Rides which scare the children?

[Sallyjackzero]

My DS hated Stitch's Great Escape. Even though he's older now, he says he is never ever going back in there. Such a shame as we all love the character and the film. The ride is just too intense for the age it's aimed it.

My DD will not ride haunted mansion. We attempt it every year with no success. The theme is to much for her. She do always say "mummy why are you taking me on a grown ups ride" bless her.

Iam hoping this year being 7 and have grown up so much over the past year she may feel ready to give it a go. Fingers crossed

My sister (17) and I (15) hated the Stitch ride, not because it was scary but because the harness things squishing our shoulders was actually very sore (especially with sunburn! ).

My DD6 got totally freaked out by Winnie the Pooh. However put her on EE or misson space: orange and she was fine. Totally depends on the kid!

My two hated Haunted Mansion and Stitch - they are not huge fans of dark, spooky, make you jump kind of rides. They are all over the fast rollercoasters though! (6 and almost 5 on the last trip). We didn't get on pirates, had fast passes for our last day at MK but it was broken for most of the day.

We just talked about this half an hour ago. Both my dd hated ittbab the first time they went, age 3&5! We were just laughing about it as they both ended up on the floor hiding 😆

My DD used to be scared at the beginning of Philharmagic went the lights went down and it was dark. We had to leave.

I'm not surprised. I can do the Hulk coaster but Tower of Terror scares the heck out of me. I think the clue is in the name.

It is the same set up, yes. Same theatre, same seats in a circle, same tech and same idea. It's just that the theming has been tamed down. Now it's about Stitch escaping and causing mischief (and burping!) rather than a violent, bloodthirsty alien escaping and attacking the audience.

If some kids find Stitch's Great Escape to be too scary, then they would have been completely traumatised by the previous Alien Encounter attraction.

my youngest did the tower of terror aged 4 years and 2 days... and liked it.

There really are no hard and fast rules.

the five year olds favourite ride is haunted mansion we got him on it by telling him it was called the happy mansion , he then went on it 5 times in a row ( good job i love it ) he wouldnt do tower of terror cause he read the sign and wasnt falling for that twice...
our first park was ioa ( always is ) and he hated blutos and spiderman the first time but by the time he had been on the other rides he wanted to go back on them.
only one he refused to go back on was stitch, he loves stitch but that scared him to death. so much so he refused to meet stitch later.
every kids diffrent , i wont go on dinosaur cause i hated it but he loved it , i also wont do space mountan and he picked up on that, so he wouldnt go on till his dad persuaded him. and then he loved it .

I brought my 5 year old son on EE. He hated going backwards, and consequently wouldn't go on any other "indoor " rides for the rest of the holiday. Bar say Nemo
