Rise of Resistance and Millennium Falcon for a timid child, and similar rides

[phkc070408]

Our first family trip to Disney is in a few months. One of our children is a bit timid. While we are thinking about giving him earplugs for the loud noise, I was wondering how closing your eyes helps, mainly with the g-forces in the simulators. I realize the back and forth jerking motion is real, but are the g-forces strictly visual?

I read a post somewhere else about watching a youtube video and trying it out, but that didn’t do anything for me.

If any parents have had any success with bringing a timid child on, please share your secrets.

For these 2 rides I didn’t feel the g forces were too rough. No worse than Dino ride in AK. Spoiler- rotr has one part with a bit of a short drop feeling, very quick like only 2 seconds.

I have a family member very skittish (they don’t even do Test Track) but they’ve done these 2 multiple times. Really the rides are so interesting and engaging is helps distract from uncomfortable feelings. Millennium Falcon is kinda like Star Tours with the jolting. I’d put timid child in one of the 2 pilot seats that’s probably less scary because it feels more like you are in control.

How old is your child? I have a sometimes timid 5 year old. When he was 4, his vivid imagination got the best of him and he cried all through the Millennium Falcon ride. At age 5, he wanted to ride Dinosaur with his cousins, but the loud noise, etc. scared him to the point that he was a little skittish the rest of the trip (we exited the Star Tours line before getting to the ride). We have yet to get a boarding pass for RoR. So it may depend on age. Millennium Falcon does have a rider swap. Not sure if this works if someone is unwilling to ride or just if they are too small to ride.
