Make them small enough so that your average ten year old is so uncomfortable that walking would be the better option.

But just, as you say, to kids who are meant to fit inside em. I would never hire one because of the silly prices. Mine was £20 to buy 3 years ago. Im not going to pay however many dollars it is a day to borrow one for a few hours.Its a pain at times to carry on the train or shuttle bus,but well worth it. And Im biting my tongue at the not taking kids to Disney who cant walk comment.......did they design all rides for just adults then? would love to see TDLFAN on the Dumbo ride!

Nice T shirt!
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Well even though I can't produce pictures of myself on Dumbo, I have ridden it many many times, just like I have ridden on the StarJets at all parks, Orbitron (both at HKDL, DLP and DLR), both Flying carpets at MK and WDSP, and have even ridden on Triceratops Spin at DAK once..of which I have a picture of.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Oh..and BTW.. it so happens that I have ridden TDL's Dumbo as well which in fact the slowest Dumbo line of Earth because they still have the old Dumbo ride with lower capacity as opposed to the other 4 Disneylands/MKs where Dumbo's rides are newer high capacity versions.
Originally Posted By bloona ^^I try to escape from going on it at all costs by telling the kids the queue is too long etc (not a lie!) or it's closing (lie!) Im really surprised someone would choose to go on it without a small kid asking them if they can. I love Universal's one fish two fish though, the song and water bit improve it a lot imho, I have queued a long time for that.
Originally Posted By Labuda "Im really surprised someone would choose to go on it without a small kid asking them if they can." Yeah, but it's DUMBO! Ya gotta ride it at least once! I rode it during Early Entry at the MK a couple years ago, and a couple years before that caught it late int he evneing at DL. No wait during Early Entry at the MK (YAY!), and only one load wait late night at DL.
Originally Posted By disney pete Bloona i am the same as you will not queue for dumbo as its way too slow not been onit for my last 3 visits,also love red fish blue fish i end up singing it all day after riding it, TDLFAN i like your pic on golden Dumbo.

Whatever...I mean, when I was younger, putting myself through college and working two jobs at 19, Walmart was very affordable for me, if I can get things like shampoo and make up for $3.00 a pop, why not? In fact if shopping at walmart meant that I was able to take care of myself and afford things that I needed when I was working my BUTT OFF, yeah, shopping at walmart IS something to be proud of.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Hmmm...Red Fish Blue Fish...We went on that, just so we could go on everything in the park in one day.

(During the painfully crowded spring break from WDW as well, not the off season) We got on it, and didn't want to get wet, and we thought the song gave instructions on how to stay dry. Boy was that fun! It was pouring by the time we left anyway, so it really didn't matter.
