Maic Mountian, non riders

[agamble]

We have three kids, an almost 6 y/o DD (48" + tall), a 3 y/o DS, and an 8 month old. At Discovery Kingdom, we take turns taking our oldest on thrill rides (or occasionally going on one solo) while the other takes our son to ride something he can do by himself and takes care of the baby. This works for us since we have the Gold Pass and can go all year, we don't mind that we can only get so much done and spend most of our time in the kiddie areas.

We're going to Magic Mountain this weekend (free entry with our Gold Pass) as the first stop in our family vacation. They have several coaster rides both of our older two can ride, some bigger ones oldest would like to try, and maybe a few my husband and/or I would do solo.

Does anyone know how queues work with non-riders? Can we all line up for one ride and take turns riding? Do they allow children not tall enough to ride to wait in a queue (Disneyland doesn't)? We want to make the most of our day as we don't plan to return any time soon.

I thought I would update on this. We went to Magic Mountain earlier this month. We did a lot of splitting up for rides, but at the end of the day we went to ride Twisted Colossus and noticed the queue did not have stairs. So we decided to all wait together with the stroller. When we go to the front we asked about a rider swapping option. We were told that all of the coasters are supposed to offer the option. They had an area where my husband could wait with the stroller and our three year old while the oldest and I rode. Then we swapped. They had our daughter just stay in the coaster seat and my husband got my seat. We decided to try it out on Goliath and it worked similar there, I had to wait with the stroller at the exit while they waited in line and rode, then we swapped out adults. We left after that, so we didn't try it out at any of the other rides, but we were told they should offer it.
