What would be the order you would introduce a kid to coasters to (understanding that if #1 isn't a go then you abandon all the others! lol)

We are first timers and I'm trying to get ready for our FP+ window. Kids are 7 and 5 (she's tall). Rock-n-Rollercoaster is out for sure though.

Thanks!
 
Barnstormer, Probably 7DMT (although haven't done it myself), BTMRR, Splash, EE, Space, RnRR, if tall enough. My 5 year old is barely tall enough for EE and that's 44 inches. So Space and RnRR would be out for the 5 year old probably.The rest are 42 and 38 inches respectively.

Sounds about right! But, I would put Space before EE.

7D is very very smooth and don't let the look of the drop intimidate you, it's really nice. It's not much of a thrill ride but, it is a lot of fun and very pretty.

Barnstormer is cute but, super short, kiddie coaster. I make it more thrilling by riding in the back. BTMRR is fun and wild ride it both during the day and at night. It seems faster and wilder at night and the views are awesome.

Splash has great animationics and some surprises before the big drop.

Space is an indoor/dark mouse coaster that while fun, is old and ROUGH. There should be a chiropractor at the exit to straighten your spine out.

EE is very cool themed, super smooth, fast... there is a major surprise in regards to the track. I am still working the courage to hop on it again as I wasn't digging the drop.

RnRc is the only one I am too chicken to hop on. LOL!
 
Thanks SO much!!! This is really helpful in planning. The 5 yo is 47 inches and we have a little over 2 months to go we BUT I'm thinking that's still too much. Unless she falls in love with coasters, I am not going to push that one at all! I'm sure they'll be thrilled with the "regular" ones :)

Thanks again@
