I read somewhere they are going to replace the bars with lapbelts. That wll make in more frigthening. There is one seat which is like that already which is the middle of the back row. My daughter always goes in that seat if can as she loves the weightless feeling when your butt leaves the seat.

We wouldn't put our 4 year old on it, we thought it was a bit too much for her. we are waiting until she is few years older maybe 6.

Yes Julie, I posted about lap belts on another forum, it is for this reason they are supposed to be changing them to add a bit more terror! Can't comment as I won't go on it and I don't think I'd even manage to get my 5yr old in the queue! let alone on the ride. She thinks that they are real people in the model as you drive down to the park and that terrifies.
I would think that lap belts would be better for smaller kids, as the bar comes down and stops at the largest legs - which is why the kids always fly out of their seats :)

Make sure everything is safely locked away on this ride-either with a cowardly friend or in a bag.A friend of ours lost expensive sunglasses because he wouldn't take them out of his pocket.!
I'll volunteer to be that cowardly friend-I'm just hoping my kids don't force me onto anything I don't want to go on!

I think the lap belts would be good. When our boys are sat between me and DH they actually leave their seats during the drop and rise up until they hit the lap bar. Not that either of them minds too much - both horribly fearless. Nervous people often chat to them in the queue - its the kind of 'if that little kid can do it so can I' feeling - but they don't really put them at ease at all with their exaggerated tales.

I took my son on the ride for the first time when he was 5, and it was too soon. He didn't mind the drops as much as the holographic ghosts. As soon as we got out he turned to me and said "Let's not do the Toilet Zone anymore!"
He did go back...but not until he was 9.
I felt quite pleased with myself for having done this ride as it's about the only 'big' one I have been on. I'm another one of the 'I'll hold your sunglasses whilst you go on' club. It used to be alright when by son was small as I could say 'No, you go on, I'll wait with Jack'. Now Jack's a teenager and his mum's a wimp!!
Now I know they might have changed the bars to lap belts I might be even more of a wimp next time and have to admit I'm simply scared!

I went on it for the first time 2 days ago and it's still got the bars rather than lapbelts.
Did the drop 5 times that I counted.
Great fun too...the themed bit before you get on the ride itself is very reminiscent of the Hanuted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom.
