A year ago, our oldest son and I waited in line for thirty minutes to ride this mouse looking roller coaster at Beechbend Park, only to get our turn and find out you had to be forty two inches to ride. I have to say, even though it was a small defeat, it broke my heart to see him so disappointed.
Over the next year, we measured every inch on his growth chart. When he hit forty two inches, we celebrated. That meant big things to a five year old and in his world, big things are the mouse roller coaster. Today the wait was over, we went to Beechbend Park and waited in line about fifteen minutes to ride the mouse roller coaster. When we got our turn the guy said, "I doubt he's forty two inches", and I replied with assurance, "I'm quite sure he is, measure him," and he was. Our oldest is kind of a little fellow, so looks can be deceiving. It was worth the wait ans he was so excited and the ride lived up to his expectations.
I suggest all parents either purchase a growth chart or find a good door seal to keep up with their growth. They grow up so quick. Land of Nod has some that are my favorites and they can be personalized.
