Walking through Dinosaur queue and then using "chicken exit"

[Annie78]

My 4 yo is crazy about dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure Dinosaur will be too scary for him to actually ride, but I think he'd like the queue. (He meets the height requirement, so he'd be allowed in.) How does the chicken exit work on this ride - do you have to walk through the ride vehicle to get out, or is there an exit before you line up for the vehicles? If we have to go through the vehicles I'm worried he will insist we should stay...

We took an exit fairly early in the queue once it got uninteresting and darker. I don't think we were near the seating area. I think you'll be fine.

Maybe you could watch a YouTube video w/ him ahead of time so he could decide? IMO there's only one REALLY scary part.

Yes, you would walk directly through the ride vehicle to get to the exit. Instead of sitting down, you just keep walking. If you don't want to get that far, you could find a CM after the preshow and ask them to point you toward an exit.

This shouldn't be a problem.

Way back when my now teenage granddaughter was little, she decided she wanted to ride Dinosaur so the whole family got on. Five of us. Right before the preshow, granddaughter noticed a *gasp* dinosaur skull and now was scared a dinosaur would be killed. I tried to reason with her during the preshow and telling her we would save that dinosaur. But, you can't deal with a five year old's fears on a that level. We made it out of the preshow and talked about the ride vehicles and how they could save that dinosaur. She didn't care. UP to the queue. "Three to ride, two to exit". The Cast Member sent all five of us to one row (the vehicles are four seaters across) and three of us sat down, two exited across the row.

The only persons uncomfortable was the granddaughter and my husband who opted out to be with the granddaughter.

So, go through the queue and you will be taken care of.
