My niece is 3 1/2 years old.To this day,after she went on SWSA for the first time,she refuses to even GO near the pavilion for the ride.We got her on it one last time this year,but she cried throughout most of the queue area and stopped once we got her on the ride.She intended that I sit next to her,since she feels I am her bodyguard and we are very close.I had to pinky promise I would hold her hand,and as we went through the ride,she maybe laughed once,but was more scared than ever.I'd be sad to see SWSA go,but,I think it may be just a tad too scary for kids.
