It depends on the kids. My kids didn’t get scared of haunted mansion until they were preschool aged. They’ve never been afraid of pirates.
Oooh I've never heard of someone not being allowed to skip the stretching room! I was definitely planning to ask to skip it, but now I'm worried!Pirates ride drop has scared both my kids at different ages. HM has too for the stretching room but they have always loved the actual ride. I asked to skip the stretching room when my high anxiety son was little but was told no so we didn’t ride that trip.
I'd probably lean toward skipping both of those with a two-year-old, as there are just so many other things to do. Most toddlers are not okay with total darkness, particularly in a strange place.
Been awhile but one grandson when 4 loved Tower of Terror but did not like Haunted Mansion as that one was boringMy niece, 4yo, will go on Tower of Terror and tell you that it's not scary. She will even offer to hold your hand if you tell her you might be scared. She will not go on Pirates because there is something about that ride in particular that scares her.
Agree. The stretching room can be scary. Was for my kiddos. They loved pirates, but it was the scream that did them in. You can skip the room. I wish I had known that because the ride isn't scary.It's the stretching room and the darkness and the screams.
I've taken all 5 of mine several times, ages from 5 months up. None of them have ever been scared on Pirates. Half of them still will not get back on Haunted Mansion.
