BB Ski school area ???

Can my 3 year old go in this area? I read that it is geared for preteens. He can swim is 40 1/2 inches tall. I know he would love the t bar hanging thing. I wasn't finding ride restrictions...

We did TL last year and he went on everything he was tall enough for which was a lot. DH would lke to try BB this year, just wondering if there will be enogh to keep my thrill seeking son happy... Thanks.

Ther is no minimum age. Just watch out that the bigger pre-teens don't push in front of him in line. The t-bar was a lot of fun but really needed a CM to run the line.

My DD was 7 and tall for her age and bigger kids kept pushing in front until I walked uo and monitored the line.

Keep in mind that the T-Bar landing area is in a pool that is at least 6 feet deep and he will need to be a good swimmer to be able to swim out quickly after the ride. Also you would probably have to help him get on the t-bar, my daughter is 47 inches tall and she could only reach one of them (one is slightly lower than the other) and even that took her a few tries.

Thanks, I was not worried about the swimming out of the water, but was concerned about his height and being able to reach the bar.

Last year he argued over and over with the CMs about going on slides he was too short for since he can swim... It was embarassing for so many CMs to know his name as the day went on.

Maybe TL is a better bet again this year?

the catch pool at the t-bar is actually about 10 feet deep and as long as your son can reach one of the bars with out any help (there is actually one bar that is lower then the other) he can go on it

There is a lot to do in the pre-teen area. I went with an 8 yr old last time and she did fine. There is also a couple of water slides he might find babyish but there are a lot of slides in BB that he should be able to do.

I love this area and I think BB is better that TL. The pre-teen area kept 4 kids from 8 to 12 busy for a good 3 hours.
