Rollercoasters for light rider?

[PaulalovesDisney]

We will be visiting for the first time early this summer and I am a bit concerned about my older DD and the rollercoasters. She will be 11 years old and is over 54 inches tall, but she only weighs 55 pounds. Will the big rollercoasters like Hulk and Dragon Challenge be too rough for someone her size? She LOVES rollercoasters, so I'm not worried about her being afraid. Thanks!

The big roller coasters have excellent over the shoulder restraints that will pin her in there very nicely.

My son is almost 9 and 63 pounds. He is 55 inches and wants to finally ride Hulk and DD. He has ridden everything else but my wife is also worried about the 2 bigger ones. He rode RRR in US about 1 1/2 years ago when it first opened and did not have to much of a problem. I say let them try, its over in less than 2 minutes, but my wife has other opinions.

I find Dragon Challenge to be a teensy bit jerky, but still smoother than a lot of coasters. Hulk is one of the smoothest coasters I've ever ridden anywhere. I agree that the shoulder restraints should keep her pinned in nicely and she should be fine on both. My bff is 5'0 and petite and didn't have any problems on any of the coasters last week.
