pirates ride

[wishonastar]

sorry about all the questions i bet youre sick of me already

is this ride too scary and fast for young children or is it one for the whole family?

[Johnie]

It's for the whole family. It is dark in there and there is some cannon fire so that could potentially frighten small children. There is a very small drop at the beginning of the ride. The rest of the ride is a very slow moving boat ride

[piglet]

Agree with Johnie, it's a great ride for everyone. Just one really tiny drop and then a lovely ride. Great Johnny Depp in the animatronics

The six year old I took was really spooked by the cannon fire and the darkness (an issue with that child) so if your children don't like the dark, this could be a problem.

We learned with the six year old that MUCH of WDW attractions are in the dark!

well we have one child who has loved this since he was 2 and one who is scared of it at 6 so its not always straightforwards, I thnk now they have ontroduced the Davy jones film as you go in it can make it a little scary TBH - best off riding it once with the older kids and see what you think

[wishonastar]

hmmm yes I think I'll take the older one first thanks!

[Grammiepo]

depends on the child, you know them best.
