Brave 3 1/2 yo DD

[radarman]

My DD is 3 1/2 and is quite fearless.( wants to keep up with 7 yo DS) Anyway she is 41 in. so she is big enough for most rides. Is Tower of Terror too intense? She is pretty insistent on going on everything she is big enough for. She has ridden some small roller coasters before and loved them. Also loves the Haunted Mansion. Also what about Star Tours? She loves the movies. Thanks for any input.

Your dd sounds just like mine who is now 8. No fear. I would say she'll be fine on Tower of Terror. I saw very small kids (maybe 3-4yrs old) on it while we were there and they all did fine. ToT is actually very smooth but dark most of the time. When we went on it there were a couple small children, yet I was the only one screaming for my life!
Can't give you any help on Star Tours. Never done it, although dh,3dd's did but they weren't impressed.

I also noticed that she is tall enough to do Big Thunder Mt. RR, Splash Mt. & Test Track. I think there's a couple more but I'm drawing a blank. Anyways I think she'd love those (and again I saw very young,but tall enough children on these)!

Have fun!

Star Tours is my DS's favorite ride! He was and is a tall fearless kid....too much so sometimes LOL. He was able to go on most of the thrill rides when he was 3 and loved them all. He wanted to go on ToT when he was 3 but we wouldn't let him. He probably would have been fine with it at the time, but I didn't like the idea of him going on an elevator drop ride. That's probably more because I don't like them and didn't want to go on with him

At 41 inches, she can pretty much go on everything. The only exceptions I can think of are Space Mountain (44"), R&R coaster (48"?) and the Primevil Whirl (52"?).

Thanks so much for the feedback. That's pretty much what I was thinking.

my dd4 is 42.5" and is SOOOO exited to ride everything she can get her tiny little butt onto.. and i am SOOo nervous. I worked hard to make that baby! (extreme morning sickness for 9 months, bedrest for 5, 32 hours of labor and a 22 stitch epesiotomy) I get all weak kneed thinking of her hurtling through the air on a machine.. ON PORPOSE! lol.

She giggled a strange sadistic giggle when we watched the planning video.. and then made me look up height reqirements so she could rewatch the ones she can "get on"

I cant wait to see how brave she actually is when push comes to shove!

My daughter is 5 1/2 now and also very fearless; much more so than her 8 year old brother. When we visited WDW in 12/03 she was 4 1/2 and insisted that she wanted to ride TOT. We tried to talk her out of it but she insisted. She HATED it. She says she does not want to try it again for a long time. She did love BTMR, Splash Mt., and Star Tours.
