Also, too add to this question. I understand that it is a kiddie ride, but as an adult would love to ride it too. Is this possible? Is there a weight limit?
Well an adult can ride it seated behind a kid. There is a height limit - employees were measuring the height of kids with a yardstick before they were letting them get in line to ride.
We are just back and finally did this ride. It was pretty cool.
It does not have express however and the line gets pretty long so I would
go early in the day.
It is like a swing. The child sits up front and you in the back and you soar
over the trees and Jurassic Park, you'll love it.
My 5 year old loved it, a little scared at first, but wanted to get back on it--with the wait over 90 mins, once was enough!! However--if you have the opportunity--ride it at night, the absolute BEST!!!!
We rode it about 15 times with our kids in late June and they loved it. However, getting there once the park opens is the key. WE rode it about 5 times before 10AM. After that, they wait time would move up to 60 minutes. Riding at night is awesome as well and as long as you are in line before closing time, you get to ride.
I understood this ride to be a kiddie ride as well...but the chance to see IOA from a birds eye view seemed cool enough to stand in line. When it was over we (all not kids) were like "That was it"...after waiting for (only) 45 minutes. I won't do it again, but understand how the little ones would like it.
I'm an adult, but I've always wanted to ride this ride!
Last year, I got the nerves up to doing it (not because I hate rollercoasters, I'm a thrill-seeker, I just thought it was for kids and there was a height/weight limit)
And I got in line and the line was over an hour, so I said forget it. I really want to ride it this time. Besides early in the morning, when is the other best time to ride this, and what time does it close, and how do you ride it in the drk before it closes?
