See I understand the idea that there weren't supposed to be kiddy rides in Disneyland and everything should be able to be done together with families but that simply isn't true anymore. I remember trips where I was too short to ride Space Mountain, where I couldn't go on Indy, or even for a tiny bit after I was tall enough the thrill aspect of the rides scared me. I loved the Fantasyland dark rides and in California Adventure my brothers and I really enjoyed Jumpin Jellyfish, it was fun and not super scary but still had some more physical thrill than a dark ride. I think people need to acknowledge that there should be some form of kiddy ride in either park, because having another option for parents with a young child will be a good thing when there are so many more thrill type attractions than there were in the past. Sure, I won't ride any of them personally, but it reminds me of the Autopia debate. People talk about how you just drive around which isn't fun because driving is just a chore to get to and from work for some, but as a kid I loved Autopia. It made me feel so cool and grown up getting to drive around, I would always joke with my mom or dad that it was my turn to drive them since they always drove me. I don't ride it anymore, and I do admit it takes up a lot of land, but removing the ride outright would be a huge loss for the park. Some experiences are perfectly fine being tailored towards younger kids, it gives them these magical feelings they can't have in the real world that they can hold on to, like the memories I have had.
