Height thingy

[Pigletandpooh]

You know that ride in Jurrasic park that is like a swing with a terodactiyl(tYpO) is there still that silly height thing where you must be under 54"?????

 

[Slacking]

Yes, BUT if you arrive first thing when the park opens, and run back to Jurassic Park, there's a strong chance you'll be able to ride anyway. But, lemme warn you, I finally go to ride this a couple weekends ago, and it was rather ummm.... sucky.

Pternandon Flyers really picks up speed at the end. Some people find it a lot scarier than Dragons or the Hulk!

I think even if you have kids that are tall enough, go to Pternandon Flyers first anyway. I've seen waits of 45 minutes for the minute long ride. You can always get Express passes for Spider-Man or the Hulk. You can get Express passes or use your onsite hotel room key on the Flyers.

what about mommies that are "pooh sized " can we still ride it with our little ones is there a weight limit..

 

[Daydreamer64]

I don't know of a weight limit but I rode it last year with my 68 lbs son and my 225 lbs added in so we had 293 lbs plus what ever we ate that day- and we did eat lots of junk . There was no problem for us!

My hips had to squeeze a bit but I'm getting to be a pro at fitting in "regular" size kids ride seats that parents can go on too! I'm 5'5, wear a size 22 jeans, xl elastic shorts and 2x tops if that helps to size compare.

HTH
From one Pooh sized Mom to another

Unless they have changed the policy since April, you cannot use Express Pass or your room key for FOTL for the flyers.

I think that was a typo by our great but fallible Webmaster Barry.

I was there yesterday I had NO problem fitting!! When we got there wait was only10 minute when we left it was 45 minutes and it did not even look crowded but then we counted and they only have 3 flyers going and each 1 seats 2 so ..... it was a long wait.. just a heads up . However I will say teh park was EMPTY yesterday!!!! no wait for anything!! LOVED IT!
