Hi there,
(small print - I know this is our responsibility and decision, of course, I'm just trying to get some more extensive opinions before we make the choice)
Our little one loves Disneyland Paris and adores the 'fast train' (Big Thunder Mountain) - the faster the better for him. He's not afraid of anything it seems. He also loves the Troublesome Trucks mini-coaster and the slightly bigger Ben 10 ride both at Drayton Manor here in the UK. He has Autism and Sensory Integration Disorder which in his case makes him under-sensitive to things, so to even register a thrill things have to be stronger, harder, higher, faster etc.
We're going to WDW for the first time in March and he will be 6 1/2. He's tall for his age, and very strong (although quite skinny). He is SO going to want to go on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Expedition Everest but I am scared to take him on them. His father and I both love these rides, and I *think* he would - but what if the upside down bits in RnRC scare him, or the general height on Everest scares him....
So, generally, do you think 6 1/2 is an ok age to go on these two rides or is it a bit too young?
Thanks for any opinions, all received with gratitude...
