The Barnstormer Tips

  • Scary Factor: A gentle, family-friendly coaster designed for young children. It features mild dips and turns and does NOT go upside down at any point.
  • Speed: The Barnstormer reaches a top speed of 25 mph, offering just enough thrill for younger riders without being overwhelming.
  • Ride Duration: Approximately 1 minute, providing a quick and exciting experience for kids and families.
  • Drops: Features small, mild drops that are fun and accessible for young riders, without being too intense.
  • Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to sudden movements and mild coaster elements.
  • Accessibility: ECV users must transfer to a manual wheelchair for the queue, while most power wheelchairs are accommodated. Guests then board and unload on the unload side. Service animals are not permitted. See a Cast Member for assistance.
  • Sensory Advisory: Outdoor ride with a stimulating environment featuring other rides, trees, and people. Includes a shaky car ride with moderate twists and turns, loud coaster sounds, and screaming. Tight lap bar harness is required, with a bar on the seatback in front of you.
  • Plus-Size Friendly: Vehicles may feel snug for taller or plus-size riders. Choosing a car without an overhead wing and riding alone or with a small child can increase comfort.
  • Best Age Group: Ideal for preschool-aged children and older who are ready for a gentle introduction to roller coasters. A great choice for families with young children.
