I took that exit 22 years ago, and even worse I wouldn't let my poor sister ride either in case something happened to her and I was left all alone in Florida (I was 15!), so I am determined to ride it now that I am finally returning all these years later! However for the same reasons, I feel I can't force my 5 and 8 year olds to ride, though that would mean I have to go on my own!

I took DS on this when he was four, I loved it, he hated it
Last year, when he was 9, he agreed to give it another go as long as he didn't have to watch the pre-show as this is what he thinks scared him the first time. We got to the front of the queue, avoided the pre-show, sat down on the seats and fastened our seat belts before he announced he just couldn't do it and we both left via the exit!

First, it's true in some cases that kids will pick up on how the parents are feeling and react to that. But that's certainly not true all the time. The parents can be quite happy for the child to go on the ride but the child just might not like it. Like adults, kids have a mind of their own and their own opinions, likes and dislikes.
We took our DD to see Philharmagic not thinking in the slightest that she'd be scared by it. It was just another movie (albeit 3D) after all. But after 1 minute she was scared and wanted to leave. Similarly, when DD was older we took her onto the Simpsons ride (one of my favourite rides) - she was a big fan of the Simpsons on TV so we thought she'd love the ride. But, surprisingly, the first time she rode it she hated it. (On the other hand, she liked Men In Black, even though we thought she might not like it). Second, I certainly wouldn't say that a 4 year old is old enough to decide things for themself. There's a reason why parents are responsible for children, even children much older than 4. I mean, if we allowed kids to decide everything for themselves they'd be eating sweets and chocolate for breakfast.
