When anyone asks about funny kid stories here on the DIS I've posted this story about my grand daughter. I still think it's funny though: The first time I took my dare devil grand daughter down there, I took her dad with us. She really wanted to ride RnR, but my son told her no. Knowing he was not fond of anything that goes upside down or jerks you around, I told him I would ride with her, but he said no that she'd be too scared. She got angry and informed him she wouldn't be scared, he was the ride chicken, not her (which was true

). Anyway, I took her back alone exactly a year later for some GM-GD time. As soon as she found out we were going, she immediately started talking about RnR and how much she wanted to ride it. I asked my son and he said I could take her on it if I wanted to, but she'd be scared. My GD again reminded him that she loved coasters and would not be scared. I called my exdaughter in law one day to get a consent to travel with my GD and asked her about it. She just laughed and told me to take her on it, because unlike my son, she knew my GD was like her and would love it. Anyway, the day we went to DS, we were in the front of the line at rope drop and walked right behind the CMs that walk you back to the ride. We were one of the first ones on. I asked my GD if she was absolutely sure she wanted to ride and she gave me a disgusted look and told me she had been waiting a whole year to ride RnR and nothing was keeping her off the ride. As soon as we got seated she excitedly reached up and pulled the restraint down and then started looking for a seat belt. When I told her it just had the overhead restraint, she suddenly gave me a terrified look and screamed, "What do you mean there's no seat belts?"

A CM walked by just then checking everybody's restraints and my GD gave her a panicked look and said, "There's no seatbelts on the ride!". The CM told her she'd be fine and the coaster took off. My GD screamed throughout the ride that she was falling out. After we got off, I asked her if she was OK and she said "Yeah, it wasn't that bad". I asked if she wanted to ride it again and she thought for a moment, then said asked if she could think about it. She was really quiet, not saying another word walking through the gift shop and out that tunnel like exit. However, just as we got outside where they have that concrete area where people sit waiting for family members, she turned, put both hands on her hips and screamed at the top of her very loud lungs: "Why did you let me ride that thing? I could have been killed. Geez, I thought you loved me!" I reminded her that she had been asking to ride that ride for a year and that she insisted on riding it. She gave me a disgusted look and said, "What do I know? I'm a kid. You're supposed to be the adult. My mom is not going to like this."


I reminded her that her mom and dad both had said it was her decision and she could ride it if she wanted to and she had insisted even after I had warned her. She mumbled something about stupid adults and kids might as well raise themselves, and stalked off. She was like 8 or 9 years old at the time. lol
