Well i dont think u should have to tell him because u obviously feel really.strongly about not letting ur family know right now which is ur right soo a few ideas toget out of roller coaster ride... I would tell him that your nauseous and unless he wants to.get thrown up on he should go by himself... Or see if theres anyone else that can go with you guys so he has someone to go on the rides with. Orr u lie all together and tell him u cant go because.u.got asked to.cover a shift at work.

If you've already made the decision to keep this baby and be a responsible mother the first step is acceptance and being able to share it with those who are important. You may need their help during your pregnancy. Why wait and risk the chances of hurting their feelings? Seriously, what could go wrong by you telling your family that you're pregnant??? New life is an exciting thing no matter the circumstance...

From American pregnancy dot org
"For many people, the reason to go to an amusement park is to ride a roller coaster. Unfortunately, for women who are pregnant, this is an activity that is not recommended.

What is the concern with roller coasters and pregnancy?

The concern with roller coasters during pregnancy is associated with the rapid starts and stops along with jarring that occurs during the ride. This rigorous activity creates additional jarring forces within the uterus that may lead to premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus, which is called placental abruption.

Currently, there are no studies that document a problem with roller coasters while you are pregnant. Similarly, there are no studies documenting that it is safe either. Automobile accidents have caused placental abruption and other complications for women who are pregnant even when the trauma is not directly to the uterus.

Although there have been pregnant women who have ridden a roller coaster without complication, it is a risk that should be avoided. Amusement parks are good at identifying rides that pose risks to pregnant women.

Pregnancy and Roller Coasters: Recommendations

The safest course of action is to play it safe and avoid the rides that pose a risk; you can always return to the park and ride things after you deliver.

If his birthday is more important to you than potentially harming baby by getting on a roller coaster, go ahead.
