29yrswithaGApass Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Children's rides are usually found in dedicated areas of the park that are set aside just for the smallest guests. Some parks opt to have their kiddie rides located amongst the adult rides - like a kiddie bumper cars ride next to the adult bumpers. When Time Warner took over management in the 1990's there was talk of relocating the kiddie rides around the park. Which do you think is a better approach?

gasmspiritblue Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I feel that it should just be in dedicated kiddie areas, where all the kids can run and find a new ride to go on without walking far or getting tiered+ less strollers through the park!

Yoshi Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I voted for dispersed throughout the park but since the park has multiple kiddie ride areas, it doesn't seem that bad compared to a park where all the kids rides are in 1 section of the park which makes it hard for families to split up. I remember trips to the park in the 90s where the rest of my family would be in Bugs Bunny Land and I would go to Rolling Thunder but didn't go to RMT since it was further away from Bugs Bunny Land but if BBNP had existed back then, I probably could have gone to RMT while everyone else was at the kiddie rides nearby.

robertleax Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I like it when they are mixed in with the rest of the rides. I don't mind having one children's section but you need smaller rides around the park near the adult rides. When my daughter and I went to a rollercoaster ride, my wife and son would hit a smaller kiddie ride close by. That way we we stayed together most of the time as a family. I remember doing that alot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg years ago. Gadv pretty much does this also. There are children's section throughout the park near all the large coasters. Even when my daughter and I went to KK, my son played in the Jungle area (but that's closed now) Now since both my kids ride all the coasters, need something for my wife to do besides sitting on a bench waiting for us all the time.

29yrswithaGApass Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think if the children's rides were scattered about amongst the adult rides the park would appear to have much more to offer. The way it is set up now guests without kids automatically discount the children's area and only consider what is left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think it is best to have kiddie rides in dedicated areas since parents don't control their kids that well anymore. At Hershery they have kiddie rides mixed with adult rides and sometimes you are tripping over little kids who dart right in front of you in thewalkways.

How about they just count the Kids Rides as separate rides instead of 1 attraction. Great America does it the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The survey results so far couldn't be more evenly divided - a three way tie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think Fiesta Texas does a good job with the combination. When you go as a big group with different age groups, it's nice to have to not split up all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moonracker7 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Great adventure is a large park so the diffusion of kiddie kingdoms through out makes sense. Fiesta Texas is the smallest in the chain so 1 area makes sense but there is a lot of ground to cover...from the picnic grove to bizzaro is a long walk and a central location makes no sense like fun fair made no sense.
