Splash Mountain, kids sitting together

[jennilouwho]

Can my 8 and 6 year old sit in the row in front of me together or will my 8 year old have to sit alone and I sit with the 6 year old?

I don't see any reason why they can't sit together?

I think they should be fine. There's a lap bar that pulls down, so just make sure it's tight. If you have any concerns though, it's best that you sit with your six year old at least the first time, so you can get a feel for it.

Okay. They will be fine, I just wasn't sure if the rule was an adult had to sit with a kid 7 and under or if they just need to be close by.

You'll be in the same ride vehicle with the 6 year old regardless of which row you're in; I'm sure that's all they care about.

Sounds good! Thanks everyone!

Depending on your sizes, you might all be able to ride on one bench together if you want. I've ridden with two teens on one before. Not the most comfortable, but it worked.

. Cool. That would be even better!

FWIW my dh is a big guy height and width wise and rode on the same row with our average size DS9 and DD5 last year.

My 8 & 6 -year olds were NOT allowed to sit together on Rockin Rollar coaster last trip. Even with DH right behind them. The 6-year old needed an adult in the seat with him.

Created bit of a headache for us.

Interesting, because on my trip a couple of years ago, my 5-year-old was allowed to ride in a row by himself on Barnstormer while I was in the row immediately behind him with his 2-year-old sister.

Thanks for that! That would be great so they can each ride twice and not alone with rider swap. Do you know if three can fit on Big Thunder? My 8 year old isn't as nervous about the Mine Train or Barnstormer and neither likes Space at Disneyland, so doubt they will want to ride it at WDW.

I wonder if Rockin Roller Coaster is more strict because it's more crazy???

I don't think 3 will work in Big Thunder. DS12 and I pretty much just fit, and we're neither big nor small
