or a link to some site i can see just what it is? TIA Mary :)
 
Yikes, I'm putting my 3yo on that??? He'll be fine, I'll be a nervous wreck. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is the second person close enough to touch (ie can I keep my hand on my son?)?
 

Pternandon Flyers gets kind of scary near the end. The first part isn't too bad. After you hit the first break run, the ride picks up speed and you start swinging back and forth big time! Hang on tight! :)
 
I guess if they let 36" kids on it a person must be buckled in pretty well.
 
I would hope so :) I dont worry much about falling off of rides, I worry more about the G forces and its effect on brain, heart, etc....but I so love coasters :) Mary
 
I would worry more about my 3yo deciding to stand up. Or getting scared, but there probably isn't much of a chance of that since he's a daredevil. He could use a bit of fear! ;)
 
Isn't there a restriction on this ride that the child has to be under a certain height? Maybe I read it wrong-It looks like fun-Is there Express Pass for this ride? We will be staying on sight!!
 
pnelson:
The way I understand it, it is for a certain height kids (36 - 52", maybe?), AND adults only when accompanying a child who meets the height requirements. I read that they did this mainly because it is a very slow loading ride, so they try to avoid long waits by excluding adults from riding, except as noted.
 
Do you know if it's only one adult per child? Depending on the actual height restriction I have 1 or 2 children who would qualify for the ride, and there will be 6-7 adults/older children in our party.
 
I dont know but someone said they dont enforce it when they first open.....or when it's slow (near closing?) Anyone know for sure?

36"-56" Everything else is right.
 
Normally only first thing in the morning do the allow adults only on the ride. You will be directly behind your child and can reach out and touch them when needed.
 
Thanks Robert, that's what I wanted to hear. What type of restraint does a person wear? I'm really not worried about my little guy standing up or I wouldn't bring him on it, but I'm a mom and moms worry. :)
 
It's a lapbar & belt combo. Plus you've got rails on the side to hold onto as well.
 
It reminded me of a ski chair lift. I went on with my four year old.. it was actually a quick ride.

I'm not too fond of ski chair lifts, but it was sort of shaky like it.. if that makes sense. Its a quick ride, and well, she was fine with it.


ME, well, I was a nervous wreck with my baby! Roller Saoker at Hershey Park was pretty similiar set up, but a little different. My four year old went on RS at Hershey no problem, but it was more me than her..

Now she is five and wants to go on again, so she is no worse for the wear!
