She LOVED it! Once she rode it then saw Flight of the Hippogriff, it's small and she's feeling brave at this point, so she rode that. And she LOVED it! I told her that how ALL roller coasters are...none of them last very long, some are a little higher, lower, faster, slower, but pretty much all the same. And that's how we created a monster. She will ride everything and regrets waiting until our last day to start riding roller coasters. Now her only stress is if she'll be able to pick a song fast enough on Rip Ride Rockit. However, if you have to, the Universal Rider Swap is awesome...you'll go through the entire line together before anyone goes to a waiting area, which always looked nice and entertaining for being a waiting area.
You got off lightly. On one of our early trips my son announced that he was scared of rollercoasters. In all fairness he had bumped his chin when smaller on Big Thunder in DLP. I resorted to bribery and he negotiated me up from $50 to a pair of red David Beckham football boots, which I think were maybe 3 or more times that. Only one bribe though, not per ride. The ride was Mantis at Seaworld I believe, and I knew that if he could overcome a fear of that, everything else would be easy. He loved the ride and has never shown any fear since. My daughter believes that I was ‘played’.
