Age to ride in separate ride car without an adult

[samsonjs]

My kids were wondering if they can go in separate ride vehicle from us. They are 9 and 7. We would enter and ride too but for some reason they really want to go in their own seat. I can't find anything other than park entry.

Age 7 and up can ride entirely alone, so yes they can ride together....or apart.

During our last trip, my Dad, my son, and I rode Test Track a few times in a row via the single rider line. We put him in the middle of us in the line, so one of us would be waiting for him when he got out. It actually always worked out, so that he was IN the car with one of us, but he wasn't in the same row.

Your all set - 7 is the minimum age to ride alone.

We overheard a conversation between a cast member and guests on this a few weeks ago. The cast member said anyone UNDER 7 needs to ride with someone 14 or older. The parent said "well, he'll be 7 next week" and the cast member replied "then he's 6 and needs an adult with him".

Thank you. It's not a huge deal but kids this age love being independent so I thought I would let them do it since my husband and I have never ridden together. Maybe we will just try the slow rides first.

Slow rides first is to benefit you two or the kids?

I'm just kidding, this is a family destination.

There is something really nice about your kids getting some independence. The first time we were able to sit in lounge chairs while they swam was awesome.

I was on Slinky Dog last night and there were two little girls behind me. The CM said, “I just need to ask your ages.” One girl answered, “I’m 7, and this is my sister and she’s 9.” The CM said perfect.

That is correct. 6.364 days, can't ride alone. 7, can.
It's really not complicated.

Not really. The answer that said no is incorrect.
7 yo can ride alone. They can ride with another. Just can't ride with anyone who is not 7

As happens so very often, the Mom's panel gave an incorrect answer. The answer should have said under 7, not 7 and under.
7 CAN ride alone. 6 can not

Most of what the mom’s panel said is technically correct. Under 14 you can’t enter the PARK without someone 14 or over. Under 7 you can’t RIDE without someone 14 or overthough she does say 7 and under which is wrong).

However, it did not clearly answer the question which was whether a pair of 7-13 year olds can ride along together, which is definitely yes.
