We were all too young to really go on any of them.
Did you avoid them because of your age?
It doesn't make common sense, right? But this is what happened.
Age restrictions protect riders in case something goes wrong, such as the stopping on a safety brake or having to be evacuated. In those, cases, people under the designated age can be at extreme risk.
Nah, we'll just have a fun time instead.
It's okay to find an alternative to have a fun time. Being at a park there are certain rules that should be followed but that doesn't mean other attractions can't be experienced. Then when you're older you can come back and try out the other stuff.
