The Mummy Ride ...to much for a 6 yo?

[JMCDAD]

Of course it depends on the kid but I would think in general too intense for a 6 years old.
For example it was my DD 13 fav ride (we went on like 4 times)
My DD 10 and DS 8 who are on the scared side when it comes to big rides, rode it once, liked it, like that they did it, but didn't want on again.
When I say intense I am referring to the ride itself not really the affects.
Before he went on, my son was afraid of the mummies themselves, he thought they were going to jump out at you and come real close, they don't , I had to convince him of that before he would try it

So...when you all talk about how the ride is intense...not so much the "theming"...Are you saying that even if the theme..were to be, let's say..."Alice in Wonderland"...or "Cinderella"...it would still be a bit too much? It's the ride, itself...and not so much the scary parts of seeing the mummies?

Yep..... I don't think it would be that big of a deal in the light, but the fast coaster elements are for the most part in the dark. You can see things around you, but you can't see the track. From what I've been told the drops aren't really that high at all (highest is 40ft?) but the dark makes it feel a lot higher and faster.

We just retured from Disney/Universal
and my 7yr old went on The Mummy with me, he wanted to
and he did not like it

He did Everest with me at Disney and Tower of Terror
but this one was intense for him
Next time

Daughter was tall enough to ride last weekend. Loved it. She's 6. Personally Everest and TOT is way more intense.....I think this one has a Mummy...a dead guy..as the main character...and no two ways about it, I dont care how much you fluff it up, you wont get a cuddly mummy doll out of it like you do with Yeti.

Our daughter has grown up on theme parks. The Mummy opened a week after she turned 7. She loved it then, loves it now.

Another one who believes it depends on the kid.

When we were there my kids were 5, 8 and 10. We all were in the queue and about half-way through my dd (5) decided she was scared so my husband took her out.

The other couple who were with us had a 5 & 10 yr. olds. They both rode it and the five year old boy was TERRIFIED and was very ticked off that his parents 'let' him ride . He was mad at them for a while and was reluctant to go on other rides that he couldn't see for sure what was going to happen (like Spidey).

The other kids loved it and couldn't get enough of it. I don't think the actual ride would scare a six year old, but it's the theming that gets them (imo).

I think it depends on the child - my six year old rode it and she was fine we showed her the movie before she went and she knew a little what to expect. My other six year old was not tall enough to ride but when she is she wants to and I think she will be able to handle it

my thought on this is watch out that it doesn't trumatize the chid cause my ds 11 will not do spiderman the mummy or posiden due to honey i shrunk the audience at epcot when he was 9 due to the 3D lion and snake and I know it sounds silly but he is terrified of them but he wants to ride the hulk doctor doom and any other but if its 3D for get it.
just explane the ride to them and tell them it could be very scarey for them
