Still it is sad for the boy to die at three. 😞

Both my DD and DS was above 90cm before they reached their 3yo bdays. For kiddy rides, the height limit might have been 90cm but other considerations should be considered too.

The ride was supposed to be a gentle straight forward up and down one with no turns. I think I’ve not been to an amusement park for so long I am totally out of touch with reality and I really thought it would be a leisurely gentle ride.


The man at outer gate said better not, but the lady at the ride said he met the height requirements and let him through. We were not sure what to expect but decided that DH should sit with him and hold him. Thank goodness DH did because the ride was really too fast and tilted 90 degrees at one stage. I think ds2, who is quite slender, could have slipped through if DH was not holding him throughout and I’m sure I would not have been able to hold him well. I think I aged a year on that ride, petrified for ds2. I’m staying far far away from roller coasters from now on.

Even if it is a kid’s roller coaster.

your first link is missing something somewhere.

It just goes to show, we can never ever take for granted the safety of our young children. But 3 yr olds on a roller coaster like this one ? Some safety guidelines must be screwed up over there. An adult should accompany hm at the least.

Condolences 🙏

Hi vlim, the page cannot be found leh. I thought 3 years old will be too small to take the roller coaster? Usually there is a height limit.
