Unfortunately, my designated ride-chickens (DH, DS - he was 9 at the time, and my mom) did NOT enjoy 7DMT and will not be riding it again. However, DH & DS did Forbidden Journey at US and that was much, much, much worse (DS was crying hysterically, 11 now, and DH wouldn't even go on the Dr Seuss rides afterwards - I told them not to go on it, but they wanted to try bc it was Harry Potter), so comparably not even close to as bad as that. They will both (not my mom) do Splash Mt (although DS gets very nervous). Neither will consider any other coaster. DD(8, was 6 at the time) & I find it quite tame, but she's my adrenaline junky.
