Just came back from Disney with my grandchildren and they were so disappointed that Tinker Bell didn’t fly out the castle. Does anyone know why?

FWIW we didn't see her in March either. I just assumed they stopped shooting the poor girl down the wire. :p

Tink won’t fly during inclement weather, high winds or if there is lightning on the radar.

It is also possible you missed her. Her flight happens quickly and is not always obvious to those watching the show.

I was watching on YouTube and missed her twice. I mentioned to my wife they must have stopped that and she rewinded and was like right there blind man.

I'll do it for that. How much weight does harness hold? 🤔🤔

Theres multiple sites that post Tinks requirements. They are fairly similar but with some variable stats. The space in the castle where Tink and friends set up to take off is very limited. One site says Tinks height has to be between 4'11" - 5'2" with the weight between 95 - 115 lbs for the ability to enable zipping down the line. The gear Tink uses weighs about 15 lbs. Someone once posted photos of the space Tink takes off from, but I cant find it , but its very tight.

The performer has to be light as the "catch" at the end of the wire is pretty dramatic.

Wow. These requirements make me look like King Kong climbing the castle. I'd be two Tinks fraying the heck out of the zip line. I couldn't even imagine the "catch" with me coming down the zip, and feel sorry for that individual. 🤣

Maybe. I’ve learned from these boards that your 13yo would have to be 4’10-5’ ish and weigh between 100 and 105 pounds and be pretty athletic to pass the auditions.
