i'm surprised teenagers don't dare each other to leap out onto the roof of particular structures etc. maybe they do but the fair doesn't tell the paper because they don't want to encourage it

Makes you wonder about Disneyland - something similar, mayhap?

i was just wondering about it because we used to ride it every year but haven't taken the lads on it. it says here they can ride if they're 2, which they are, but there is no way in HELL i'm taking a wiggly toddler up in the air with no restraints. there's no 5 point harness, there's no seatbelts

i could PROBABLY hang onto them even if they had a fit of some kind up there but why chance it. stakes are too high. if it goes well they get a fun little ride, if it goes poorly they die. not on the agenda for today

i'm thinking maybe 6? a 6 year old can understand the command "sit still" and has a decent chance of surviving falling ~30 feet if they stick the landing in a pigpen

nobody gets to go ~30 feet in the air without a 5 point safety harness until they understand that winnie the pooh, little bear, and paddington bear are three different bears

i remember riding it with my mom when i was about 6 but i was a BIGTIME rules-follower. i've never broken a (valid) rule in my life. i burst into tears if someone even insinuates i might consider breaking a rule. brian is also a bigtime rules follower but who knows, we might carry a recessive gene

they might have congenital "little shit" syndrome. i don't think a microarray picks that up

This is when you could use RFK Jr to scan their mitochondria.

I'm not a parent, but observing my own little cousins, I'd say 6 is the minimum and that I'd definitely take their individual temperaments into account even then.
