Should I Go To Amusement Park As I Have A Small Hole In Eardrum?

I think I may have a small hole in my eardrum (it makes this flapping noise when I blow my nose or yawn but there s only a small sudden pain with this and then it goes away, there s no hearing loss or dizziness or anything like that). But my family is supposed to go to an amusement park tomorrow. Would it still be alright to go on thrill rides and roller coasters with my ear this way?
