitement-with or without grandkids. Fall is the perfect time to plan a trip to Orlando to enjoy warm, 70-degree temperatures and lighter crowds. Whether looking for a Grandparents Day getaway with the grandkids or an adults-only trip, seniors with an adventurous spirit and an inner daredevil can find plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities to enjoy. For example:
• Race a stock car: Get behind the wheel of an authentic NASCAR-style stock car at Richard Petty Driving Experience or an Indy race car at the Indy Racing Experience.
• Float a balloon: Enjoy a breathtaking view of Orlando while soaring high above the treetops on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride at Orlando Balloon Rides or Bob’s Balloon Charters.
• Skydive: Learn to skydive-without the airplane-via an indoor wind tunnel at SkyVenture Orlando.
• Hang glide: Take a tandem flight 2,000 feet in the air at Wallaby Ranch Hang Gliding Flight Park.
• Coast your way through the parks: From the Rip Ride Rockit coaster at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and the Manta coaster at SeaWorld to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Orlando coasters rank among the best in the United States.
• Take a flight: Ride in an actual World War II biplane at Fantasy of Flight or Warbird Adventures.
• Drive off-road: Revolution, The Off-Road Experience lets visitors take the wheel of an all-terrain vehicle, Hummer, Jeep dune buggy or high-speed rally car for a few hours of off-road fun.
• Search for gators: Hop aboard one of many area jet-engine-powered airboats, such as Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, to skim over untouched wetlands and through cypress swamps, looking for native species.
