Dumbo the Flying Elephant Ride

[mjkaferle5]

Do you need an adult in each elephant with a child? Our three oldest (8,5,5) would like to ride, but we need one parent to stay back and watch our fourth who is an infant.

So can one adult ride an elephant with one child while the other two ride in a seperate elephant? Or do we need to do the relay method by having one adult and a couple of kids stay back about 25 people or so in line, while the other adult and child go on?

Or am I just making this too complicated?

Actually now that I think of it, can you do a child swap on this ride?

Our children are 9,6,3. The 9 year old rode with the 6 year old and I or DW rode with the 3 year old. Your oldest will quite easily be able to take of themself and one of you 5 yr old on the ride. It is an extremely gentle ride and they will be fine on their own.

Depends on the children, I am sure some 8 year old's would be able to supervise a younger child.

I wouldn't let the two 5 year old's ride together though.
I think it is a good question though and do not think you are making it too complicated.

My 8 year old rode the ride w/her little cousin (4) last year and did just fine while I rode w/my son. No need to worry. The controls are easy enough to move the elephant up and down.

Can your infant ride too?? My son went on many rides with us when he was about 8 months. Guess it depends on how old your baby is....

Yes you can child swap.

My kids rode together this summer. DS10, DS8, DD5. Picture belowed. They were fine.

I'm pretty sure the baby can go on too. We went on it with our 4 month old about 7 yrs. ago

I think the only stated restriction is that you must be 7 to ride alone.

Cheers.
