[quote=Anonymous]Not really, but be prepared for a different experience.

We've taken out kids when they were 5-7.  Although my 7 yo kids can ride Merlin's Mayhem (height limit is 39"), they were too short to ride the Kingdom Coaster (they were 45" on their 7th birthday when we went and the limit is 46").  And from 46"-53" they have to ride accompanied by a rider over 54" tall.  They can't ride the ride solo until they are 54" tall.

They can't drive the bumper cars by themselves until they are 54" tall.  Or drive the Turnpike cars.  So that means, if I take them by myself, they can't ride either bumper cars, turnpike cars or Kingdom Coaster at the same time.  I have to take one on, leave the other standing at the entrance waiting and then wait in line again with the other kid.  Fortunately the lines are not that long, but it means we get to do a whole lot less.

The twister requires someone over the height or 48" to ride with someone 42-48" tall.

Similar problem with the pipeline plunge in Duke's Lagoon.  Riders need to be combined weight of 90 lbs to ride.  At 6, they had to ride with me, so they had to wait as I went down with one, then had to run up with the other and ride again and they wanted to do it again.  I ran up those stairs 8 times before I told them we were done.  At 7 they could ride together, but they really want to ride by themselves, which they still can't do yet.

There are a lot of attractions that my kids are still waiting to do by themselves or at least without me so that they don't have to wait for me to cycle through and do it with each of them.  Besides rides are a lot more fun without Dad in tow.
