Stupid Question Time...

Dumb question. My BF and I are going in March. We have no small children with us. Can we ride Dumbo? Or will they tell us no, because we're 2 adults?

Well that's good to know. I plan on being a giant kid and running around in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area too. I was just asking since I always see people with kids and never 2 adults on the ride.

Heck yes you can ride it!! My GF and I (we're 23) went last year and rode Dumbo as well as got your picture taken in the Dumbo they have set up beside the ride!

My husband and I rode the Barnstormer together...little kids were looking at us sideways but we didn't care! I had taken our kids on with my mom and I wanted him to see that our daughter (who is afraid of the drop in Pirates - if you can call it that) went on and LOVED it. We screamed too - like 2 little kids. That's what Disney is all about! :D

Sounds like somebody has been to Universal...


Not Universal, at least not yet. Nope Six Flags is the one who tells us that certain rides are only for 1 adult 1 child or no adults at all. Like go-karts. Maybe I wanna ride, but not drive. What gives?

Haven't been to Six Flags in well over a decade, and I was young enough then to have zero interest in anything but the thrill rides, so I never even tried any of the kiddie rides. And in fact it never occurred to me that adults would be banned from a kids ride until we an experience we had at Universal Orlando (or maybe IOA). Can't remember the name, but there was a ride on which adults were allowed, but only if they had children. My wife can't really take the thrill rides anymore, and we'd been having a bad day at Universal and she wanted to go on this ride, but we were turned away at the gate for not having a child with us. While one of the gate keepers argued with us, the other let several adult couples on without kids - which makes sense, because it was just a gimmicky thing to try to highlight the family-friendliness of the ride.

It annoyed my wife enough that we went to guest services and made a stink about it - and they argued with me too. They eventually relented however and let us ride. I think that was our last visit to that park.
 
I went on Dumbo with my friend in Paris and we loved it :sohappy:, and I will be going on it in WDW in Nov with my 6'3 28 year old bf..... even if he dosnt know it yet :ROFLOL:

There is a coaster at Cedar Point in Oh. No adults are allowed to ride unless accompanying a child. I have a friend that is a HUGE coaster enthusist and has no kids so it is the one coaster that he has never ridden. He keeps asking me if he can borrow my kids(DDs 3 & 6) for a weekend so he can ride this one coaster. I keep reminding him that if he took my kids to Cedar Point he'd get to ride that one coaster but none of the other ones because my girls wouldn't be tall enough to get on them. Guess it's not worth the coast of a flight from NJ to Ohio just to ride the kiddie coaster.
