Beginning today, more kids will be able to ride the AquaDuck, the water coaster onboard Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Dream.
MousePlanet.com first reported and a DCL spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that the minimum height requirement for kids will drop from 48 inches to 42 inches.
To ride alone, however, the height requirement increases from 48 inches to 54 inches. Also, kids must be at least 7 years old to ride alone. Otherwise, they must ride with someone 14 or older.
The cast member loading the AquaDuck when I rode it last month indicated the cruise line was still tinkering with requirements, largely because without enough weight, the two-person rafts can get stuck in the tubes.
Kids riding solo before me were advised to pull in on the handles and lean back if they found themselves stopped. Don’t worry: This isn’t a common occurrence.
