5yo on Primeval Whirl

[hajenga]

How is the Primeval Whirl? My 5yo hasn't been on his 1st ride yet.

Is your five year old tall enough to ride it? Mine wasn't. He needs to be 48" tall. If he is tall enough then it is a great ride. A bit jostling around the corners but fun.

Two months ago my son was 47 1/4 inches without shoes. Will have to see how tall he is in late September. Why the height restriction on this ride?

Wow. He's tall. I have never understood why they have the height restriction on this thing.

It is due to the over the shoulder restraint system.

It is due to the over the shoulder restraint system.

I could just be losing my mind here but has there always been an over the shoulder system on this ride?

Yes.

 

[G00fyDad]

Wow. I truly don't remember them always being there.

If he's tall enough, he'll likely enjoy it. I enjoy it and I'm about 40 years older than him.

It's also only about 90 seconds of ride, so if he doesn't like it, it won't last too long.
