Can my 10.5 yr old ride coasters alone?

[JessLCH]

Usually my 13 and 10 year old ride together, but I may be doing a one on one trip with my 10 yr old. he loves Space Mountain, R and R Coaster, etc. Will he be allowed to ride alone? I would wait for him at the ride exit. I have a health issue that prevents me from riding the thrill rides. Thx.

Yes. Once they hit 7 years old, they can ride anything alone.

Yes. Once they hit 7 years old, they can ride anything alone.

Provided they meet the height requirement.

I believe they can at that age as long as they meet the height requirement of the ride.

 

[marivigi]

yes, as pp mentioned. As long as he meets the height requirements, anyone over 7 can ride alone. Under 7's need to ride with someone who is at least 14

No problem. Last year my 9 year old wanted to ride Dinosaur over and over again. My husband doesn't like the ride much and I was 7 months pregnant, so he was on his own and had no issues.

Thanks all!

Took my 7 yo on single rider for Rock n Roller Coaster several times. He loved it and thought he was a real big kid. They did ask me each time how old he was. Lots of fun.

It hasn't been mentioned but you can be in the entire queue line with your son and once the seater person asks how many, you reply, "one to ride, one to exit" and you will be shown the way out. I would advise that you and your son agree on a meeting place after the ride as some of the places might have an exit away from you are led. If the attraction exits into a gift shop, I would meet him just inside the shop or just outside the shop (you can enter from the exit of the shop at most places). If he wants to do Twilight Zone, no problem there and you will be led to right before the photo viewing area and you will have a lot of fun watching the others exit right off the elevators.

I too had a health problem for five years and couldn't do the thrills so I sent my husband on those attractions on his own. We didn't have a problem meeting up after since we had a preset meeting place we both knew. Very easy.

Before we let her alone into the queue, we show my niece the exit area of a ride she'll be riding solo, and exactly where we'll be at when she exits.
