I took my daughter on Space Mountain when she was tall enough to ride it. She screamed through the entire ride. I asked did you like it? She said yes. I asked do you want to go again? She screamed Noooooo!!!! and burst into tears. Now this girl will do every gut retching coaster on the planet. A child should ride a ride when she is brave enough to do not because she is tall enough and the parent really wants to do it.
We took her to universal and the tram entered the Earthquake portion of the ride. She had no clue what was going to happen. When the shaking started, she freaked out and wanted off the tram. She hasn't done it since mostly because Earthquake was closed every time she visited.
Sure, which is why I haven’t taken my son on Mission Breakout even though he’s been 40 inches and riding Space, BTMRR etc for the last few years because I think it would terrify him. My point is that it’s another advantage for families looking for more to do together. More options are obviously better than fewer. At 40 inches you have more options for families than at 48 inches which is when the family coasters open up at Knotts. Even though I can’t figure out why rides like Jaguar have such a tall height requirements.
